Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and systems for transferring data between a first and second module are provided. In one aspect, a method includes receiving, by a virtual controller register, outbound data; arbitrating, at a virtual arbitrate, the outbound data; transmitting, from the virtual controller register to the master low speed bus (LSB) frame/de-frame, the outbound data; adding, at the master LSB frame/de-frame, identification data to the outbound data to create an outbound data frame; transmitting, from the master LSB frame/de-frame to a slave LSB frame/de-frame, the outbound data frame; parsing, at the slave LSB frame/de-frame, the outbound data frame into parsed outbound data; arbitrating the parsed outbound data; transmitting, from the slave LSB frame/de-frame to the target controller register, the parsed outbound data; and receiving, at a target controller port from the target controller register, the parsed outbound data for transmitting to the slave device.

Abstract: Devices and methods for a communication device having at least one power supply unit coupled to a power connector for providing an operating power for operation of network modules of the communication device and a PoE power for the ports connected to Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices. The PoE power includes a consumable power to power up at least one PoE devices and a leftover power. Further, a PoE power harvester adapter is coupled to a power connector to convert the leftover PoE power into additional operating power for operating additional network modules.

Abstract: A connection is established between a host device and an internal memory of a computing device. A voltage is received by the computing device from the host device. Upon receiving the regulated voltage, the internal memory of the computing device can exchange data with the host device.

Abstract: A network device including a power supply, a communication port and a power line between the power supply and the communication port. A controller is to turn on a switch so that power can be delivered to the communication port along a second power line parallel to the first power line, before sending a power down signal.

Abstract: A connection is established between a host device and an internal memory of a computing device. A voltage is received by the computing device from the host device. Upon receiving the regulated voltage, the internal memory of the computing device can exchange data with the host device.

Abstract: A master node selects a plurality of slave nodes that share a common slave address to receive a data communication. The master node multicasts the data communication to the plurality of selected slave nodes via an inter-integrated circuit bus having a serial data line and a serial clock line.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing a redundant management module are provided. In this regard, a representative system, among others, includes first and second management modules that are configured to manage a computing device; and a programmable logic device that is configured to: instruct the first management module to manage the computing device responsive to detecting that the first management module is ready to manage the computing device, and instruct the second management module to manage the computing device responsive to detecting that the first management module failed to manage the computing device.
