  • PROFILE BASED FAN CONTROL FOR COMPUTING DEVICES
    Publication number: 20160050789
    Abstract: An unmanageable component may be any component in a computing system that does not expose a temperature sensor thereby preventing the component's temperature from being monitored. The embodiments described herein control a fan using settings that decrease the likelihood that an unmanageable component will overheat. Before a user-selected fan profile is used to control the fan, a power system management uses safeguarding profiles to mitigate the risk of overheating the unmanageable components in the computing system when selecting a fan profile. Stated differently, the power management system ensures the computing system does not use the user-selected profile to operate a fan if that profile may cause an unmanageable component to overheat.

  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ALLOWING INCOMING EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS ON A DISABLED DEVICE
    Publication number: 20160044715
    Abstract: A system and method to allow a disabled device to receive an incoming communication after the termination of an emergency communication session with a service provider. A disabled device is a device having a portion of its service plan that allows the device to send or receive communications either temporarily or permanently disabled. In some embodiments, the system allows the disabled device to receive all incoming communications during a defined period of time after the emergency communication session. In some embodiments, the system allows the disabled device to receive all incoming communications from numbers or URIs contained in a repository of allowed numbers. In some embodiments, the system allows the disabled device to receive all incoming communications if the service provider initiating the communication enters an authenticated routing key or passcode.
