    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer programs for gathering data from business transactions conducted at a point of sale using a portable memory device, like, a removable USB flash memory drive. A customer gathers a plurality of a transaction and electronic receipt files by connecting the portable memory to a computer at the point of sale. Over a period of time, the customer consolidates the files into a second database. In one embodiment, the vendor reads an identification data of the customer from the portable memory and stores in a first database along with business transaction data. In another embodiment, the vendor searches for the electronic receipt in the portable memory for matching product identifier of a returned product to complete a return transaction. The apparatus comprises a portable memory connector with a connecting means for the customer to attach and detach the portable memory at the point of sale.

    Abstract: The invention provides a low density paperboard material and associated method for use in producing an insulated container, and is especially well-suited for making cups. The paperboard material comprises a paperboard web including wood fibers and expanded microspheres, and has a relatively low density ranging from about 6 to about 10 lb/3MSF/mil, a relatively high caliper ranging from about 24 to about 35 mil, and an internal bond strength of at least about 80×10−3 ft-lbf., preferably at least 100×10−3 lft-lbf. For applications such as cups the material is also coated on one or both sides with a barrier coating, preferably low density polyethylene, to limit liquid penetration into the web. The low density paperboard material of the invention is convertible for manufacture of containers, particularly cups, and exhibits insulative properties comparable to higher cost materials conventionally used to make cups. Also, the surface of the low density board may have a Sheffield smoothness of 300 SU or greater compared with the surface smoothness of 160 to 200 SU for conventional cupstock, the latter having been thought necessary for adequate print quality. However, it has been found that the low density board exhibits good printability on flexo printing machines despite its relatively rough surface, which is surprising and bonus effect realized along with the insulative and other properties of the board.

    Abstract: A system for creating, displaying, and editing an intermediate data structure (IDS) that maintains a portion of a categorized data set (CDS) based upon an original set of hierarchically-related objects. A property of the objects is selected. The lowest-level objects matching the selected property are incrementally added to the IDS along with objects in a parent/child relationship with each added lowest-level object so long as those objects are not already within the category of the added lowest-level object. Special category objects are added to the IDS representing an object group with one value of the selected property. Objects stored within the IDS with this value are in a parent relationship with the category object. The objects stored within the IDS are displayed in an outline structure to show the functional relationships between the objects in each category.

    Abstract: Described herein is a system having a multi-host SATA controller (102) configured to provide communication and control between two or more independent host processors (104) and a single SATA device (108). In one implementation, the multi-host SATA controller (102) includes the device switching layer (206), the device control layer (208), the link layer (210), and the physical layer (212). The device switching layer (206) allows the host processors (104) to issue commands concurrently rather than in sequential order. For this, the device switching layer (206) has independent set of host device registers (214) corresponding to each of the host processors (104). The device switching layer (206) also has independent DMA engines (216) to perform a command pre-fetching from respective host system memories (105). Further, a command switch engine (220) may arbitrate commands in case both the host processors (104) wish to access the SATA device (108) simultaneously.

    Abstract: Described herein is a system having a multi-host low pin count (LPC) controller (100) configured to facilitate sharing of common peripheral devices by multiple hosts (115) of a multi-host computing system (110). In one implementation, the multi-host LPC controller (100) interfaces with the hosts (115) via an ON-chip bus or an LPC-IN-chip bus. Further, the multi-host LPC controller (100) includes a LPC-IN controller (160) and a microcontroller (155) to moderate among requests generated by the hosts (115). The requests can be target accesses, DMA accesses, and BM accesses. Also, the multi-host LPC controller (100) is configured to operate in a software mode and an auto mode. Based on the mode the multi-host LPC controller (100) is operating in, the requests generated by the various hosts are moderated.

    Abstract: The present subject matter discloses methods and systems of sharing of peripheral devices in multi host computing systems (100). In one implementation, the method of sharing a peripheral device (116) amongst a plurality of hosts of the multi-host computing system (100) comprises receiving a request to switch the peripheral device (116) from a first operating system running on a first host from amongst the plurality of hosts to a second operating system running on a second host from amongst the plurality of hosts; generating a request for the first operating system to relinquish control of the peripheral device (116); determining the status of the relinquishment based on response generated by the first operating system; initiating a request for the second operating system to install a device driver for the peripheral device (116) upon determining successful relinquishment; and transferring ownership of the peripheral device (116) to the second operating system.
