摘要： Techniques described herein describe a dynamic time weighted network identification and/or fingerprinting method. A method includes identifying one or more machines connected to a network of machines; performing an address resolution procedure on each of the one or more machines to determine one or more machine specific identifiers associated with each of the one or more machines; and applying a dynamic weighting to each identified machine on the network of machines as a function of a determined transience of each identified machine.

摘要： Techniques described herein describe a proxy used in an instant messaging system. The proxy, upon receiving an instant message (IM) from a first mobile device and addressed to a second mobile device, dynamically determines whether, and for how long to store the IM on a local proxy. Otherwise the IM is forwarded to a server.

摘要： A computer with scalable performance level components and selectable software and service options has a user interface that allows individual performance levels to be selected. The scalable performance level components may include a processor, memory, graphics controller, etc. Software and services may include word processing, email, browsing, database access, etc. To support a pay-per-use business model, each selectable item may have a cost associated with it, allowing a user to pay for the services actually selected and that presumably correspond to the task or tasks being performed. An administrator may use a similar user interface to set performance levels for each computer in a network, allowing performance and cost to be set according to a user's requirements.

摘要： Described is a technology by which files that are hardware protected on a storage device, such as a USB flash drive, are managed on a host, including by integration with an existing file system. Each file maintained on a storage device is associated with a protection attribute that corresponds to that file's device hardware protection level. Requests directed towards accessing metadata or actual file data are processed based upon the protection attribute and a state of authentication, e.g., to allow or deny access, show file icons along with their level of protection, change levels, and so forth. Also described is splitting a file system file table into multiple file tables, one file table for each level of protection. Entries in the split file tables are maintained based on each file's current level; space allocation tracking entries are also maintained to track the space used by other split tables.

摘要： A computer that self-administers operating in restricted and unrestricted operating modes boots from a main processor and operates normally in the unrestricted operating mode and operates from an alternate processor in a security module in the restricted operating mode. The alternate processor may communicate directly with peripheral devices such as a display controller and keyboard. Because the main processor is not used and may not even be started in the restricted operating mode, viruses, shims, and other related attacks are virtually eliminated. In one embodiment, the security module may operate as a PCI bus master when in the restricted operating mode.

摘要： A host device comprises a configurable connector. The host device connector can be connected to a configurable connector of an accessory device. The host device can select connector functions to be enabled for connecting to the accessory device connector. The selection of connector functions can be based on accessory device information such as accessory device power consumption, power configuration and application information. The accessory device can exclude connector functions supported by the accessory device from the list of accessory device functions sent to the host device. The accessory device can exclude connector functions based on information about the host and connector devices. Single or mutual authentication can be performed before connection functions are enabled at either device. Host and accessory devices can require that a host device be licensed to use an accessory device connector function or to gain access to accessory device resources. Tiered licensing policies can be supported.

摘要： A host device comprises a controller and a connector. The host connector comprises fixed-function and multi-function pins. A first group of host connector pins comprises one or more of the fixed-function pins and a second group of pins comprises the remainder of the fixed-function pins and the multi-function pins. The host connector can be releasably attached to a connector of an accessory device. The first group of host connector pins can be used to discover the functions of the accessory connector. The host device can select functions to be enabled at the host and accessory connectors from among the functions mutually supported by the two connectors. The host can enable the selected functions at the host connector and can instruct the accessory to enable the selected functions at the accessory connector. The host can reconfigure host connector functions in response to a different accessory being attached to the host.

摘要： A method of managing software issues includes receiving issue data from a remote host, where the issue data is related to an issue associated with a software application installed on the remote host. The method identifies a potential solution for the issue and sends solution data to the remote host, where the solution data is related to the identified potential solution. Feedback data may be received from the remote host, where the feedback data is indicative of a degree to which the identified potential solution was effective in resolving the issue.

摘要： Described is a technology by which a single physical storage device such as a USB flash memory device is able to boot different computing devices via corresponding different operating systems. The storage device includes a selection mechanism that determines which virtual disk (corresponding to a LUN) is seen by the host as the currently active LUN having sector 0, and therefore is the boot disk. The selection mechanism also may select which (if any) other LUNs are visible to the host. The selection mechanism and accompanying indicator may be operated when the storage device is disconnected, e.g., via manual switches and/or LEDs, buttons and/or a display (e.g., via internal power). Also described is allowing each LUN to have a user-friendly name.
