A method of remotely managing a fielded device with a device management system (DMS). Via a processor, a DMS directive can be received on the fielded device. The DMS directive can include at least one system command for a DMS agent instantiated on the fielded device and intelligence information not previously stored on the fielded device that is necessary for the DMS agent to interpret the system command. Via the processor the DMS agent can be executed to process the system command using the intelligence information provided in the DMS directive to implement the system command without requiring an update to computer-readable program code that defines the DMS agent.

Disseminating commands from a DMS server to fielded devices using an extendable command architecture

A method and system for validating components during a booting process of a computing device are described herein. The method can include the steps of detecting a power up signal and in response to detecting the power up signal, progressively determining whether software components of the computing device are valid. If the software components are determined to be valid, the computing device may be permitted to move to an operational state. If, however, at least some of the software components are determined to be not valid, the computing device may be prevented from moving to the operational state. In one arrangement, if the computing device is prevented from moving to the operational state, corrective action can be taken in an effort to permit the computing device to move to the operational state.

A method for generating a secure application is described herein. The method can include the steps of obtaining a target application and decomposing the target application into original files that contain predictable instructions. One or more predictable instructions in the original files may be identified. In addition, the target application may be modified to create the secure application by binding one or more intercepts to the target application. These intercepts can enable the modification of the predictable instructions in accordance with one or more policies such that the behavior of the secure application is different from the original behavior of the target application. Modification of the target application may be conducted without access to the source code of the target application.

System and method for creating secure applications

Systems, methods, and apparatuses for facilitating communication between remote services and applications installed on a device are described. In accordance with embodiments, each of a plurality of remote services generates an application-specific message intended for processing by a corresponding application installed on a device and transmits the application-specific message to a device management system (DMS) server, where it is queued. A DMS client installed on the device sends heartbeat messages to the DMS server indicating that the device is available to receive messages. In response to receiving the heartbeat messages, the DMS server transmits the application-specific messages to the DMS client. The DMS client then publishes each application-specific message to the particular application that the application-specific message was intended for.

Shared heartbeat service for managed devices

A beverage service framework is provided which is easily and safely portable using one hand for carrying a beverage container, stemmed glasses, and other service items. The base of the framework is designed to securely retain an unopened beverage container in approximately horizontal orientation and to securely retain a beverage container opener, foil cutter, drip collar, napkins, and coasters. The base alternatively supports an open beverage container standing upright. The base is connected by one or more columns to a top member forming a carrying handle whereon are mounted a plurality of retainers for securely retaining inverted stemmed glasses, thus providing all items necessary for a comprehensive beverage service.

Exhaust air from a clothes dryer is dried in an air treatment unit and returned to the dryer. The air treatment unit is manually portable and separate from the dryer. Air is circulated through the air treatment unit by means of the dryer fan. The dryer heating mechanism can be deactivated so that drying is effected by very dry, unheated air. Recirculation fans can be provided in the treatment unit for recirculating air a number of times through each compartment.
