Abstract: The collaborative sharing of resources on demand based on proximity, within a group or network of computers. Broadly contemplated herein the “tiling” of a collection of logically adjacent individual graphical desktops in a virtual desktop. In such a setting, the action of dragging a window or icon off of one desktop and onto another would effectively transfer user interactability, and/or perceived ownership of the object, to the desktop where the window or icon graphically “lands”.

Abstract translation: 基于邻近度，在计算机的组或网络内的按需资源的协同共享。 广泛地考虑了虚拟桌面中逻辑上相邻的单独图形桌面的集合的“平铺”。 在这样的设置中，将窗口或图标从一个桌面拖动到另一个桌面上的动作将有效地将用户与物体的交互性和/或感知的所有权转移到窗口或图标以图形方式“登陆”的桌面上。

Abstract: An arrangement for supporting a flat panel display wherein an actuating arrangement responsively alters a physical disposition of the supporting arrangement in a manner to avert physical damage to said flat panel display. Preferably, a flat panel display cover on a laptop will “bow” or arch in a direction away from the flat panel display and the actuating arrangement can be embodied, e.g., by a lattice or grid of wiring, or by a bimetallic sheet. Electronic or mechanical actuation is conceivable and the actuating arrangement can be triggered by, e.g., the imposition of a potentially damaging object and/or by closure of the laptop. While a laptop embodiment is broadly contemplated, other applications are possible.

Abstract: Hypervisors are a new technology in the industry that enable multiple Operating Systems to co-exist on a single client. The use of a hypervisor provides a novel approach to thermal fan control. The hypervisor is able to fire up a maintenance Operating System on demand or have it running from the powering of the computer. The maintenance Operating System continuously monitors the status of the user Operating System and determines if the system is within the desired fan noise profile by measuring noise levels using means well known in the art. If the system seems to be drifting out of the desired profile, the maintenance Operating System will determine what type of action is required and choose the most appropriate course of action. These actions can be performed by either the maintenance Operating System or the hypervisor, as appropriate.

Abstract translation: 管理程序是行业中的一项新技术，可使多个操作系统在单个客户端上共存。 使用管理程序提供了一种新型的风扇控制方法。 管理程序能够根据需要启动维护操作系统，或者从计算机的电源运行。 维护操作系统通过使用本领域熟知的手段测量噪声水平来连续地监视用户操作系统的状态并确定系统是否在期望的风扇噪声分布内。 如果系统似乎从所需的配置文件中漂移出来，维护操作系统将确定需要哪种类型的操作，并选择最合适的操作步骤。 这些操作可以由维护操作系统或管理程序根据需要执行。

Abstract: Peripheral devices are connected to the receptacle of a central processing unit (CPU) or to a hub using an “A” type universal serial bus (USB) connector plug and receptacle that ensures a positive connection regardless of the relative orientation of the two components. This is achieved mechanically, electronically, or through a combination of both. In one embodiment, the receptacle includes a bidirectional backplane that permits electrical contacts within the receptacle to slide or move in a direction that is perpendicular to the linear direction of the connector and its connecting cables. Another option is to use an orientation sensor such as a pressure transducer which serves to detect the orientation of the plug with respect to the receptacle. Another feature is the use of a multi-layer printed circuit board to cross or reverse the pins in the plug, such as D+ to D− and Power to Ground.

Abstract: Systems, methods and products directed toward creating device preloads via employing base and additional operating system content. One aspect includes communicating an aspect of an information handling device, and assimilating additional operating system content at the information handling device responsive to communication of the aspect of the device, the additional operating system content deriving from a repository separate from the information handling device, wherein a base operating system and additional operating system content combine to form a unitary device operating system. Other embodiments are described herein.

Abstract: A method for preventing malicious software from execution within a computer system is disclosed. Before any actual execution of an application program on a computer system, the application program needs to be cross-compiled to yield a set of cross-compiled code of the application program. The set of cross-compiled code of the application program can then be executed in an execution module that is capable of recognizing and translating the set of cross-compiled code of the application program to the actual machine code of the processor.

Abstract: An apparatus for managing a data rate based on an amount of available data for a predetermined time period includes a storage device storing machine-readable code and a processor executing the machine-readable code. The machine-readable code includes a determination module determining a target data rate for data communication over a network by a network device. The target data rate is based on an amount of available data for a predetermined time period and an amount of time remaining in the predetermined time period. The machine-readable code includes a data rate module maintaining the data rate at or below the target data rate in response to the determination module determining the target data rate.
