Abstract: A method and data processing system for providing a preload imaging process that is self-healing. The state information of a single or multi-threaded preload environment is autonomically recognized and stored in a log file along with the corresponding file images that are being preloaded. The log tracks the image files and related state information for a plurality of simultaneously executing (preloading) threads. When a crash occurs during the preload process, the log information is dynamically analyzed to determine a safe point within the respective threads to resume the preload operation. The preload process is then autonomically resumed from the safe location without necessarily having to restart the entire process.

Abstract translation: 一种用于提供自愈的预加载成像过程的方法和数据处理系统。 单个或多线程预加载环境的状态信息被自动识别并存储在日志文件中以及正在预加载的相应文件映像。 日志跟踪多个同时执行（预加载）线程的图像文件和相关状态信息。 当在预加载过程中发生崩溃时，动态地分析日志信息以确定相应线程内的安全点以恢复预加载操作。 然后从安全位置自动恢复预加载过程，而无需重新启动整个过程。

Abstract: Traffic signal data is broadcast, for receipt by vehicles traversing the roadways controlled by the traffic signals. If desired, traffic lights are provided with the capability to broadcast their location, status, changing cycles and timing data continuously. A receiving system in a vehicle is configured to receive the traffic signal data and display, to a user of the vehicle, visual display information and/or audible information informing the user of a speed range which, if followed, optimizes the use of the highway and minimizes the number of starts and stops that must be made.

Abstract: A method and system for obtaining a check digit to identify a given numeric sequence of n digits and to verify the accuracy of subsequent entries of the numeric sequence. First, a numeric sequence of n digits is distributed among elements of at least two matrices. Next, the matrices are multiplied together, thereby obtaining a resultant matrix having m elements. Finally, a check digit is derived from the m elements of the resultant matrix, which may be utilized to identify the numeric sequence and verify the accuracy of subsequent entries of the numeric sequence.

Abstract: A “setmax” command is issued in BIOS to hide the service area (HPA) of a HDD during normal operation, so that the HPA cannot be accessed or erased inadvertently by the user or by a virus. Pressing a special key (e.g., F11) during booting permits access to the HPA.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for selecting a waking process. An input module receives a specified input during the off state of a data processing device. In addition, the input module stores the input in the storage module. The storage module may be integrated within the input module. The input module activates the data processing device in response to the input. A wake module retrieves the input from the storage module. In addition, the wake module determines a process that corresponds to the input. The wake module wakes the data processing device using the process.

Abstract: A method for updating an ISO file, e.g., to add a digital signature to the ISO file, includes adding a supplemental file composed of, e.g., all zeroes to the ISO file before recording, and then recording the ISO file with supplemental file to an optical disk using ISO format. A digital signature is computed after recording. The zeroes in the supplemental file are replaced by the values of the digital signature and the file is re-saved. Also, an ISO file that might have a common part and several unique parts, e.g., for respective languages, is deconstructed such that only a single copy of the common part is recorded to disk, avoiding multiple recordations of the same data.

Abstract translation: 用于更新ISO文件的方法，例如，向ISO文件添加数字签名，包括在记录之前将例如所有零组成的补充文件添加到ISO文件，然后将具有补充文件的ISO文件记录到 光盘采用ISO格式。 记录后计算数字签名。 补充文件中的零被数字签名的值替换，文件被重新保存。 此外，可以具有例如用于各自语言的公共部分和几个唯一部分的ISO文件被解构为使得仅公共部分的单个副本被记录到磁盘，从而避免对相同数据的多个记录。

Abstract: A system, method, and program product is provided that updates the firmware on a hybrid drive by reserving a memory area within the hybrid disk drive's nonvolatile memory buffer. The firmware update is then stored in the reserved memory area. The next time the platters of the hybrid disk drive spin up, the firmware update that is stored in the reserved memory area is identified. The identified update is then written to a firmware memory of a firmware that controls the operation of the hybrid drive. In one embodiment, the update is written to the firmware memory by flashing the firmware's memory. After the firmware is updated, the hybrid drive is reset. Resetting of the hybrid drive includes executing the updated firmware.

Abstract: A method for booting into computer memory a non-operating system (O.S.) program from a hard disk drive (HDD) prior to booting into memory an O.S. from the HDD. The method includes establishing a table of contents (TOC) on the HDD that contains entries for special O.S. programs. A pointer to the TOC is placed in non-volatile memory of the computer that is associated with the HDD, and when BIOS of the computer is prompted to load into memory one of the special O.S. programs, the pointer is accessed and used to locate the TOC, which in turn is accessed to load the special O.S. program.

Abstract: Hacking a rental computer to use it beyond purchased rental time is prevented by plugging a time card with internal counter into a DIMM socket of the motherboard and encrypting the register locations of the time card with the private key of the motherboard to bind the time card to the motherboard. Thus, if the time card is not detected at boot or if it is removed during operation the computer is disabled. The counter counts down the rented time period as it receives clocking signals, and at the elapse of the purchased period disables the computer.

Abstract translation: 将出租计算机用于超出购买的租赁时间的情况下，可以通过将带有内部计数器的时间卡插入主板的DIMM插槽，并用主板的私钥将时间卡的注册位置加密，将时间卡绑定到 主板。 因此，如果在启动时未检测到时间卡，或者在操作期间删除了时间卡，则计算机被禁用。 计数器会收到租用的时间段，因为它收到时钟信号，并且在购买的时间段过去禁用计算机。
