Abstract: Systems and methods for power state transitioning in an information handling system having a volatile memory and a nonvolatile memory are disclosed. Dirty data in the volatile memory may be identified. The dirty data may include data that has not been stored in the nonvolatile memory. Dirty data may be written from the volatile memory to the nonvolatile memory. Transitioning to a reduced power state may be in response to a trigger event. Transitioning from the reduced power state may be in response to a wake signal. Data may be copied from the nonvolatile memory to the volatile memory. An operating system may be waked to a restored state.

Abstract: In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, an information handling system for managing the entitlement of digital assets may include a storage medium and a processor. The storage medium may include entitlement data associated with one or more digital assets. The processor may be configured to receive a plurality of entitlements for a digital asset from a parent device. The processor may also be configured to bind the digital asset and the plurality of entitlements to the information handling system. The processor may additionally be configured to allocate the plurality of entitlements among a plurality of child devices. The processor may be further be configured to bind the plurality of entitlements to the plurality of child devices in accordance with the entitlements.

Abstract: An integrated computer system includes a computer system, having at least a display, a chassis, a memory, a power supply and a communication interface, and a personal digital communications (PDC) system, having at least a display, a memory, a battery and a communication interface. The computer chassis is configured to removably retain the PDC system in a docked mode, and when in said docked mode the PDC system is operable to communicate with the computer system through the respective communication interfaces and the computer system is operable to send data from the computer memory to the PDC system. The PDC system is operable to receive said data and store said data in the PDC memory and to display at least a subset of said data on the PDC display when the computer system is powered on or off.

Abstract: Processing components to manufacture information handling systems have build-to-order integrated circuits with plural selectively-enabled features set at the information handling system manufacture location. For instance, fuses integrated in the integrated circuits are selectively blown at the information handling system manufacture location to permanently disable features so that the processing components have a desired configuration. As another example, feature enable or disable states are programmed in flash incorporated in the integrated circuit, with the flash programmability subsequently disabled to permanently set the features so that the processing components have a desired configuration. Features are set with keys provided by the processing component manufacturer to track the information handling system manufacturer's use of the features.

Abstract: The inventive concepts relate to avoiding or preventing infection of an information handling system with malware. In one embodiment, an information handling system includes a write filter and a storage device. The storage device couples to the write filter. The write filter is configured to selectively provide information to the storage device, depending, at least in part, on whether malware is detected in the information.
