Abstract: Dynamic network routing in a virtual machine environment. The dynamic network routing includes receiving an indication that a network outage has occurred and receiving a network communication to a guest or from the guest executing on a hypervisor. It is then determined if the guest that is the source or destination for the network communication is configured to use a revised network route. In response to determining that the guest is not configured to use the revised network route, then the transmission of the network communication is prevented and the guest is provided with network routing information. Once the guest has received the updating routing information the transmission of the network communication on the new route is allowed.

Abstract: An apparatus and method of determining a communications mode. An operating condition of a device is monitored to determine if the operating condition satisfies a condition for loss of charging of a power pack of the device. Examples of operating conditions that satisfy a condition for loss of charging of a power pack of the device include determining that a power pack temperature of the power pack exceeds a power reduction temperature threshold and determining that a net electrical current drawn from the power pack exceeds a net charging electrical current delivered to the power pack. In response to determining that an operating condition of a device satisfies a condition for loss of charging of a power pack of the device, a wireless communications mode of the device is switched from a first mode to a second mode, where the second mode consumes less energy than the first mode.

Abstract: A method and system for incorporating a current event data stream from a television broadcasted video signal onto a pre-recorded video stream for playback on a television set. A first digital video stream, which includes television program content and a first event data stream, is retrieved. If it is ascertained that a current event is located in the current event data stream in the television broadcasted video signal, then the first event data stream is replaced with the current event data stream in the retrieved first digital video stream, and the television program content is played back concurrently with the current event data stream on the television set. If it is ascertained that the current event is not located in the current event data stream in the television broadcasted video signal, then the television program content in the retained first digital video stream is played back on the television set.
