Abstract: Authentication processing is provided which includes generating an authentication parameter as a function of a time-dependent input using a predetermined transformation having an inverse transformation. Multiple authentication modes are supported, with a bit-length of the time-dependent input of one authentication mode being different from a bit-length of the time-dependent input of another authentication mode. Generating the authentication parameter is dependent, in part, on whether the time-dependent input is of the one authentication mode or the other authentication mode, and includes performing multiple rounds of transformation of the time-dependent input. A time-dependent password including a character string is generated from the authentication parameter using another predetermined transformation having another inverse transformation. The time-dependent password is forwarded within the authentication system for authentication by an authenticator.

Abstract: Apparatus, systems and methods for managing and aggregating cached data of aggregated electronic devices for sharing functionality to fulfill requested tasks, while monitoring and controlling battery energy levels in the electronic devices to ensure sufficient battery power is available, individually or collectively, to fulfill a requested task. The electronic devices are positioned in proximity to a computing device for sharing cached hierarchies of each device as well as hierarchies of the aggregated devices. The electronic devices are provided in proximity to a charge distribution unit (CDU) for determining if each electronic device has enough battery power to complete all, or a portion, of a requested task. If any device needs charging, the CDU allocates and distributes battery power from one or more other device batteries and/or power outlet. The charging power is then transferred to the electronic device in need of charging to fulfill the requested task.

Abstract: Apparatus, systems and methods for managing and distributing electronic device battery power charge to electronic devices having batteries in need of charging. The electronic devices are positioned in proximity to a charge distribution unit (CDU) and a controller, which receive battery signal data including battery power level data transmitted from the electronic devices. Using the battery power level data the controller analyzes the battery signal data to determine an allocated amount of battery power charge required for charging each device battery to a desired battery charge. The CDU receives these allocated amounts and initiates transfer thereof from a power source in communication with the invention. Allocated amount(s) of battery power charge are transferred from the power source by sharing power source charging power amongst the electronic device batteries to ensure each electronic device has available battery power at a time when needed.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for backing up personal data between two mated (i.e., paired) network attached storage (NAS) devices. The system includes a local storage device and a secondary storage device that communicate over a network (e.g., the Internet) via a network connection. Any data added or modified on the local storage device will be automatically mirrored (i.e., copied) to the secondary storage device, which may be located at a secure remote site, pursuant to a data mirroring technique.

The first and second components of the electronic assembly may be, for instance, stacked electronic components of the electronic assembly, or laterally offset components of a substantially planar electronic assembly.

Abstract: A method of managing data flow may include assigning, along a communication route, a predetermined total energy consumption limit for a network adaptor having a first and a second network adaptor port card, whereby the route transmits data between a first and a second node within the network. Along the route, a total energy consumption value for the network adaptor is determined based on the transmitted data. The assigned total energy consumption limit is compared with the determined total energy consumption value of the network adaptor. The transmitted data is determined as being data of a known duration and data of an unknown duration based on the comparing resulting in the determined total energy consumption value exceeding the assigned total energy consumption limit. The data of a known duration is transferred from the first network adaptor to the second network adaptor and the first network adaptor is powered off.
