  • Publication number: 20060265386
    Abstract: A method for configuring a thin client connected to a communications network includes the thin client sending a request for a network address to an address server. The address server sends an assigned network address back to the thin client together with a location of a configuration server. The thin client sends a request for configuration information to the configuration server. The request for configuration information includes information on the thin client. The configuration server generates a configuration file containing configuration information based on the received thin client information. The configuration file is then sent by the configuration server to the thin client, which uses the configuration file for configuration.

  • Patent number: 5804990
    Abstract: A wired combinational logic arrangement responsive to N binary signal sources includes N circuits, one for each source. The circuits drive a common output terminal. Each circuit includes first and second devices for pulling the common terminal to first and second different voltages during successive abutting activation periods. The first device supplies a current to the common terminal that is considerably greater than the current supplied to the common terminal by the second device. The arrangement further includes a third device for pulling the common terminal to the second voltage at all times. The third device supplies a current to the common terminal that is either equal to or less than the current supplied by the second device.

  • Patent number: 5467042
    Abstract: A low power clocking apparatus and method is used to reduce power consumption by an electronic system or an integrated circuit that is coupled to an external system via a system bus which is configured to selectively transmit or receive signals from the electronic system or integrated circuit. The electronic system or integrated circuit includes a plurality of sub-circuits. Each sub-circuit is configured to operate under control of a clock signal and further includes an apparatus for keeping or rejecting the clock signal. Once each sub-circuit within the electronic system or integrated circuit rejects the clock signal, an integral arbiter circuit disables the clock signal to all the sub-circuits. The arbiter circuit continuously monitors the system bus. Upon detecting that the sub-circuits will require the clock signal, the arbiter will re-enable the clock signal to all of the sub-circuits.

  • Patent number: 5313224
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for increasing the perceived gradation of the shades in visual displays is disclosed. A plurality of signals control the intensity of a sub-pixel of a display so that display can exhibit a native number of shades. Frame rate modulation techniques are used to increase the perceived gradation. Finally, flicker is reduced by spreading the phases of the modulating pixels across time, and the horizontal and vertical axes of the display.
