Abstract: A debugger is provided that is capable of connecting internally or externally to a host device using one or more of multiple host interfaces. The debugger can also connect, over a network, to a remote communication device executing a debugging application. Through the debugger, the debugging application receives messages from the host device regarding the status of a firmware on the host device, and sends debugging commands to the host device for performing operations such as updating the firmware on the host device.

Abstract: A battery temperature monitoring circuit, which has a cold comparator and a hot comparator, achieves high accuracy in a small cell size by utilizing a cold current optimized for the cold comparator and a cold reference voltage, and a hot current optimized for the hot comparator and a hot reference voltage, along with switching circuitry that provides the cold current to the cold comparator as the battery temperature approaches the cold trip temperature, and the hot current to the hot comparator as the battery temperature approaches the hot trip temperature.

Abstract: Technologies are provided herein for automated operating system installation on multiple drives. A device switch connects a mass storage device to a test control system (“TCS”) or a system under test (“SUT”). When connected to the TCS, the mass storage device is mounted with a disk image containing an installer program for an operating system. When the mass storage device is connected to the SUT, the installer program is executed to install the operating system onto an activated drive connected to the SUT. Multiple operating systems can be installed in a similar fashion by mounting a corresponding disk image for an operating system onto the mass storage device and by installing from the mass storage device the operating system onto a corresponding drive connected to the SUT. Errors generated during the automated installation process can be analyzed and utilized to identify and correct errors in a computing system firmware.

Abstract: A computer network system and method of receiving, storing, and authenticating a user's presence and information obtained at geographical user-location is disclosed. A first device displays a plurality of input regions on its display screen. Utilizing a stylus or fingertip, the user enters hand-written inputs in those regions. The first device transmits the user hand-written inputs and geographical location to a server and subsequently removes the displayed plurality of hand-written inputs from the plurality of input regions for the next user. A server receives the user's hand-written inputs and location, associates the location to the user, stores them, and transmits them to a second device where, in real time, they are displayed on a display screen of the second device, facilitating authentication and verification of the user's presence and user's hand-written inputs. In addition, authenticating documents comprising the hand-written inputs may be generated for audits.

Abstract: The invention proposes a process for rendering an object view using a PLM database. The database comprises modeled objects and relations between said modeled objects. Said modeled objects are associated to a set of values of attributes, whose values are stored in the database or computable based on relations involving said modeled objects. The process comprises displaying to the user a view of a set of modeled objects; receiving a selection by a user of an attribute; querying the database for a modeled object to be rendered; providing a value of the selected attribute, associated to said modeled object; and rendering said modeled object in the view according to the provided value of the attribute. It is also possible for the user to select a value of an attribute and the rendering will be carried out only on the object, whose value(s) matches with the selected value.
