    Abstract: A miniature digital assistant module with a local CPU, a memory, and a touchscreen I/O interface in a preferred embodiment, has a host interface comprising a full-service parallel bus, including data lines, address lines, read/write signals, and at least one memory control signal, connected to the local CPU and also to a connector at a surface of the personal digital assistant. The full-service bus connection provides direct bus communication between the personal digital assistant and a host computer. In a preferred embodiment, the miniature digital assistant also stores a security code, which the host can recognize. The miniature digital assistant forms a host/satellite combination with the host computer, which has a docking bay. When the miniature digital assistant is docked, a docking control routine controls access by the host to memory of the personal digital assistant based on one or more passwords provided by a user to the host. In an alternative embodiment the personal digital assistant also has an expansion port connected to the local CPU, and expansion peripheral devices may be connected and operated through the expansion port, even while the miniature digital assistant is docked.

    Abstract: A personal digital assistant module with a local CPU, (central processing unit) memory, and I/O (input/output) interface has a host interface comprising a bus connected to the local CPU and a connector at a surface of the personal digital assistant for interfacing to a bus connector of a host general-purpose computer, providing direct bus communication between the personal digital assistant and the host general-purpose computer. In an embodiment, the personal digital assistant also stores a security code. The personal digital assistant according to the invention forms a host/satellite combination with a host computer having a docking bay, wherein upon docking a docking protocol controls access by the host to memory of the personal digital assistant based on one or more passwords provided by a user to the host. In another embodiment the personal digital assistant also has an expansion port connected to the local CPU, and expansion peripheral devices may be connected and operated through the expansion port. Connectable devices may include input devices such as pointer devices, that may in some cases be stored in a compartment fashioned for the purpose in the personal digital assistant.

    Abstract: An integrated CPU has an on-board switching voltage regulator with an electrically-erasable programmable read-only memory electronically accessible for storing a feedback reference coefficient for control. In further embodiments, output voltage is tuned via a second EEPROM storing an electronically accessible value in concert with a solid-state resistor ladder. In other embodiments, signals on interrupt lines to the CPU are monitored to provide a prewarning of impending activity by the CPU requiring dramatically increased current flow. In yet other embodiments, solid state circuitry is provided to reduce or eliminate capacitors used for dealing with input current surges to the CPU.

    Abstract: A disk array server has a cache and a log drive wherein data blocks, as received are written synchronously to both the cache and the log drive, the cache being written back to the disk array as opportunity affords. The log drive is managed so, when full, data is overwritten in the order first stored on the log drive. Data blocks written to the log drive are flagged as to whether the same block in cache has been written to the disk array, and the flags are updated as the cache is written back to the disk array. In the event of a power failure, data lost from the volatile cache as not yet written to the disk array may be recovered from the log drive. In one embodiment, the recovery is automatic on startup after a power failure.
