An Internet-coupled transaction service has a link to a computer appliance coupled to a merchant site, the computer appliance operated by a person who has selected one or more products or services to purchase at the merchant site, and who has selected, through the merchant site, the transaction service to arrange payment, and software executing from a computer-readable medium accessible to the service. The transaction service, via the software verifies the identity of the person, determines a credit worthiness for the person, and the score being sufficient, arranges payment to be made to the merchant on behalf of the person, and arranges repayment terms with the person for the payment to the merchant.

A thumb drive comprises on-board memory for storing digital information, a male USB connector coupled to the on-board memory for connecting to a USB port of a computer appliance, internal control elements for managing MP3 player functions for the thumb drive, a display for displaying downloaded song titles, user-operable controls for selecting and playing songs recorded as audio files in the on-board memory as audio output at an output connector, a Bluetooth™ compatible transmitter for transmitting selected data and audio output to external Bluetooth™ compatible devices, and an extension/retraction mechanism coupled to the connector for extending the connector from an enclosure of the drive and for retracting the connector when not in use.

The invention discloses a network distribution method and apparatus, a storage medium, a terminal and a home appliance. The method comprises the following steps: causing a first home appliance in more than one home appliance to be distributed with networks to obtain first identity information and a first key of a to-be-connected router, and to connect to the router according to the first identity information and the first key so as to accomplish the network distribution of itself; and causing the first home appliance to separately send the obtained first identity information and a first key to the other home appliances excluding itself in the more than one home appliance so as to perform network distribution on the other home appliances. The scheme can overcome the defects of troublesome operation process, long time and poor user experience in the prior art, and can achieve the beneficial effects of simple operation process, sort time and good user experience.

The present invention is directed to non-disruptive generation of core files for a computer appliance without rebooting the computer appliance. In an embodiment of the invention, the computer appliance is analyzed. A determination is made as to what core file generation options will be non-disruptive to the computer appliance. The tradeoff is evaluated between options that will generate core files which are more useful in diagnosing potential problems with the computer appliance and options which will generate core files which are less disruptive. A procedure is determined which will generate the core file without disrupting the computer appliance. Resources are allocated to utilize in generation of the core file. The procedure is then executed and a core file is generated without disrupting the computer appliance.

The present invention is directed to an automatic generation of a support collateral as well as to an automatic generation of core files. In one embodiment, a support collateral is automatically generated when a core file is generated. The support collateral is information used to support diagnosis of potential problems. A computer appliance further includes a framework of rules organized by a subsystem. A subsystem is a functional component of the computer appliance. Rules are evaluated when an inflection point is encountered. An inflection point is a critical point in processing where processing is interrupted. A core file is generated for the computer appliance when indicated to do so by a rule.

The invention discloses a checking and diminishing method of computer virus in the computer appliance domain, which is characterized by the following: basing on computer virus checking and diminishing method of data flow through matching the virus feature data with the checked and diminished data flow (internal memory mode or file generation data flow); containing internal memory checking and diminishing virus method and file checking and diminishing virus method; providing the identification of new variant of known virus or partial new virus without updating or less updating; analyzing and extracting binary code of known virus as virus feature to find new variant of virus or new virus in the internal memory mode or file; extracting the file feature automatically (if the internal memory mode corresponds to the file)to generate new file virus feature; updating the virus database automatically; finishing checking and diminishing task through scanning the new variant of known virus and partial new virus and other all duplicates.

A computer appliance including a front-end interface communicating with a client computer, a back-end interface communicating with a storage, a compressor receiving native next generation sequencing (NGS) data from an application running on the client computer via the front-end interface, the application being programmed to process native NGS data, adding a compressed form of the native NGS data into a portion of an encoded data file or data object, and storing the portion of the encoded data file or data object in the storage via the back-end interface, and a decompressor receiving a portion of an encoded data file or data object from the storage via the back-end interface, decompressing the portion of the encoded data file or data object to generate therefrom native NGS data, and transmitting the native NGS data to the client via the front-end interface, for use by the application running on the client.

A manufacturing process management (MPM) computer device is provided. The MPM computer device is configured to store an engineering bill of materials for a product to be assembled including a first plurality of parts, store a manufacturing bill of materials for the product to be assembled including a second plurality of parts and a status, receive a request from a user to change the status of the manufacturing bill of materials, compare the first plurality of parts with the second plurality of parts, determine whether the first plurality of parts matches the second plurality of parts based on the comparison, if the comparison matches, change the status of the manufacturing bill of materials, and if the comparison does not match, prevent the status of the manufacturing bill of materials from changing.

The invention relates to an operation and maintenance method, system and device of power equipment, computer equipment and a storage medium. The method comprises the following steps: an operation andmaintenance server receives an operation and maintenance request carrying an equipment identifier of power equipment reported by a power equipment inspection terminal; determining a power equipment maintenance end according to the equipment identifier, and sending the operation and maintenance request to the power equipment maintenance end for the power equipment maintenance end to respond to theoperation and maintenance request to obtain maintenance information; receiving maintenance information sent by the power equipment maintenance terminal; acquiring historical maintenance information ofthe power equipment based on the equipment identifier; and according to the maintenance information and the historical maintenance information, updating the inspection period of the power equipment,and sending the updated inspection period to the power equipment inspection end, so that the power equipment inspection end inspects the power equipment according to the updated inspection period. Byadopting the method, relevant adjustment can be performed on the inspection period according to the maintenance information of the power equipment and the historical maintenance information, so that the operation and maintenance efficiency is improved.
