Abstract: A system for scheduling storage accesses of multiple continuous media streams may include a plurality of media stream clients. Associated with each media stream client is one of a plurality of media stream managers. Each media stream manager maintains a ring of buffers configured to buffer media stream data between its associated media stream client and one or more storage systems. A different deadline queue may be associated with each one of the storage systems. Each deadline queue may be configured to queue buffer requests from the media stream managers. Each buffer request may include a deadline by which the buffer request must be fulfilled by the corresponding storage system. Each media stream manager may be configured so that once one of its buffers is consumed by the associated media stream client, the media stream manager submits a buffer request and deadline for that buffer to the appropriate deadline queue. Buffer requests may be ordered in each deadline queue from earliest to latest deadline. Each media stream manager may be configured to provide a guaranteed maximum media stream rate to its associated media stream client. The system may also include an admission controller configure to negotiate a maximum media stream rate with each media stream client. The admission controller may allow additional media stream clients only if negotiated maximum media stream rates can be maintained for all current media stream clients. The system may also include a bandwidth allocator that allocates bandwidth between guaranteed rate requests and non-rate-guaranteed requests.

Abstract: Each software component loaded for a verified operating system on a client computer must satisfy a set of boot rules for a boot certificate. A verified operating system identifier is created from the boot certificate. The boot certificate is published and signed by a boot authority that attests to the validity of the operating system booted under the boot certificate. Each software component for the operating system is associated with a component certificate published and signed by the same boot authority that signed the boot certificate. The boot rules determine the validity of the software component based on the contents of the component and boot certificates. The client computer transmits the verified operating system identity and the boot certificate to a server computer, such as a content provider, and the content provider determines whether to trust the verified operating system with its content. Downloaded data is secured on permanent storage through a key derived from the verified operating system identifier. The boot certificate, component certificates, and secured content define the boot domain.

Abstract: A bumper assembly for a loading dock includes a bumper that is moveable between an operative position and a stored position. In the operative position, the bumper extends well above the dock platform to prevent excessively high trucks, trailer beds, and cargo containers from being parked over the top of the dock platform. In the stored position, the bumper is positioned so as not to obstruct loading and unloading of cargo. In some cases, the bumper is biased to the operative position to encourage operators to normally leave the bumper in that position. In some embodiments, the bumper is selectively moveable away from the vehicle or container that the bumper is blocking to facilitate subsequently moving the bumper to its stored position.
