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: 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.
