Abstract: Apparatus and methods for cableless connection of components within chassis and between separate chassis. Pairs of Extremely High Frequency (EHF) transceiver chips supporting very short length millimeter-wave wireless communication links are configured to pass radio frequency signals through holes in one or more metal layers in separate chassis and/or frames, enabling components in the separate chassis to communicate without requiring cables between the chassis. Various configurations are disclosed, including multiple configurations for server chassis, storage chassis and arrays, and network/switch chassis. The EHF-based wireless links support link bandwidths of up to 6 gigabits per second, and may be aggregated to facilitate multi-lane links.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, a document processing unit may receive information associated with a document to be processed. The document processing unit might comprise, for example, a printer, scanner, copier, facsimile machine, or multi-function device. The document processing unit may then automatically analyze the received information in view of at least one pre-determined document policy. The document processing unit may then automatically determine, based on the analysis, whether to apply a policy action, associated with the pre-determined document policy, to the processing of the document. For example, the document processing unit might prevent a document from printing.

Abstract: Mobile computing device technology and systems and methods using the same are described herein. In particular, mobile computing devices that may serve as a processing component of a disaggregated computing system described, non-integral screens that may be paired with the mobile computing devices, and systems and methods using such devices and screens are described. In some embodiments, the mobile computing device technology includes a mobile computing device that lacks an integral screen, but which is capable of throwing at least video information to a non-integral target screen, e.g., via a paired connection established over a wired or wireless communication interface.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for rack level pre-installed interconnect for enabling cableless server, storage, and networking deployment. Plastic cable waveguides are configured to couple millimeter-wave radio frequency (RF) signals between two or more Extremely High Frequency (EHF) transceiver chips, thus supporting millimeter-wave wireless communication links enabling components in the separate chassis to communicate without requiring wire or optical cables between the chassis. Various configurations are disclosed, including multiple configurations for server chassis, storage chassis and arrays, and network/switch chassis. A plurality of plastic cable waveguide may be coupled to applicable support/mounting members, which in turn are mounted to a rack and/or top-of-rack switches. This enables the plastic cable waveguides to be pre-installed at the rack level, and further enables racks to be installed and replaced without requiring further cabling for the supported communication links.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, a document processing unit may receive information associated with a document to be processed. The document processing unit might comprise, for example, a printer, scanner, copier, facsimile machine, or multi-function device. The document processing unit may then determine a user identifier indicating a user associated with the document to be processed. At least one user preference value associated with the user may then be automatically retrieved, and the document may be processed in accordance with the user preference value.

Abstract: Systems and methods of operating a computing system may involve utilizing an interactive physical event between a client device and a target printer to unambiguously select the target printer. In one example, upon such an interactive event, a mutual identification method may be implemented between the client device and the target printer, followed by creation of a secure point-to-point communication link over which a print request may be executed.

Abstract: Systems and methods of operating a computing system may involve utilizing an graphics engine to complete a print request. Upon receiving a request to print a scheduling management application may direct an application programming interface call to the graphics engine, and the graphics engine may process a print imaging instruction.

The document processing unit might comprise, for example, a printer, scanner, copier, facsimile machine, or multi-function device. The document processing unit may then automatically analyze the received information in view of at least one pre-determined archive policy. The document processing unit may then automatically determine, based on the analysis, whether to apply a policy action, associated with the pre-determined archive policy, to the processing of the document. For example, the document processing unit might automatically store a copy of the document in an archive.

Abstract: Systems and methods of operating a computing system may involve providing a native format drier to a print client in order to print a document. In one example, a print document communication including a print document in native format may be transmitted to the target printer, and the print document may be converted from the native format to a target printer format at the target printer.

In one example, the method may include verifying an operating environment of the target printer and generating a plurality of security keys to implement asymmetric encryption of the print document.

Abstract: Systems and methods of operating a computing system may involve providing a printer driver to a print client in order to print a document. In one example, a request to print a document is initiated, wherein it is determined that a driver for a selected printer is not installed on the print client. Upon such a determination, a driver for the target printer may be located, transmitted to the print client, and installed on the print client.
