  • Configuration techniques for wireless communications devices
    Patent number: 8175034
    Abstract: Techniques for configuring wireless communications devices are disclosed. For instance, an apparatus may include a storage medium to store one or more configuration files, and a configuration module. Each of the one or more configuration files may correspond to a network carrier. The configuration module selects one of the configuration files and to extract one or more operational parameters from it. This selected configuration file and the one or more operational parameters correspond to a designated network carrier.
    Type: Grant

    Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
    Inventors: Alex Ho, Isabel Mahe, Wen Zhao, Edmond Leung, Gurunath Ramaswamy, Richard Curtis Scott
  • Embedded file system recovery techniques
    Patent number: 7941403
    Abstract: Various Embedded File System recovery techniques are described. A mobile computing device may comprise a radio, a processor coupled to the radio, and a memory coupled to the processor. The memory may be arranged to store a file system manager module (FSMM) that when executed by the processor manages an Embedded File System (EFS). The FSMM may create a factory image of the EFS on a periodic basis, or in response to a specific event such as a power down event. The FSMM may detect an error condition for the EFS, and replace the EFS with the factory image when an error is detected. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
