A notification of an emergent condition is provided. A mobile device application executing on the processor of a user device, and communicates with a server system over a telecommunications network, which generally comprises the public Internet. The mobile device user includes a 'dead man's switch' control, which begins the emergency notification process if released. The emergency alert process uses a central case management server to provide a uniform interface into key data, reducing the need for operators to provide information verbally.

Providing assistance in an emergency

A notification of an emergent condition. In one example, a mobile device application executing on the processor of a user device communicates with a server system over a telecommunications network, which generally comprises the public Internet. The mobile device user includes a 'dead man's switch' control, which begins the emergency notification process if released. The emergency alert process uses a central case management server to provide a uniform interface into key data, reducing the need for operators to provide information verbally.

A pre-paid debit or credit card account, and an associated pre-paid debit or credit card, is provided to a consumer for use with one or more check conversion stations. The check conversion stations include a card reader for obtaining user account data associated with the consumer's pre-paid debit or credit card account from the pre-paid debit or credit card and a paper check scanner for obtaining check data from a paper check provided by the consumer. At least part of the user account data and the check data is then subjected to analysis, verification, and/or approval of a transfer of at least part of the funds indicated by the check data to the balance of the pre-paid debit or credit card.

Refund issuing stations that can be accessed by users/taxpayers include a user interface for obtaining user ID data associated with users/taxpayers and a card/cash dispenser for providing the users/taxpayers with a prepaid tax refund debit or credit card, or currency, based on user tax and/or refund data provided by a financial management system used to prepare user's tax returns and tax related documents, and/or file the user's tax returns.

A system and method to assign a score to an entity involved in a transaction where the score is used to manage risk for a transaction underwriter. In particular, the score represents the ability of the entity to fulfill a financial obligation separate from the transaction where failure to fulfill the financial obligation by the entity results in defaulting on the transaction. The score assigned to the entity may be determined by aggregating data obtained from multiple sources, such as accounting application, payroll application, inventory management application, personal financial management application, and/or tax preparation application used by the entity.

A cooling system for a computer includes a cam-actuated cold plate. Compliant, thermally conductive pins on the cold plate contact electronic heat generating electronic components when the cold plate is moved toward a circuit assembly that includes the electronic components. Optionally, the cold plate may be cooled by circulating coolant through it.

Cam actuated cold plate

A computer system uses a modular fan design. Multiple fan modules can be used, and identical fan modules can be used for directing air into and out of the computer system enclosure. Each fan module is hot swappable, and can be replaced quickly without the use of tools or fasteners. Optional mounting features on the fan and the computer enclosure prevent misassembly, and an optional color coding scheme aids in assembly. An optional splitting light pipe directs light from a single status-indicating source to both the front and back of the fan module.

Modular fan system

A power connector is configured to float on a computer backplane allowing bulk power supplies to be physically located adjacent to the backplane. This allows use of an EMI gasket between the bulk power supply and the backplane preventing high frequency noise from radiating out of the computer case. Standard electrical plugs may be used on one or both sides of the power connector allowing standard bulk power supplies and line cords to be used on one or both sides of the power connector.

Electrical adapter

A variable gap thermal interface is coupled with a cold or hot plate, forming a low thermal resistance connection between an electronic device module containing at least one heat generating electronic device and a rack or other structure. The variable gap thermal interface and the cold or hot plate are provided in a configuration to allow quick-disconnect of the electronic device module from the rack, allowing for a wide dimensional tolerance between the module and the rack while maintaining a reliable thermal connection. An embodiment including a plurality of server modules within a server rack in conformance with the present invention, allows the replacement of server modules while powered without any disconnection or reconnection of hoses to cold plates used in cooling the server modules, thus greatly reducing the probability of leaks and resulting damage to the system.
