    摘要: A method for restarting a processor-based system is disclosed. The basic input/output system (BIOS) firmware for performing the restart may or may not reside on the processor-based system. Where the local BIOS firmware is corrupt or not present, remote BIOS firmware is loaded into the processor cache by a specialized network interface card. The network interface card includes direct cache access (DCA) functionality, enabling it to store packets retrieved from the network directly into the processor cache, for faster processing. Remote downloading of the BIOS firmware from the network solves on-platform flash corruption within the processor-based system without costly board rework. Other benefits include mitigating the misappropriation of BIOS and chipset intellectual property, improved restart performance of the processor-based system, as well as improvement in chipset validation. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    摘要: Embodiments of techniques and systems for sharing user information between proximate devices are described. In embodiments, a first device may identify a physically-proximate device that may receive user information. Upon receiving an indication that a user of the first device may desire to share user information with a user of the second device, a determination may be made as to whether the two users have matching interests. In embodiments, the interest match determination may be made by a separate interest match evaluator. Upon determination of an interest match, the first device may then send a request to share user information to the second device. If a user of the second device approves the request, user information for the user of the first device may be shared with the user of the second device. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

    摘要: The present invention is a method and system of exchanging data between client computers and a server in a P2P network, wherein the server acts as a client in a pure P2P network and client computers exchange data from the servers. Further, the present invention uses thin client software installed at the client computers and it contacts the server to either download data or get a streaming media file. The present invention provides a reduction in complexity for a client computer in a Peer-to-Peer network system through reduced functionality and load at the client computer.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method of rendering telecommunication devices ineffective by creating a substantially radio frequency radiation-free environment. An interference generating pattern is provided adjacent the environment in a position between the environment and a source of radio frequency radiation signals so as to substantially reduce, or interfere with such signals thus preventing typical operation of the telecommunications devices therein. Preferably, the interference generating pattern is provided by applying silicon carbide as a coating or as part of a building material onto a structure to reduce attenuation by at least 20 to 50 decibels. Other aspects of the invention include the building materials that have the interference generating pattern associated therewith and the substantially radio frequency radiation-free environments that are created according to the methods disclosed herein.

    摘要: A method and apparatus (3, 60, 202, 300) for measuring the dynamic, or alternating current, and static, or direct current, characteristics of a cable pair (2, 10, 24, 133) from one end, the local end, by utilizing an element (1, 19, 20) possessing known non-linear electrical characteristics connected across the other end, the remote end, together with methods and apparatus (30, 111) for connecting the non-linear element (1) across the remote end of the cable pair (2, 10, 24, 133) and disconnecting the non-linear element 11) by means of electrical voltages impressed across the cable pair (2, 10, 24, 133) at the local end. In the method and system of the present invention, the near end test set (3, 60, 202, 300) is electrically transposed to the far end of the cable pair (2, 10, 24, 133) making it appear, to be at the far end during the test while, physically remaining at the near end. The non-linear element (1), in its non-linear region, when suitably excited by two or more alternating signals of different frequencies ( 4, 12, 13, 41, 42, 113, 114), produces additional frequencies which travel back from the far end to the near end of the cable pair (2, 10, 24, 133) and are modified by the characteristics of the cable pair (2, 10, 24, 133). By selecting specific excitation frequencies and measuring the characteristics of the additional frequencies returned (6, 22, 52, 200), the characteristics of the cable (2, 10, 24, 133) can be deduced.
