20100069126 | GENERATING, AT LEAST IN PART, AND/OR RECEIVING, AT LEAST IN PART, AT LEAST ONE REQUEST - In an embodiment, an apparatus is provided that may include circuitry to generate, at least in part, and/or receive, at least in part, at least one request that at least one network node generate, at least in part, information. The information may be to permit selection, at least in part, of (1) at least one power consumption state of the at least one network node, and (2) at least one time period. The at least one time period may be to elapse, after receipt by at least one other network node of at least one packet, prior to requesting at least one change in the at least one power consumption state. The at least one packet may be to be transmitted to the at least one network node. Of course, many alternatives, modifications, and variations are possible without departing from this embodiment. | 03-18-2010 |
20100070652 | Synchronization of multiple incoming network communication streams - A device, method, and computer readable medium are disclosed. In one embodiment the device includes a first network packet storage queue that is capable of storing incoming network packets from a network. The device also includes a second network packet storage queue that is capable of storing incoming network packets from a network. The device also includes flush logic to synchronize a flush of the network packets stored in the first and second network packet storage queues. The flush is triggered by a flush event affecting at least one of the storage queues. | 03-18-2010 |
20100077243 | CONSERVING POWER IN A COMPUTER SYSTEM - A power management unit (PMU) may determine an optimal power saving state using a break-even period of a power saving state and an expected idle duration based on a first policy. The PMU may determine the optimal power saving state using a first break even period and actual idle duration based on a second policy. The break-even period may equal a minimum time a computer system should remain in a power saving state to compensate for the power consumed by the system to enter and exit that power saving state. The expected idle time duration is determined as an average of idle duration and a recent sample of idle duration. The actual idle duration is the difference of a first and second time point that represents entry and exit points to and from the power saving state. The PMU may transition the system to the optimal power saving state. | 03-25-2010 |
20100165896 | Power saving in peer-to-peer communication devices - Apparatuses, systems, methods, and computer program products to save power in peer-to-peer communication devices associated with wireless communication networks are disclosed. Embodiments generally comprise wireless communications devices. A device may associate or connect with an access point and communicate with another device also connected to the access point. The devices may establish a direct link as part of a tunneled direct link system (TDLS) network. After establishing the direct link, the devices may negotiate a wakeup schedule, enabling both devices to enter power saving modes to conserve power. The devices may maintain the direct link while in power saving modes, enabling the devices to periodically exit the power saving modes and transfer buffered data. | 07-01-2010 |

20100246502 | COMBINED DEVICE AND SERVICE DISCOVERY TECHNIQUE IN STATIONS SUPPORTING TUNNELED DIRECT LINK SETUP (TDLS) - A tunneled direct link set-up (TDLS) capable wireless network may comprise a router such as an access point (AP) and a plurality of stations (STA) including service consumer and service provider station. A service consumer station may generate and send a layer- | 09-30-2010 |
20110090844 | DEVICE, SYSTEM AND METHOD OF SELECTIVELY ABORTING RECEPTION OF WIRELESS COMMUNICATION PACKETS - Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and/or methods of selectively aborting reception of wireless communication packets. For example, a receiver may at least partially process a portion of a wireless communication packet, to determine based on the portion of the communication packet whether the packet is intended to be received by the receiver and, if the packet is not intended to be received by the receiver, to abort processing of a remainder of the communication packet by one or more components of a physical layer of the receiver. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 04-21-2011 |
20110154073 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ENERGY EFFICIENT LOAD BALANCING AT SERVER CLUSTERS - Methods and systems to balance the load among a set of processing units, such as servers, in a manner that allows the servers periods of low power consumption. This allows energy efficient operation of the set of processing units. Moreover, the process is adaptable to variations in systemic response times, so that systemic response times may be improved when operational conditions so dictate. | 06-23-2011 |

A service consumer station may generate and send a layer-2 query frame to the plurality of stations. A service provider station may generate a layer-2 service frame in response to receiving the layer-2 query frame. The service consumer station may discover the service provider station and the services offered by the service provider station based on the layer-2 service frame. Also, the service consumer may discover the service provider station using layer-2 query frame and may discover the services offered by the service provider station using higher layer service discovery procedure. | 11-29-2012 |

20140337913 | METHOD, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM FOR ISOLATING A TEMPORARY PARTITION ON A HOST - A method, apparatus and system enable a temporary partition on a host to be isolated. More specifically, a temporary partition may be initialized in a partitioned host, assigned its own security policy and given the necessary resources to complete a task. Thereafter, the temporary partition may be dismantled. Since the temporary partition is isolated from the remaining partitions on the host, the temporary partition may be allowed to run a “weaker” security policy than the rest of the partitions because the isolation of the temporary partition ensures that the security of the remaining partitions may remain uncompromised. | 11-13-2014 |
