The time-range attribute is enforced by zone server software and enhances security by, for example, limiting access to sensitive data to specified times. In another embodiment, an incremental zoneset activation protocol is implemented where a hash of a zoneset is created by a switch updating the zoneset and the hash and ID of the switch updating the zoneset are sent to all other switches in the fabric when the zoneset is propagated.

Each switch checks a received hash and switch ID against its stored hash and switch ID to assure that the stored local zoneset is the same as the target zoneset before applying the incremental change. | 2011-01-27 |

In a first embodiment where a triggering element is embedded in a network socket, a user is allowed to trigger it to control a processor on the network device to set network parameters. In a second embodiment, the invention can trigger the triggering element to control the processor on the network device. In a third embodiment, the invention sends a triggering signal to the triggering element for controlling electronic elements other than the network device. Therefore, the invention can achieve the effects of network settings of the network device, processor controls, and convenience in controlling other electronic elements. | 2011-01-27 |
20110022736 | METHODS AND APPARATUS DYNAMIC MANAGEMENT OF MULTIPLEXED PHYS IN A SERIAL ATTACHED SCSI DOMAIN - Methods and systems for automatically, dynamically reconfiguring multiplexing functions of a PHY of a SAS device in response to monitored performance of the PHY and/or in response to changes in configuration of devices in the SAS domain. A SAS device such as a SAS initiator or a SAS expander in a SAS domain may monitor performance of PHYs of the device to detect bandwidth utilization and may reconfigure multiplexing functions of a PHY to improve bandwidth utilization of the PHYs of the device. The device may also detect changes in the topology of the SAS domain such as addition of new devices or removal of device and adjust multiplexing functions of its PHYs accordingly to improve performance of communications in the SAS domain. | 2011-01-27 |
20110022737 | DEVICE CONTROL METHOD AND DEVICE SELECTING APPARATUS - A device control method which enables selection of a function of a USB device supporting multiple functions is provided. The device control method includes steps of obtaining device information from a USB device, determining, based on the obtained device information, whether command processing to issue a command to the USB device in order to detect functions of the USB device is required or not, performing the command processing if the command processing is determined to be required, creating device list information in which information on the functions of the USB device is listed based on both the obtained device information and a result of the command processing, and storing the device list information in a memory area. | 2011-01-27 |
20110022738 | DESIGN METHOD FOR A DMA-COMPATIBLE PERIPHERAL - The invention relates to a method for organizing the registers of a peripheral in memory, the peripheral including at least one control register to be addressed in memory to store configuration data of the peripheral, one transmission register to be addressed in memory to store data to be transmitted from the memory to the peripheral, and one reception register to be addressed in memory to store data to be transmitted from the peripheral to the memory, the method including: duplicating, within a data memory range, the transmission/reception register to different contiguous addresses; and implementing in memory the control registers at contiguous addresses at the level of a memory range adjacent to the memory range where the transmission/reception register has been duplicated. | 2011-01-27 |
20110022739 | FAST HDMI SWITCHING WITH CONDITIONAL RESET MECHANISM - Various exemplary embodiments relate to a High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) switch configured to receive notification of a switch from a current HDMI source to a new HDMI source, determine whether the new HDMI source is actively transmitting data, has attempted to access an HDCP register before a predetermined timeout delay since a last HDCP register access, and is transmitting unencrypted data, and based on these determinations, either immediately begin transmission of the HDMI data received from the new source or reset the new HDMI source. In this manner, various exemplary embodiments enable switching between HDMI sources with a reduced delay. | 2011-01-27 |
20110022740 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DATA TRANSFER USING ATA INTERFACE - An ATA compatible data transfer system includes a system processor having system memory, the system processor configured to issue a Programmable I/O (PIO) type command to effect data transfer between a peripheral device and the system memory through a host controller and an ATA controller. The host controller accesses data to/from the host memory directly. The host controller and the ATA controller complete data transfer between the peripheral device and the system memory by executing the PIO type command without requiring interrupt servicing by the system processor. | 2011-01-27 |
20110022741 | RECORDING AND/OR REPRODUCING APPARATUS - A recording and/or reproducing apparatus includes a plurality of devices in which a first device has a connecting unit connected with a host device to perform a data transfer with the host device, a second device shares a temporarily recording area with the first device to perform the data transfer between the first and second devices via the temporarily recording area, and the data transfer is performed by using the temporarily recording area shared with the first device and using the connecting unit of the first device when the second device performs the data transfer with the host device, in this way, a power consumption is reduced. | 2011-01-27 |
20110022742 | Processor and data transfer method - A processor. In response to requests from a processing section, first and second memory controllers transfer first and second data items to the processing section via first and second buses, respectively. When transfers of the data items are concurrently performed via the first and second buses, one of the data items is transferred to the processing section by the buffer controller, and the other of the data items is stored in the buffer by the buffer controller. Then, after termination of transfer of the one of the data items, the other data item is transferred from the buffer to the processing section by the buffer controller. | 2011-01-27 |
