Abstract: ABSTRACT A microwave C-, T- or S-switch has an actuator of circular shape that is rotated by a suitable motor.  Each conductor path of the switch contains a connector having two positions, one position connecting the conductor path and a second position interrupting the conductor path.  The conductor paths and connectors are enclosed within a housing and a pin is mounted on each connector and extends outside of the housing through a suitable opening.  Each pin is spring-mounted so that the conductor path is connected when the pin is depressed and interrupted when the pin is released.  The actuator is shaped and mounted to override the pins, the actuator containing one or more ridges and one or more indentations.  When a ridge overrides a pin, the pin is depressed and the conductor path is connected. When an indentation overrides a pin, the pin is released and the conductor path is interrupted.  By properly arranging the size and location of ridges and indentations on the actuator, the conductor paths can be connected or interrupted simply by rotating the actuator through two or more positions.  The switch achieves mass and volume savings over previous switches.  Also, the switch is simple and relatively inexpensive to manufacture.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for protecting BIOS stored on a direct access storage device into a personal computer system.   The personal  computer  system  comprises  a  system  processor,  a system planar,  a  random  access  main memory,  a  read  only memory,  a protection means and at least one direct  access storage device.  The read only memory includes a first portion of BIOS and data representing the type of system processor and system planar I/O configuration.  The first portion of BIOS initializes the system and the direct access storage device, and resets the protection means in order to read in a master boot record into the random access memory from a protectable partition on the direct access storage device.   The master boot record includes a data segment and an executable code segment.  The data segment includes data representing system hardware and a system configuration which is supported by the master  boot  record.   The  first  BIOS  portion  confirms  the master boot record is compatible with the system hardware by verifying that the data from the data segment of the master boot record agrees with the system processor,  system planar, and planar I/O configuration.   If the master boot record is compatible with the system hardware,  the first BIOS portion vectors the system processor to execute the executable code segment  of  the  master  boot  record.   The  executable  code segment confirms that the system configuration has not changed and  loads  in  the remaining  BIOS  portion  from  the  same protectable partition on the direct access storage device into random  access  memory.   The  executable  code  segment  then verifies the authenticity of the remaining BIOS portion and vectors the system processor to begin executing the BIOS now in random access memory.   BIOS,  executing in random access memory, then activates the protection means to prevent further access  to  the  protectable  partition.   BIOS  boots  up  the operating system to begin operation of the personal computer system.
