Abstract: Aspects of embodiments pertain to a method for determining an Input/Output (I/O) device configuration for a music teaching system. The method may comprise receiving a plurality of I/O device configurations of a music teaching system; receiving, for a given I/O device of the music teaching system, an initial I/O device configuration; and determining an updated I/O device configuration for the given I/O Device, based on the initial I/O device configuration of the given I/O Device and at least one of the plurality of received I/O device configurations. The determining is performed such that the updated I/O device configuration has improved device performance compared to the initial I/O device configuration.

Abstract: A device, communication system, and method are provided. In one example, a system for routing traffic is described that includes a plurality of ports to facilitate communication over a network. The system also includes a controller to selectively activate or deactivate ports of the system based on queue depths and additional information to improve power efficiency of the system.

Abstract: A system, a computing system, and a switch are provided. In one example, a system for routing data to one of a plurality of queues comprises a processor to poll a depth of one or more queues of the plurality of queues, determine a weight for each polled queue based on the depth of each polled queue, and route data received via a port to a first queue of the plurality of queues based on the determined weight for each polled queue.

Abstract: The invention discloses devices and methods for attaching game controller elements to a mobile electronic device such as a tablet computer or a smartphone. In some embodiments of the instant invention, controller elements may be brought into contact with a tablet or smartphone, locked in place, and then brought into electrical communication with the tablet or smartphone. Electronic devices may be placed in portrait or landscape orientation, and communication between electronic device and controllers may be wired and/or wireless.

Abstract: The invention discloses devices and methods for providing electrical energy and/or data from inside a protective case to an electrical device on the outside of the protective case. The instant invention, in some embodiments, places a battery pack or data transfer element in the back of a waterproof camera case and directs energy and/or data outside of the case to a peripheral such as a flashlight or WiFi router. The instant invention keeps the slender profile of GoPro and similar devices while allowing for added functionality to improve the use and performance of such electronic gear.
