Abstract: A system for controlling the operation of an agricultural implement includes a ground-engaging tool and a fluid-driven actuator for adjusting the soil penetration depth of the tool. Moreover, the system includes a linkage assembly coupled to the frame of the implement and configured to move when the soil penetration depth of the tool is adjusted. Furthermore, the system includes a fluid circuit for conveying a flow of pressurized fluid between the actuator and a fluid source. The circuit includes a blocking valve that blocks the flow of the fluid when activated to prevent the actuator from adjusting the soil penetration depth. Additionally, the system includes a proximity sensor configured to detect the presence of the linkage assembly when the linkage assembly moves into the detection range of the sensor. Moreover, the system includes a relay configured to activate the valve when the sensor detects the presence of the linkage assembly.

Abstract: A computing system is described that includes a main system bus that remains active while said computing system operates within a non main CPU/OS based operational state. The computing system also includes a controller that operates functional tasks while the computing system is within the non main CPU/OS based operational state. The computing system also includes an I/O unit coupled to the main system bus that remains active while the computing system operates within the non main CPU/OS based operational state.

Abstract: A method is described that involves operating a computing system within a normal on state and transitioning from the normal on state to a main CPU/OS based state. In the main CPU/OS based state one or more components of the computing system are inactivated so as to cause the computing system to consume less power in the main CPU/OS based state than in the normal on state. The computing system is able to execute software application routines on a main CPU and a main OS of the computing system while in the main CPU/OS based state.

Abstract: A method and system for reducing power consumption of a computer system by allocating memory pages that are associated with lower memory address before those associated with higher memory addresses. Memory elements that do not include any allocated memory pages and that are positioned at a higher address than a threshold address may have its power consumption reduced when the computer system enters a low power consumption state.

Abstract: A system and method for receiving a list of data item during a process synchronizing data on a mobile device. One embodiment, of the method includes replacing one or more data items if a quality factor of a corresponding data item received is higher than the corresponding data item previously stored on the mobile device. In one embodiment, the method further includes saving one or more data items received if the data items were not previously stored on the mobile device. The mobile device is one of a set comprising of a mobile computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), cellular phone.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention can make data from a primary system of a computer available to an extended mobile access module embedded in the computer.

Abstract: A computer includes a wireless personal area network (WPAN) interface, a wireless local area network (WLAN) interface and a wireless wide area network (WWAN) interface. A device communicating with the wireless personal area network can command the computer to perform actions using the wireless local area network interface or wireless wide area network interface.

Abstract: A method, machine readable medium, and system are disclosed. In one embodiment the method comprises sending a message on a wireless network to a mobile computer and disabling the mobile computer upon receipt of the message.
