Abstract: In some embodiments, a power manager may be coupled to a load circuit and configured to receive an input signal indicating a line disturbance on a power supply line and to reduce a load requirement of the load circuit in accordance with the received signal. The power manager may be configured to selectively reduce power to components with low entrance latency while continuing to provide full power to components with high entrance latency. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.

Abstract: Actual power savings achieved by using a power savings mode in a communications device may be increased by analyzing the effects of the power savings mode on delays and using the analysis on which to base a decision as to whether or not to enter the power savings mode.

Abstract: Techniques for profiling systems, such as mobile or embedded devices, are provided. The techniques can profile code executing on these systems based on power used by that code. The system may profile power usage for the entire system or a subsystem, component, or functional unit thereof, for example. The system may determine when a specified amount of power has been used, and a performance sampler may then temporarily stop execution of the code and sample state data. This sampled state data may be provided to a performance analyzer that determines performance of the executing code.

Abstract: Embodiments of the current invention describe a method of receiving quality of service (QoS) requirements for a software task of a computing device from an operating system QoS infrastructure and configuring a power management policy for a computing device using the QoS requirements for the software task of the computing device.

Abstract: Improved enhanced TV programming provides the capability for event driven recording of TV programs and program segments. Recording a selected program segment of a digital TV program includes receiving a digital TV stream including the digital TV program, automatically starting recording of the selected program segment of the digital TV program when a first event notification is received, and automatically stopping recording of the selected program segment when a second event notification is received.

Abstract: A wireless local area network system includes a network address translation (NAT) router coupled to a public network. The NAT router is adapted to assign a private address to a mobile wireless device and to assign a global address for communications to the public network. A plurality of access points is provided, each of the access points being in communication with the network address translation (NAT) router. The access points are adapted to provide wireless communications with the mobile wireless device. The mobile wireless device communicates with at least one of the access points at a time. Data for the mobile wireless device is broadcast to all of the access points. Recently-received data is buffered at one or more of the access points adjacent to the at least one access point currently in communication with the mobile wireless device.

Abstract: Improved enhanced TV programming provides the capability for a TV viewer watching one channel to be notified of interesting programming events happening or about to happen on other channels. The present invention overcomes the problem addressed by “surfing TV channels” by providing notifications that alert enhanced TV viewers to other programming events happening or about to happen on different channels that are not presently being watched. This enables the viewer to watch a primary program on one channel without interruption and be timely notified about interesting programming events about to occur on other channels. The viewer then may have the option of switching to another channel based on the information included with the event notification.
