摘要： Methods and apparatus to protect a protocol interface are described herein. In an example method, a driver request is received during an operation phase of firmware in a processor system. The driver request may be identified as a request associated with a violating condition of the protocol interface. Accordingly, the driver request is rejected.

摘要： A method and system to provide platform-based optimization routines by firmware of a computer system. During a pre-boot phase of a computer system, the firmware identifies one or more hardware devices, such as a central processing unit (CPU) or chipset, of a computer system. The firmware determines an optimized routine library for the one or more hardware devices from a set of optimized routine libraries. The firmware advertises the optimized routine library corresponding to the one or more hardware devices to the computer system for use by an operating system or application. In one embodiment, the firmware of the computer system operates in accordance with the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) framework standard.

摘要： A computer system and program product for building a server according to specifications. There are a multiplicity of program objects to install a respective multiplicity of programs on the server. First program instructions determine a plurality of the program objects which currently have prerequisite software and parameters for their respective applications. Second program instructions concurrently invoke the plurality of program objects. At least one of the plurality of program objects, after execution, invokes another of the program objects, supplying a prerequisite parameter for the other program object.

摘要： A method of constituting a home automation network comprises bidirectional elements such as actuators (A1, A2, A3), at least unidirectional control elements (C1, C2, C3, S1) and bidirectional control elements (C60, C70, C800). It consists in lastingly functionally linking up at least two elements. The process is characterized in that the lasting functional linkup brings about at least one transfer from a bidirectional element to another bidirectional element of at least one information creating a hierarchical relationship between these two elements.

摘要： A method and apparatus for preventing harmful transients resulting from a probing routine for a valid powered device detection signature in a network, the method comprising: operating power sourcing equipment to provide via its output port a pre-detection output voltage; obtaining an indication of the pre-detection output voltage; comparing the indication of the pre-detection output voltage with a pre-determined value; and in the event that the indication of the pre-detection output voltage is less than the pre-determined value; initiating a probing routine for a valid powered device detection signature. The higher voltage of the probing routine is thus not present at the output port in the absence of pre-detection of a potentially valid powered device detection signature.

摘要： A method for the configuration of network elements includes initially configuring a network element via a controller. The controller characterizes (learns) the configuration steps as a series of menu driven screen commands associated with the network element and processes subsequent substantially similar configuration requests for the network element and other network elements of the network using the characterized series of menu driven screen commands to execute the subsequent configuration requests. As such, the configuration and set-up of new network element(s) or the subsequent modifications to the configuration of existing network element(s), are vastly simplified processes. The present invention advantageously reduces the number of needed manually input parameters, thus making the configuration of network elements more reliable.

摘要： An apparatus which reduces energy consumption in a wireless client interface by decreasing the amount of time the wireless client interface spends in the awake state and which increases the amount of time it spends in the sleep state. The apparatus comprises: at least one processor for running software configured to communicate with at least one wireless client. The software is configured to: alert the wireless client of the configuration of the apparatus; use a memory space for buffering network application data destined for the wireless client; and release the network application data to the wireless client, based on at least one occurrence of a specified condition that promotes energy savings.

摘要： A computer network system in which an IP address is assigned not only automatically at a destination of a notebook size PC (portable personal computer) 4, but also information relating to shared resources on the network is obtained at the site from a server 1 through a LAN circuit 2, so that the notebook size PC 4 can be used by connecting to the network even in the absence of the administrator. Henceforth, when the user moves within the same building as his own office, it seems that the occasion of using the portable personal computer by connecting to the network such as the Internet and intranet increases. In such a case, connection and disconnection of the network may be repeated frequently, and setting for such operation is facilitated.
