Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for controlling the enumeration of a multifunction peripheral device on a host computer. A multifunction peripheral device may include a generic and non-generic functional units connected to a host interface. The device may store in its non-volatile memory one or more drivers for the non-generic functional unit. The peripheral device may further include a controller for controlling the order in which the generic and non-generic functional units are exposed to and enumerated on the host system. The controller may include a switch operable to switch on and off the generic and non-generic functional units thereby controlling the order in which these units are exposed to and enumerated on the host system.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing in a packet data telecommunication network serving one or more end terminals and/or Mobile Stations (MSs), a method for establishing, managing, modifying, and terminating an End-to-End (E2E) Emergency Service (ES) Chain-of-Trust (CoT) from an Access Serving Network (ASN) and Connectivity Service Network (CSN) to a PSAP, PSAP proxy, or PSAP (i.e. PSTN) gateway that results in the creation of a trust relationship amongst the components in the established ES CoT necessary to allow or validate the granting of any unauthenticated or unprovisioned ES network access and ES operation establishment, modification, and termination requests from amongst the components in an ES CoT to assist a particular terminal/MS or ES network component attempting to establish an ES session between the ES user agent of the terminal/MS and a serving PSAP.

Abstract: Disclosed is a Quality of Service (QoS) control mechanism for QoS-aware network applications running on computer devices. The mechanism provides IP socket-based QoS Application Program Interfaces (APIs) for QoS-aware applications for accessing MAC layer QoS function of network access devices. In various embodiments, the QoS mechanism utilizes QoS API over Socket (QAoS) handler and/or a MAC layer QAoS handler wrapper at the network access device to control and monitor the QoS data being transmitted by the application over the active network interface(s).
