Abstract: A multiple-CPU (e.g., multi-core) computing device includes P-state management technologies that allow the computing device to update P-state data of all of the individual CPUs using a single periodic task running on one of the CPUs.

Abstract: A dual mode smart card controller, a dual mode smart card, and a wireless communication device incorporating one or more of the same are provided. The dual mode smart card controller includes a first controller adapted for supporting communications with a first smart card protocol, and a second controller adapted for supporting communications with a second smart card protocol. The dual mode smart card controller further includes a multiplexer module having two sets of multiplexed ports that are selectively coupled to a common set of ports, and an interface module coupled to the common set of ports, and adapted to be coupled to signal terminals of a smart card. The multiplexer module selectively couples one or more signals received from the smart card via the signal terminals to one of the first controller and the second controller. The smart card uses at least one of a same connection associated with the common set of ports for use with both of the first controller and the second controller.

Abstract: A method of remote control of a wireless communication unit (300) operating in a communication network (100) having the steps of creating a message (202) to be delivered to said wireless communication unit (300) by a Content Provider (104); creating at least one instruction (204) for said wireless communication unit (300) by said Content Provider (104); delivering (210) said message and said instruction to said wireless communication unit (300); processing (222) said instruction by said wireless communication unit.

Abstract: This application relates to a method of enabling and disabling software features in a software-implemented feature set, to the software itself and to a device with the software thereon. In accordance with the method of the invention, a token formed from identification and feature related information is sent to an authorization device. The authorization device creates a key from this information and sends the key and information on the authorized feature set back to the device. The device generates its own version of the key and compares its version with the received version. If the two keys match, the authorized feature set is implemented.
