Abstract: A method implemented in a user equipment (UE) comprising a processor. First information is stored to a removable memory connected to the UE and second information is stored to a non-volatile memory of the UE. The first information may be a unique value and may include additional information. A connection request based at least in part on the first information is received. A connection response based at least in part on the second information and the connection request is sent.

Abstract: A method is provided for an upstream device to configure a plurality of lines in a cable. The method comprises the upstream device placing a first voltage on a first one of the lines traditionally specified to supply power; the upstream device grounding a second one of the lines traditionally specified to be a ground line; and the upstream device placing on a third one of the lines traditionally specified to convey data a second voltage for supplying power.

Abstract: The present application relates to performing operations on a computing device having a restricted mode of operation and an unrestricted mode of operation. A first input sequence comprising a correct authentication code and a command code is obtained while in the restricted mode of operation. The device executes one or more special operations associated with the command code while the device remains in the restricted mode of operation. The device transitions to the unrestricted mode of operation upon obtaining a second input sequence comprising a correct authentication code, and in the unrestricted mode of operation the device may execute one or more regular operations.

Abstract: A method on a handheld device is provided. The method comprises sending a request from the handheld device to initiate an application on a host computer, receiving data related to the application from the host computer at the handheld device, and displaying the data in a view of the application appearing on the handheld device.
