Abstract: A nose mountable sunlight blocking assembly includes a panel that has a front side, a back side and a perimeter edge. The panel is comprised of a flexible material and is opaque such that the panel blocks UV radiation. An adhesive is positioned on and covers the back side of the panel. The panel is positioned on and covers an exposed upper surface of a nose such that at least 90% of the upper surface of the nose is covered by the panel.

Abstract: An example method involves detecting a memory relocation process and disabling memory access to a memory block in response to detecting the memory relocation process. The example method also involves determining an absolute address value associated with the memory block and storing the absolute address value.

Abstract: An exterior ABS alerting system takes the existing signal from the ABS ‘Electronic Brake Control Module’ that currently displays to the vehicle driver the activation of the ABS and sends that signal to an ‘exterior ABS alerting system. Once the exterior ABS alerting system receives this signal, the conventional rear brake lights can be strobed or could rapidly flash to alert oncoming and following vehicles of a braking duress by a vehicle. The braking indicator could simultaneously or sequentially strobe or fast flash to alert other drivers of emergency braking conditions. The exterior alerting module would only act in an over-ride capacity. Once the signal from the EBCM ceases, the exterior alert module ceases to override normal brake lamp operations.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture to manage memory access are disclosed. An example method is used to detect a memory relocation process and disables memory access to a memory block in response to detecting the memory relocation process. The example method is then used to determine an absolute address value associated with the memory block. The absolute address value is then stored.

Abstract: In some embodiments, the invention involves a system and method relating to switching to protected mode to access extended memory while executing instruction code that is designed for real mode memory access. In at least one embodiment, the present invention is intended to enable complex option-ROM code to be executed during pre-boot without corrupting system memory used by the BIOS or other option-ROMs. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: The inventive subject matter provides systems, methods, data structures, and software to compress and decompress a memory image such as an expansion read-only memory (ROM). Some embodiments include attaching a compressed memory image to a decompression shell to create a data structure that includes decompression instructions. Other embodiments include loading a memory image from a data structure by decompressing the memory image according to decompression instructions included in the data structure.

Abstract: A card receives data encoded in a protocol. The data may be divided into packets, or still in a protocol data unit. If still in a protocol data unit, the card divides the data into packets of appropriate size. Digests appropriate to the protocol are computed and inserted into the packets. Checksums are generated for the packets that need them, such as the packet now including the digest. The packets may then be transmitted to a recipient.

Abstract: A data processor core 10 comprising: a memory access interface portion 30 operable to perform data transfer operations between an external data source and at least one memory 120 associated with said data processor core; a data processing portion 12 operable to perform data processing operations; a read/write port 40 operable to transfer data from said processor core to at least two buses 75A, 75B said at least two buses being operable to provide data communication between said processor core 10 and said at least one memory 120, said at least one memory 120 comprising at least two portions 120A, 120B, each of said at least two buses 75A, 75B being operable to provide data access to respective ones of said at least two portions 120A, 120B; arbitration logic 110 associated with said read/write port 40; wherein said arbitration logic is operable to route a data access request requesting access of data in one portion of said at least one memory received from said memory access interface to one of said at least tw

Abstract: A method includes receiving input from a user and, in response to the input, selecting one of a BCV (boot connection vector) pointer and a BEV (bootstrap entry vector) pointer to have a non-null value.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a network management system is capable of performing a coordinated discovery operation on devices in a network using a number of discovery and aggregator agents. Data collected and generated by the agents may be coalesced into a database file. New agents may be added to the system as plug-ins by registering an XML file with a network manager.
