Abstract: The present invention is a method for the efficient persistent storage of Device Management (DM) information on a mobile device. More specifically, the present design provides methods for applications to access and update this information consistent with the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) DM standard. The present invention provides a method for retrieving firmware update packages, saving the package as specified by the OMA Firmware Update Management Object standard, and triggering the update process to apply the package by an update agent.

Abstract: A method for the efficient persistent storage of Device Management (DM) information on a mobile device is provided. More specifically, the present design provides methods for applications to access and update this information consistent with the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) DM standard by extending the OMA SyncML DM standard and providing a physical implementation of a tree management data structure. This implementation enables device management parameters, originating from server applications to be received, stored and accessed by a client mobile device. The present design incorporates centralized access and security rights management for securing DM information such that only permitted applications may access and update this information. In addition, the present design provides a method for retrieving firmware update packages, saving the package as specified by the OMA Firmware Update Management Object standard, and triggering the update process to apply the package by an update agent.

Abstract: A system and method for lossless data compression of byte oriented digital data, including but not exclusively executable program code and related data. This lossless data compression system and method when used to process sets of similar but not identical input data, will generate compressed forms of that data which also have a high degree of similarity. The present invention utilizes an update package generated based on the differences between the compressed forms of data, whereby the update package can be applied to the original compressed form to create the new form. A typical change to create the new form from the original would be when making bug fixes to deployed software.

Abstract: A method of removing gas from a printhead is provided. A sealing material may be applied to orifices of a printhead from external the printhead to restrict passage of fluid through the orifices. Ink may be moved through a printhead conduit disposed in fluid communication with the orifices to create an inward suction adjacent the orifices so that the gas is displaced from adjacent the orifices.

Abstract: An electrical probe for a flying leadset of a logic analyzer probe has coaxially aligned internal elements enclosed in an insulating cover. The probe has an electrically conductive contact having contact fingers extending in one direction from a support member and a contact member extending in the opposite direction. A sleeve abuts the contact member and receive a center conductor of a conductive cable that is secured in the contact member. The insulating cover has a contact cover portion and a over-mold portion that are chemically bonded together. The contact fingers are positioned in the contact cover and the over-mold portion encapsulates the rest of the probe. The contact fingers are aligned parallel with one side of a square aperture formed in the contact cover. A resistive element may be interposed between the contact member and the sleeve.
