Abstract: A method for updating an embedded device that includes a processor that receives an image file including at least one of kernel software, hardware configuration data, and application software. The embedded device parses the image file to determine portions of the image file that have been indicated by at least one flag as being modified from that currently being included on the embedded device. The embedded device installing at least portions of the image file on the embedded device and resetting portions of the embedded device based upon the at least one flag.

Abstract: A cutting board (10) has a base (12) with a planar cutting surface (14). A fixed fence (16) having first and second ends (18, 20) is provided, the fixed fence (16) being mounted to the planar surface (14) of the base (12). A moveable fence (22), has first and second ends (24, 26), with the first of the moveable fence ends (22) being pivotally attached to the first end (18) of the fixed fence (16).

Abstract: An apparatus (101, 110) and method for channel acquisition in a communication system (100) provides for selecting a channel, from a multiplicity of available channels (205), and determining whether the selected channel is the properly assigned channel for data and other information to be received by the apparatus (101, 110). The selected channel is monitored for a predetermined or adaptive energy level (210), a predetermined modulation mode (215), for a protocol signal, and for a protocol signal having an identification specifying the particular apparatus (225), such as a protocol frame containing a serial number corresponding to the apparatus. When a protocol signal having an identification specifying the particular apparatus (225) is received, the selected channel is acquired (250) for reception of data and other information.
