摘要:
A connection technique for switchably and mutually exclusively coupling a plurality of device sets. The connection technique utilizes a low profile connector having multiple circuit sets, each of which is configured for mutually exclusive and removable insertion into a receptacle coupled to multiple devices. Each one of the multiple circuit sets, which is inserted into the receptacle, couples a desired set of the plurality of device sets.

A computer system that selectively disables power to wake on LAN (WOL) devices in the absence of AC power. In one embodiment, the computer system comprises a power supply and a power management controller. The power supply is configured to provide power to a wakeup device. The power management controller receives an AC voltage sense signal that indicates the presence or absence of an AC power source and enables the power supply to provide power to the wakeup device when the AC voltage sense signal is asserted. The power management controller preferably disables the power supply when the AC voltage sense signal is de-asserted. The computer system may operate in several states including an off state, a power on self test (POST) state, a working state, a trap state, and an armed state.

A dynamic lane management system comprises at least one downstream device of a computer system configured to dynamically initiate a lane width re-negotiation operation with at least one upstream device of the computer system in response to a detection of at least one power-related event associated with the computer system.
摘要:
A laptop computer and mating docking station where the docking station provides power to the laptop computer over power rails of the Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface. The laptop computer has laptop docking logic that both provides power in accordance with standard USB protocol, and also receiving power across the power rails of the USB interface. Likewise, the docking station has a docking station dock logic that establishes communication with the laptop docking logic across the USB power rails. Once positive communication is established, the dock station provides voltages on the USB power rails sufficient to power the laptop computer as well as charge the laptop's battery.
