摘要： 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.

摘要翻译： 在BIOS中发出“setmax”命令，以在正常操作期间隐藏HDD的服务区（HPA），使得HPA无法被用户或病毒无意中访问或擦除。 在启动过程中按特殊键（例如F11），可以访问HPA。

摘要： A method, computer program product and system for enabling a client device in a client device/data center environment to resume from sleep state more quickly. The resource in the server blade used for suspending the activity of the computing state of the client device in order to enter the client device in a sleep state is not reallocated for a period of time. If the client device indicates to the server blade to resume the client device from sleep state prior to the ending of that period of time, then the server blade reinitializes the computing state using the same resource as used in suspending the computing state of the client device. By using the same resource, steps traditionally implemented in resuming the client device from sleep state are avoided thereby reducing the time in resuming the client device from sleep state.

摘要： The boot-time required for a log-on to a desktop blade system is improved, and a more streamlined process for performing maintenance operations, such as software updates, across an enterprise desktop blade system is facilitated. All activities being performed by a user are cached, in an off-blade storage location, on an ongoing basis. The caching is performed using “divided caching”, that is, different elements of the user image are stored in different locations. The specific divisions utilized are based upon classifications of the information to be cached, e.g., a first class of information used by all users of the system; a second class of information utilized by a certain class of users; a third class of information utilized only by a particular individual, etc.

摘要： A system and method that restores a computer system is provided. An image is created of a primary drive that includes an operating system and one or more applications. A copy of the image is stored on a second nonvolatile storage area. In one embodiment, the second nonvolatile storage area is a hidden partition of a hard drive. Patches are received for the operating system and the applications and applied to the corresponding operating system or applications. A copy of the patch files is stored in the second nonvolatile storage area. When the system is restored, the primary drive is reformatted and the image stored on the second nonvolatile storage area is copied to the primary drive. The patches stored on the second nonvolatile storage area are then applied to the operating system and applications included in the image that was copied to the primary drive.

摘要： A method and system for enabling security attestation for a computing device during a return from an S4 sleep state. When the computing device enters into the S4 state following a successful boot up, the attestation log is appended to the TPM tick count and the log is signed (with a security signature). When the device is awaken from S4 state, the BIOS obtains and verifies the log created during the previous boot. The CRTM maintains a set of virtual PCRs and references these virtual PCRs against the log. If the values do not match, the return from S4 state fails and the device is rebooted.

摘要： Systems, methods and media for providing access to a network are disclosed. More particularly, hardware and/or software for providing network access only to client computer systems with acceptable status information are disclosed. Embodiments include a method that generally includes receiving a request for a network address from a client computer system via a network and determining whether the status of the requesting client computer system is acceptable. In the event that the status of the client computer system is determined to be acceptable, the method also generally includes assigning and transmitting a network address to the client computer system. In some embodiments, the status of the client computer system may include information about the system configuration, installed software, presence of files such as virus files, etc.

摘要： A method and system for defining every operation required of a client PC before being authorized to obtain an IP address that will enable the client PC to join a network serviced by specified DHCP servers. Each successful operation generates a value that is stored on a pre-determined location on the client PC's hard drive. A hash is created from all of the stored values, and after being encrypted, the hash is sent to the DHCP server when requesting an IP address. The DHCP server has a hash string indicative of the required status of operations that should be performed by any client PC requesting an IP address to join the network serviced by the DHCP server. If the DHCP's has string does not match with the hash sent by the client PC, then the DHCP server will not provide the requisite IP address to the client PC.

摘要翻译： 一种方法和系统，用于定义客户端PC所需的每个操作，然后再被授权获取一个IP地址，使客户端PC能够加入由指定的DHCP服务器所服务的网络。 每个成功的操作都会生成一个存储在客户端计算机硬盘驱动器的预定位置上的值。 从所有存储的值创建哈希，并且在加密之后，在请求IP地址时将哈希发送到DHCP服务器。 DHCP服务器具有表示应该由任何客户端PC请求IP地址加入DHCP服务器所服务的网络的操作所需状态的哈希字符串。 如果DHCP的字符串与客户端PC发送的哈希字符串不匹配，则DHCP服务器将不会向客户端PC提供必要的IP地址。

摘要： A system and method for concurrent WLAN and WPAN wireless modes from a single device is presented. A client uses a Wi-Fi device's infrastructure mode to communicate in a WLAN environment and, during idle WLAN times, uses the Wi-Fi device's adhoc mode to communicate in a WPAN environment. The Wi-Fi device uses a watchdog timer to switch between infrastructure mode and adhoc mode. When the client's Wi-Fi device switches to infrastructure mode, the client's Wi-Fi device uses an infrastructure register and an infrastructure device driver to transfer data over the WLAN environment. Likewise, when the client's Wi-Fi device switches to adhoc mode, the client's Wi-Fi device uses an adhoc register and an adhoc device driver to transfer data over the WLAN environment. The client uses a code shim to act as a virtual device driver at times when either the infrastructure device driver or the adhoc device driver is inactive.

摘要翻译： 提出了一种用于从单个设备并发WLAN和WPAN无线模式的系统和方法。 客户端使用Wi-Fi设备的基础架构模式在WLAN环境中进行通信，并且在空闲WLAN时间期间，使用Wi-Fi设备的自组织模式在WPAN环境中进行通信。 Wi-Fi设备使用看门狗定时器在基础设施模式和自适应模式之间切换。 当客户端的Wi-Fi设备切换到基础架构模式时，客户端的Wi-Fi设备使用基础结构寄存器和基础架构设备驱动程序通过WLAN环境传输数据。 同样，当客户端的Wi-Fi设备切换到自适应模式时，客户端的Wi-Fi设备会使用adhoc寄存器和adhoc设备驱动程序通过WLAN环境传输数据。 在基础设施设备驱动程序或自组织设备驱动程序处于非活动状态时，客户端会使用代码填充作为虚拟设备驱动程序。

摘要： A data processing network configuration includes a server and an access point wired to a network and a mobile system wirelessly connected to the access point. The access point receives and stores a request to retrieve information from the mobile system. The mobile system, when in a powered down state, powers its wireless network adapter periodically to poll the access point to discover the stored request for information. The mobile system responds to discovery of the stored request by retrieving the requested information from nonvolatile storage of the mobile system and transmitting the requested information via the wireless network adapter while otherwise remaining powered down. The information request may be a system management request and the request packet may include a Media Access Control (MAC) address repeated multiple times. The access point stores pending requests in a table having an entry for each associated mobile system.
