摘要： An .times.86 based computer system that implements a firmware based boot process without an .times.86 BIOS that supports expansion devices coupled to the computer system, wherein the expansion devices include their own respective BIOS extensions. The computer system includes an .times.86 processor coupled to a volatile memory and a non-volatile memory via a bus. The non-volatile memory includes firmware which when executed by the processor cause the computer system to implement the boot process. The firmware initializes device drivers for the computer system and initializes an application programming interface for the device drivers. The firmware then initializes a compatibility component for interfacing with the device drivers, wherein the compatibility component is operable for translating accesses by a first software application to an .times.86 BIOS into corresponding accesses to the device drivers. This enables the first software application to execute on the computer system by using the compatibility component while a second software application is able to execute on the computer system by accessing the application programming interface directly. The firmware then runs an expansion device BIOS extension from an expansion device coupled to the computer system to initialize a memory area in volatile memory. The memory area is configured by the BIOS extension to interface with the expansion device, such that the expansion device is made available to the first application and the second application.

摘要： An x86 based computer system that implements an advanced firmware based boot process without a conventional x86 BIOS. The computer system includes an x86 processor coupled to a volatile memory and a non-volatile memory via a bus, wherein the non-volatile memory includes an advanced firmware. The advanced firmware is executed by the processor to implement a boot sequence. During the boot sequence, the computer system initializes device drivers using the advanced firmware and interfaces with advanced firmware compliant program with the device drivers of the computer system. The computer system also initializes a virtual compatibility machine for supporting legacy software programs. The virtual compatibility machine includes a plurality of compatibility models. The compatibility models function by interfacing with legacy software programs and by translating functions received from the legacy software programs via the compatibility models into corresponding functions performed by the device drivers of the computer system, thus allowing the computer system to run both legacy software programs and advanced firmware compliant software programs natively.

摘要： A system for autonomously photographing wildlife includes a camera apparatus, camera mount and actuating unit. The camera apparatus records video data may include a camera, a memory and a processing system which includes a processor and an image analysis module including computer executable instructions stored in the memory. The image analysis module receives a video data file; performs an image analysis of discrete portions of the video data file; detects motion within each respective discrete portion; determines whether the detected motion is caused by an animal; calculates an outline for the animal; and stores a selected discrete portion of the video data file in the memory. The selected discrete portion includes an outline of the animal. The camera mount receives the camera thereon and the actuating unit couples the camera to the camera mount and is actuatable to tilt and/or pan the camera.

摘要： An elliptic curve random number generator avoids escrow keys by choosing a point Q on the elliptic curve as verifiably random. An arbitrary string is chosen and a hash of that string computed. The hash is then converted to a field element of the desired field, the field element regarded as the x-coordinate of a point Q on the elliptic curve and the x-coordinate is tested for validity on the desired elliptic curve. If valid, the x-coordinate is decompressed to the point Q, wherein the choice of which is the two points is also derived from the hash value. Intentional use of escrow keys can provide for back up functionality. The relationship between P and Q is used as an escrow key and stored by for a security domain. The administrator logs the output of the generator to reconstruct the random number with the escrow key.
