摘要： An apparatus, system and method of verifying an interface address are provided. A communication device is connected to a network. The apparatus, system and method query the communication device for an interface address identifying the communication device to the network. The apparatus, system, and method further receive the interface address from the communication device and identify an invalid interface address. In one embodiment, the interface address is invalid if it is outside of a specified interface address range. The apparatus, system, and method mitigate the invalid interface address. In one embodiment, the apparatus, system, and method mitigate the invalid interface address by deactivating the network.

摘要： A method and corresponding network interface device for communicating between devices connected to a LAN includes attempting to communicate between the network devices over an initial subset of the network media wires. If the communication fails, a subsequent subset of media wires is selected. The wires of this subsequent subset differ from the wires of the initial subset. If the attempted communication succeeds, the current subset of network media wires is used as the media over which subsequent network data is transmitted. Attempting to communicate over the media may include sending an initialization sequence such as an Ethernet Auto-negotiate sequence. In one embodiment, the network media is implemented as 8 wires of CAT 5 cabling suitable for use with a Gigabit Ethernet. In this embodiment, any subsequent subsets of the network media wires may consist of 4 of the 8 wires over which 100 Mbps Ethernet operation may occur.

摘要翻译： 用于在连接到LAN的设备之间通信的方法和相应的网络接口设备包括尝试在网络媒体线的初始子集之间在网络设备之间进行通信。 如果通信失败，则选择随后的媒体线路子集。 该后续子集的线与初始子集的线不同。 如果尝试的通信成功，则将网络媒体线的当前子集用作传输后续网络数据的媒体。 尝试通过媒体通信可以包括发送诸如以太网自动协商序列之类的初始化序列。 在一个实施例中，网络媒体被实现为适合于与千兆以太网一起使用的CAT 5布线的8线。 在该实施例中，网络媒体线的任何后续子集可以由8条线中的4条组成，其中可能发生100Mbps以太网操作。

摘要： Systems and methods that provide for voice command devices that receive sound but do not transfer the voice data beyond the system unless certain voice-filtering criteria have been met are described herein. In addition, embodiments provide devices that support voice command operation while external voice data transmission is in mute operation mode. As such, devices according to embodiments may process voice data locally responsive to the voice data matching voice-filtering criteria. Furthermore, systems and methods are described herein involving voice command devices that capture sound and analyze it in real-time on a word-by-word basis and decide whether to handle the voice data locally, transmit it externally, or both.

摘要： Arrangements for employing a system BIOS (basic input/output system) to handle email during a suspended state (such as an “S3” state as will be better understood herebelow). Preferably, the BIOS is employed to “jump” between two suspended images such that, e.g., two more powerful OS's can be employed to manage the mail function.

摘要： An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for computer system power management. A control module 602 is activated on a computer 200 in response to an event and enters 818 a standby state if the computer 200 is not already 814 in the standby state. A policy module 604 detects 904 a power source of a predetermined type connected to the computer 200 and dictates 908 one or more processors 302 of higher power consumption for a more abundant type of power source such as an AC adapter 314, or one or more processors 304 of lower power consumption for a less abundant type of power source such as a battery 318. A configuration module 606, activated by the control module 602, switches 1004 the computer 200 to one or more processors 302 and 304 of a predetermined power consumption as dictated and exits 1016 the standby state.

摘要： Methods and arrangements for managing a flash drive, hard disk, or connection between the two, in a manner to ensure that sensitive data is not decrypted at any time when it would be vulnerable. Accordingly, in a first implementation, the data may preferably be encrypted as it first goes into a flash drive and decrypted when it comes out of the flash drive. In another implementation, the flash drive may be logically bound to the hard disk, so that they would both use the same encryption key. In yet another implementation, if a hard disk is moved to another system, then the flash drive may also preferably be simultaneously moved.

摘要： The present invention adds a procedure to the operating system file subsystem of a processing system that significantly reduces the amount of time necessary to verify the validity of executable files. Each executable is extended with a file signature containing a header containing validation data. This header may be added to an existing ELF header, added as a new section, or placed in a file's extended attribute store. The header contains results of all previous validation checks that have been performed. The file signature is inserted, with a date stamp, into the file attributes. On execution, the system checks the previously-created file signature against a current file signature, instead of creating the file signature for every file during the execution process. Checks to ensure that the file signature is secure, and is valid and up to date, are also implemented. Only if the file signature is not valid and up-to-date does the execution program create a new file signature at the time of execution.
