    摘要: A serial bus with pre-defined protocol may be used on the NIC to provide PC management functions. While these functions may be used with the PC powered up, they may further perform valuable tasks while the PC is powered down. With these new added functions, centralized control may be achieved which will lower the administrative cost and serve better for distributed computing.

    摘要: The present invention allows NIC resources to be accessed through auxiliary power and an ASIC clock while the PC is powered down and while PCI power and the PCI clock are not available. The present invention also provides an alternate path for accessing the NIC registers, downloading keep-alive and alert-on-LAN packets to the transmit packet buffer (TPB), as well as uploading received packets from the receive packet buffer (RPB). The present invention also allows monitoring PCI activity and seamlessly servicing the PCI configuration cycle (when PCI power and the PCI clock are restored) in conjunction with responding to the access through the alternate path (while PCI power and the PCI clock are not available).

    摘要: Low power event monitoring enabling logic allows wake up devices to maintain their proper functionality in the event of a momentary power loss, or in the event the operating system does not properly load upon power-up. The technology is particularly suited for use with network interface card supporting Wake-On-LAN functions. A component with low power enabling logic is provided for a system having power management resources responsive to power management event signals to switch to an operating state. The component comprises power logic having a first mode in which power consumption is limited to a first specified level and a second mode in which power consumption is limited to a second specified level higher than the first specified level. The component includes an interface to nonvolatile memory storing a control signal. Logic is coupled to the interface to the nonvolatile memory and responsive to detection of a power supply voltage to read in the first mode the control signal from the nonvolatile memory, and to the signal the power logic to enter the second mode in response to a specified state of the control signal. Monitoring resources operating in the second mode monitor for an event, and in response to detection of the event produce a signal to cause the system switch to the operating mode.

    摘要: Various embodiments of reduced-size vehicles such as all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and utility vehicles (UVs) are disclosed herein. In at least some embodiments, the vehicles include frames that are wider near the front and rear sections of the vehicles than within the mid-sections of the vehicles. This, in combination with the use of shock-absorbers that are substantially vertically oriented, allows for the opening-up of large interior cavities within the front and rear sections of the vehicles within which can be positioned large front and rear internal compartments that can provide storage/carrying capacity as well as added buoyancy for the vehicle, among other things. Also, in at least some embodiments, the vehicles can include special cooling and/or exhaust systems having components that are positioned substantially within the mid-sections of the vehicles, thus further increasing the amounts of space available for the cavities/compartments within the front and rear sections of the vehicles.

    摘要: A water-base fluid for use in drilling wells and other drilling operation includes a shale clay which swells in the presence of water. The fluid preferably includes: an aqueous based continuous phase, and a shale hydration inhibition agent having the formula: H—(OR)x—[—NH—CH2—CH2—CH2—O—CH2—CH2—NH—]—(R′O)y—H wherein R and R′ are independently selectable alkylene groups having 2 to 4 carbon atoms, and wherein x and y have independently selected values such that the sum of x and y is at least 1. The shale hydration inhibition agent should be present in sufficient concentration to reduce the swelling of the shale clay. The fluid may be used for formulating drilling fluids such as water-base drilling muds or clear brine drilling fluids. The fluid may also be used in the slurrification and disposal of drill cuttings that contain water swellable clays or shale clays.
