Abstract: An information handling system downloads device drivers for recovery operation of the information handling system, and subsequently obtains first configuration information associated with each of the device drivers. The system performs an inventory of devices associated with the information handling system that includes obtaining second configuration information associated with each of the devices in the inventory, and compares the first configuration information and the second configuration information. If the particular device driver is missing, then the system downloads the particular device driver prior to boot to a service operating system.

Abstract: A method for generating a secure application is described herein. The method can include the steps of obtaining a target application and decomposing the target application into original files that contain predictable instructions. One or more predictable instructions in the original files may be identified. In addition, the target application may be modified to create the secure application by binding one or more intercepts to the target application. These intercepts can enable the modification of the predictable instructions in accordance with one or more policies such that the behavior of the secure application is different from the original behavior of the target application. Modification of the target application may be conducted without access to the source code of the target application.

Abstract: An electronic device and a method for automatically converting text to be displayed on a display screen of an electronic device into a speech signal when ambient light conditions affect viewing of the text. The method is performed by the electronic device and the method includes receiving a command to display text on the display screen and determining if an ambient light signal provided by an ambient light sensor is above a pre-determined viewing threshold. This ambient light signal corresponds to ambient light conditions adjacent the display screen. The method also includes automatically converting the text to a speech signal when the ambient light signal is above the pre-determined viewing threshold. Suitably, there is performed a step of emitting the speech signal in an audible form from a speaker.

Abstract: A radio frequency amplifier module (500) has a voltage monitor (546) that monitors an input supply voltage of an input power supply (534) and an adjustable power supply (512) that accepts power from the input power supply (534) and produces an adjustable power supply output that has a controllable voltage. The radio frequency amplifier module (500) further has an amplifier (402) that is supplied by the adjustable power supply output and that amplifies a radio frequency signal. The radio frequency amplifier module (500) also has an output controller (546) that is communicatively coupled to the voltage monitor and the adjustable power supply (512). The output controller (546) controls, in response to the input source voltage, the controllable voltage of the adjustable power supply output.
