| 20120136888 | System and Method for Mapping Platform Configuration Human Interface Infrastructure Data to System Attributes for Local and Remote System Management - A first portion of a Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) configuration language string is determined, the first portion identifying an Human Interface Infrastructure (HII) configuration attribute. A second portion of the string is determined and includes a first attribute modifier. The first attribute modifier includes a first name-value pair identifying a first name and a first value. The first name and the first value are individually parsable, and the meaning of the first value is determined based on the first name. The string is stored at a HII string package of an HII database. An HII string identifier uniquely references the string. | 05-31-2012 |
| 20120137112 | System and Method for Expressing Platform Configuration Dependencies for Local and Remote System Management - A computer implemented method includes identifying a first question that is associated with an object at an information handling system. The first question represents an opportunity to select a first configuration setting having a first value. A second question associated with the object is identified, the second question representing an opportunity to select a second configuration setting having a second value. The method further includes determining that relevance of the second question depends on the first value. A first dependency modifier is associated with the second question based on determining the relevance. The first dependency modifier identifies the first question, the first value, and an action keyword. The action keyword identifies a first action to be associated with a presentation of the second question. | 05-31-2012 |

| 20100131790 | INTELLIGENT AND ADAPTIVE METHOD TO MANAGE MOBILE DEVICE POWER - The invention relates to systems and or methodologies for intelligent and adaptive power management in mobile devices. A peripheral power management component can set peripheral devices to active or inactive based on one or more schemas. The schemas can be predetermined or generated by the peripheral power management component. In addition, an adaptive component can modify the schemas to reflect actual usage or changing trends for each peripheral device. | 05-27-2010 |

| 20090054045 | Device and Method for Warm Boot Persistence - A mobile device comprises a volatile memory and a processor. The volatile memory is partitioned into first and second storage spaces. The first storage space stores a first data while the second storage space stores a second data. The processor detects a value. The value indicates that the volatile memory is to be partitioned so that a driver for the volatile memory creates the first and second storage spaces. The second data is persisted during a warm reboot of the mobile device. | 02-26-2009 |

| 20090248763 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RECLAIMING UNUSED SPACE FROM A THINLY PROVISIONED DATA CONTAINER - A method for operating a computer storage system maintains a client computer interacting with the storage system, the client computer storing data on a data storage device of the computer storage system. Locating, by a client-side agent executing on the client computer that examines metadata of the client computer, one or more sets of blocks allocated and then deleted, hereinafter referred to as deleted blocks, within the computer storage system. Sending a command to the storage system, the command to identify the deleted blocks within the computer storage system. Deallocating, in response to receiving the command, the identified deleted blocks within the computer storage system. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20100115126 | AUTOMATED CONVERSION OF VERSIONED DATA COLLECTIONS - Various computing components (such as devices, operating environments, and processes) may communicate by exchanging instances of a data collection, such as a class or data structure. However, the definition of the data collection may evolve to specify different numbers, types, properties, and orderings of the items in the data collection, and it may be difficult to verify the structure and contents of an instance received from another component and possibly of a different version. This difficulty may be mitigated by exchanging versioning information about the instance (e.g., as part of the communications wire protocol) and by allocating the converting such that the sender may downconvert to earlier versions requested by a recipient, while the recipient may upconvert to later versions than a version provided by a sender. These techniques may promote the accuracy and consistency of information exchange among many components that operate on different versions of the data collection. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20120079195 | SINGLE NODENAME CLUSTER SYSTEM FOR FIBRE CHANNEL - A system and method provides a single system image for a clustered storage network including techniques for processing data access commands between storage appliances over the cluster interconnect. The system is configured such that the cluster is assigned a single world wide nodename. Requests coming to the cluster from client initiators are directed to one or the storage appliances in the cluster, i.e. the “receiving” storage appliance. Commands received by the receiving storage appliance are examined to determine LUN value(s) in the request. If the LUN value is associated with a local storage device, the request is processed by the receiving storage appliance. If the LUN value is not associated with the receiving storage appliance, the request is conveyed over the cluster interconnect to the partner storage appliance to be processed and the appropriate data written or retrieved. | 03-29-2012 |

| 20100226267 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING ACCESS DURING INTER-TECHNOLOGIES HANDOFF - A system and method for determining an initial mean open loop power level of a pilot channel of a reverse traffic channel for a mobile terminal. The initial open loop power level enables handoff of an active call from a first access network to a second access network. A handoff initialization request is from the first access network. A mean received power level of the forward link of the second access network is measured and transmitted to the second access network. An open loop power adjustment factor is received from the second access network. The initial mean open loop power level is set based on the open loop power adjustment factor. | 09-09-2010 |
| 20110007856 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REDUCED SYSTEM-TIME OVERHEAD PARAMETER LENGTH REPRESENTATION FOR INTER-RADIO ACCESS TECHNOLOGY COMMUNICATION - A wireless access terminal, system and method for the wireless access terminal to synchronize to system times in a wireless communication system. A first timing hierarchy in a first wireless communication network is used to operate the wireless access terminal. The first wireless communication network has a first radio access technology. Operating with the first timing hierarchy includes determining a frame cycle for the first wireless communication network. The frame cycle has a frame cycle boundary. Broadcast parameters for a second wireless communication network having a second radio access technology different from the first radio access technology are received. The broadcast parameters include the system time of the second wireless communication network. The system time of second wireless communication network is aligned, from the perspective of the wireless access terminal, with the frame cycle boundary. The wireless access terminal engages in a communication session using the second wireless communication network. | 01-13-2011 |
