A method of applying content and a data encoding pattern 18 to a product 10 comprises: applying the content 14 to a substrate 12; modifying the reflectivity of the content 14 at a predetermined wavelength; and applying the pattern 18 to the product, wherein the method is such that the pattern can be distinguished from the content at the predetermined wavelength.

A method and apparatus for producing a document having human-readable content and a position identifying encoding pattern. A printer places text or other content onto a substrate, such as paper, and a filter material application system applies transparent filter material to at least a portion of that content to only modify the reflectivity of the content at a predetermined wavelength. Because the reflectivity of the position identifying encoding pattern remains unchanged, it is distinguishable from the content and can be read at the predetermined wavelength. The position identifying pattern can take a number of forms including a number of dots printed at predetermined positions on the substrate on an imaginary grid.

A method of filling in a form comprising using a digital pen to enter data into data entry areas of the form (64), and providing error feedback to the user (69) contemporaneously with filling in the form, said error feedback being indicative of the user entering a non-allowable entry in said data entry area.

Methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture to secure non-volatile memory regions are disclosed. An example method disclosed herein comprises associating a first key pair and a second key pair different than the first key pair with a process, using the first key pair to secure a first region of a non-volatile memory for the process, and using the second key pair to secure a second region of the non-volatile memory for the same process, the second region being different than the first region.

One embodiment is main memory that includes a combination of non-volatile memory (NVM) and dynamic random access memory (DRAM). An operating system migrates data between the NVM and the DRAM.
摘要:
Upon an intermediary device on a network being turned on, controlling system software at the intermediary device is booted such that no public network address is ever assigned to the intermediary device. The intermediary device sends a boot message over the network to central authority software running on one or more first computing devices on the network. The central authority software in response sends messages over the network to the intermediary device and to a second computing device on the network to establish a private tunnel with one another. The intermediary device and the second computing device establish the private tunnel with one another over the network. The intermediary device then opens a remote connection to the second computing device through the private tunnel so that peripherals connected to the intermediary device as if they were directly connected to the second computing device.

One example embodiment is a method that simulates a sampling period of an application to collect execution counts of basic blocks and compute cycles per instruction (CPI) data. A non-sampling period of the application is simulated to collect execution counts of basic blocks, and a comparison of the execution counts collected during the sampling period is performed to the execution counts collected during the non-sampling period. Based on the comparison, a determination is made whether to estimate CPI for the basic blocks during the non-sampling period using the CPI data collected during the sampling period.
摘要:
A method for simulating a system normally performs functional simulation of the system without performing timing simulation of the system. The method dynamically samples the functional simulation of the system at intervals to determine whether the functional simulation has entered into a new phase. Where the functional simulation has entered into a new phase, the method performs both the functional simulation and the timing simulation of the system for one or more intervals.

摘要:
Instructions to be executed on a system are simulated. Representative simulation phases of the instructions, which most affect simulation results of the instructions to be executed on the system, are dynamically determined. For each representative simulation phase of the instructions, a model is selected from a number of models that provides specified accuracy with a minimal amount of simulation time, and the representative simulation phase is simulated using the model selected. The simulation results for the instructions to be executed on the system are then output.
