Abstract: Methods, systems and computer readable media for multi-device single network sign-on are described. For example, a method can include authenticating a first device for network access via a first authentication process, the first device being associated with a user account. The method can also include receiving an access request from a second device associated with the user account, and determining whether the second device is within an access perimeter of the first device. The method can further include permitting the second device to access the network without a second authentication process when the second device is within the access perimeter of the first device.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer readable media for serving application specific policies based on dynamic context are described. In some implementations, the method can include determining a dynamic authentication context for a user including one or more access credentials, and authenticating the access credentials. The method can also include determining an indication of a need for a service-based policy, and generating a dynamic service-based policy based on the dynamic authentication context and an application. The method can further include providing the dynamic service-based policy to the application, and monitoring for a change in the dynamic authentication context. The method can also include updating the dynamic service-based policy.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for dynamically routing authentication requests are described. An embodiment can include receiving, at one or more computing devices, a network authentication request. An embodiment can also include creating, at the one or more computing devices, an authentication context based on information in the authentication request. An embodiment can also include dynamically routing, using the one or more computing devices, the authentication request to an authentication server.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for a single authentication context for network and application access are described. An embodiment can include a method for using a single authentication context for network and application access. The method can include generating, using one or more processors, an authentication context. The method can also include providing, using the one or more processors, the authentication context to one or more application programs. The method can further include determining an application access level for each of the one or more applications based on the authentication context.

Abstract: A pulse charging profile for a vehicle battery is synchronized with driver or vehicle demanded current disturbances by phase tracking the fundamental frequency of the desired pulse charging profile to those driver or vehicle demanded current disturbances. When these driver or vehicle demanded disturbances are not active, the tracked charging profile is honored.

Abstract: An electronic device with improved heat dissipation properties comprises metallic housing. A base circuit board may be positioned within the housing in a plane parallel to the backside. Multiple connectors for coupling cassettes to the base circuit board may be positioned about the periphery of the base circuit board such that multiple cassettes may be positioned adjacent to each side of the housing. Each cassette includes a printed circuit board with a plurality of heat generating components coupled to the printed circuit board and having a thickness extending towards the side of the housing. The cassette includes a metallic housing with a heat dissipation structure contacting: i) the side of the housing; and ii) each heat generating component. Each of at least two heat generating components have different thicknesses and the heat dissipation structure had different thicknesses between the side of the housing and each heat generating component.

Abstract: Initialization and configuration modules are added to a POST-(power-on setup test) routine. If the initialization module detects new PCI devices in a system, this module determines whether this new device includes an Optional ROM (OP ROM) adhering to the PCI 3.0 specification, and whether the OP ROM provides a configuration utility. If so, this module identifies the device and its configuration utility, and locates the OP ROM. The initialization module then initializes the new device, but does not configure it. The initialization module similarly initializes any additional new devices, and builds a combination configuration utility menu listing these new devices. In turn, the configuration module enables a user to select from the menu whether to configure new devices using their provided configuration utilities, or using BIOS setup routines. The menu may also include an EXIT entry that exits the menu.

Abstract: A masking film having improved wetting of substrates has an adhesion layer, a second layer, and optionally a core layer interposed between the adhesion layer and the second layer, wherein the adhesion layer comprises a blend of a metallocene polyolefin and a low density polyethylene and wherein the second layer provides increased stiffness, strength or mechanical properties to the film. The film may also include antistatic agents in at least one film layer.

Abstract: Surface protection films are disclosed that comprise an outer surface contact layer, an outer stiffening layer, and optionally a core layer, wherein the surface contact layer consists essentially of (A) a mixture of a tackified quadblock styrene block copolymer elastomer and a triblock styrene block copolymer containing up to 30 wt % of a diblock styrene copolymer; (B) a mixture of a tackified quadblock styrene block copolymer elastomer, a tackified triblock styrene block copolymer and a triblock styrene block copolymer containing up to 30 wt % of a diblock styrene copolymer; (C) a mixture of a tackified triblock styrene block copolymer and a triblock styrene block copolymer containing up to 30 wt % of a diblock styrene copolymer; or (D) a triblock styrene block copolymer containing up to 30 wt % of a styrene diblock copolymer and a low density polyethylene polymer.

Abstract: An initialization module and a configuration module are added to the POST (power-on setup test) routine of a personal computing system. The initialization module detects the presence of a new PCI device in the computing system. If there is a new PCI device, the initialization module detects whether this PCI device has an OP ROM (OP ROM) adhering to the PCI 3.0 specification and whether the OP ROM includes a configuration utility. If so, the initialization module collects information identifying the PCI device and its configuration utility, a pointer to the configuration utility in the OP ROM, and the location of the OP ROM. The new PCI device is then initialized but not configured. The initialization module repeats these operations for all new PCI devices. In the process this initialization module builds a combination configuration utility menu. After all new PCI devices have been initialized the configurations module manages the configurations of the initialized PCI devices.
