| 20080233792 | Media power protection system and method - A media power protection system comprises a media controller configured to detect a type of media card coupled to a multi-card connector, and a protection circuit configured to selectively enable at least one of a plurality of power supply interfaces of the multi-card connector based on the type of media card. | 09-25-2008 |
| 20080259817 | Media access control (MAC) address management system and method - A media access control (MAC) address management system, comprises logic configured to generate a MAC address for at least one network device of a computing device based on a MAC address of another network device of the computing device. | 10-23-2008 |
| 20080269954 | Electronic device thermal management system and method - An electronic device thermal management system comprising a thermal management controller configured to maintain a temperature level within a housing of an electronic device based on a signal indicative of a temperature of at least a portion of a wall of the housing of the electronic device. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20080270652 | System and method of tamper-resistant control - A method of tamper-resistant configuration control for a system, the method comprising reading a flag from a memory of an electronic device, the flag indicating an enable/disable state of at least one component device of the electronic device, setting a register in memory to a disable state for the at least one component device in response to the flag indicating a disabled state for the at least one component device, and locking the register. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20090037749 | System and method of tamper-resistant control - A method of tamper-resistant control comprising reading a flag of an electronic device with firmware, the flag indicating a provision enable/disable state of the electronic device and provisioning a management processor of the electronic device to facilitate communications between the management processor and a server in response to reading the flag indicating a provision enable/disable state | 02-05-2009 |
| 20090116139 | Hard disk drive protection system and method - A hard disk drive protection system comprises a sensor configured to detect an impending shock event and a hard drive protection module configured to determine whether to issue a fast park command for a hard disk drive in response to detecting the impending shock event based on a permissible quantity of fast park cycles for the hard disk drive. | 05-07-2009 |
| 20110126029 | DISPLAY PANEL POWER PREDICTION - Power consumption data for a first group of brightness settings is stored in a memory. At least a portion of the power consumption data is used to predict power consumption data for a second group of brightness settings. | 05-26-2011 |
| 20110161042 | Hinged Device With Multiple Accelerometers - Apparatus, systems and methods for determining relative spatial orientation of a first member and a second member connected by one or more hinges are provided. A first member having one or more first accelerometers disposed therein can provide a first signal proportionate to the acceleration of the first member along one or more axes. A second member having one or more second accelerometers disposed therein can provide a second signal proportionate to the acceleration of the second member along one or more axes. One or more hinges can pivotably connect the first and second members. A controller can receive the first signal provided by the one or more first accelerometers and the second signal provided by the one or more second accelerometers to calculate the spatial orientation of the first member with respect to the second member. | 06-30-2011 |
