Abstract: Devices having corresponding methods and computer-readable media comprise: a host processor, wherein the host processor is configured to execute a host client while the device is in an awake mode, and wherein the host client maintains a network connection while executing; and a network interface controller comprising an embedded processor, wherein the embedded processor is configured to execute an embedded client while the device is in a sleep mode, wherein the embedded client is configured to maintain the network connection while executing.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes techniques and apparatuses for arbitration of time-sensitive data transmissions. In some aspects a start of the first scheduled data transmission may be advanced effective to increase the duration of time between an end of the first scheduled data transmission and a start of a second scheduled data transmission. A non-scheduled data transmission can then be performed during the increased duration of time between the end of the advanced first scheduled data transmission and the start of the second scheduled data transmission.

Abstract: An apparatus comprising a controller. The controller is configured to display a file collection, to receive input indicating a sort option, to search said file collection to find files matching said sort option, and to display said files matching said sorting option in response thereto.

Abstract: An apparatus comprising a controller. The controller is configured to display a collection of representations each corresponding to a tag value and to receive input selecting one or more representations. The controller is further configured to assign a size and/or position of a representation according to a frequency of use and/or a time since last used for said corresponding tag value.
