Abstract: Embodiments provide systems, methods, apparatuses and computer program products configured to provide alternative desktop computing solutions. Embodiments generally provide client devices configured to utilize one of a local base image and a base image stored remotely, with a user-specific overlay image remotely storing user specific data. The clients are configured to download and store the base image locally.

Abstract: An approach is provided that, upon receiving a keyboard event, reduces a volume of an audio input channel from a first volume level to a lower volume level. After the volume of the audio input channel is reduced, the approach waits until a system event occurs, with the system event based at least in part on the occurrence of a nondeterministic event. The volume of the audio input channel is then increased from the lower volume level to a higher volume level when the system event occurs

Abstract translation: 提供了一种方法，其在接收到键盘事件时将音频输入通道的音量从第一音量级降低到较低的音量。 在音频输入通道的音量减小之后，该方法等待直到系统事件发生，系统事件至少部分地基于非确定性事件的发生。 然后，当系统事件发生时，音频输入通道的音量从较低音量级别增加到较高音量

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for file system sharing. A Read-Only File System (ROFS) organization module organizes a single ROFS for a plurality of operating systems. Each operating system executes on a distinct virtual machine. Each virtual machine executes on a computer. A Read/Write File System (RWFS) organization module organizes an RWFS for each operating system. An access module accesses the RWFS and ROFS for each operating system. The RWFS and ROFS appear to each operating system as a single, private file system. Each RWFS comprises at least one pointer to the ROFS.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for reassigning a client. A selection module selects a second computation module that is hardware compatible with a first computation module. A suspension module suspends a software process for a client executing on the first computation module. An execution state module copies a computation module execution state of the first computation module to the second computation module. A memory map module copies a memory map of a software process image associated with the software process and stored in a first storage system from the first computation module to the second computation module. In one embodiment, a resumption module resumes the software process executing on the second computation module.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for authentication of a core root of trust measurement chain. The apparatus for authentication of a CRTM chain is provided with a plurality of modules configured to carry out the steps of retrieving a decryption key from a predetermined location on the device selected for authentication, decrypting an authentication signal using the decryption key, and communicating the decrypted authentication signal to a user. In the described embodiments, these modules include a retrieval module, a decryption module, and a communication module. Beneficially, such an apparatus, system, and method would reliably verify that a link in the CRTM chain has not been corrupted, modified, or infected with a computer virus. Specifically, such an apparatus, system, and method would enable verification that the hypervisor has not been corrupted, modified, or infected with a computer virus.

Abstract: A hard disk drive unit includes a microprocessor programmed to erase data stored within the drive unit if it is determined that a process potentially leading to a misuse of the data stored within the drive unit, and if secure disposal configuration data stored in nonvolatile storage within the drive indicates that the data is to be erased. Such a process includes initializing the drive unit for operation without providing a password matching a password stored in the drive unit, initializing the drive unit in a system not having CMOS configuration data matching the drive unit, and determining that a failure rate within the drive unit exceeds a threshold level.

Abstract: A client computer system is provided with two operating systems, one of which is a user operating system (UOS) and the other of which is a service operating system (SOS), and a hypervisor. In the event of a hang in the first operating system, the second operating system remains active, out of the awareness of the user of the system, and has reporting and command response capabilities beyond those of prior technology.

Abstract translation: 客户端计算机系统具有两个操作系统，其中一个是用户操作系统（UOS），另一个是服务操作系统（SOS），以及管理程序。 在第一个操作系统出现故障的情况下，第二个操作系统保持活动状态，不在系统用户的意识之内，并具有超越现有技术的报告和命令响应功能。

Abstract: An arrangement for facilitating remote booting in diskless client systems as just described. To this end, there is broadly contemplated herein the employment of a hypervisor that can freely accommodate a variety of booting arrangements for a given OS. This then ensures that few if any modifications, especially costly ones, would need to be made to the OS to ensure greater versatility.
