Abstract: An apparatus for processing visual information includes a controller to control display of information in an application window based on first visual information stored in a buffer and second visual information received from one or more sources. The controller outputs the first visual information for display in a first area of the application window and outputs the second visual information for simultaneous display in a second area of the application window. The first visual information is visual information that does not change between a first time and a second time, and the second visual information is visual information that changes between the first time and the second time. The controller may be different from a central processing unit of a host device.

Abstract: Techniques for image rendering are described herein. The techniques may include providing image data to an encoder for transmission to a display. An indication of whether at least a portion of the image data is video data or non-video data is provided. A first policy may be implemented for image data that is video data. The first policy prioritizes transmission of the image data over encoding image quality. A second policy may be implemented for image data that is non-video data. The second policy prioritizes encoded image quality over transmission of the encoded images.

Abstract: Systems, devices and methods are described including using a Human Interface Device (HID) source device to configure a HID sink device to provide interface data such as multi-touch data. The HID source device may enable a data module in the HID sink device to generate the interface data. After receiving the interface data the HID source device may generate output data and provide the output data to the HID sink device.

Abstract: An embodiment may include circuitry to facilitate, at least in part, a first network interface controller (NIC) in a client to be capable of accessing, via a second NIC in a server that is remote from the client and in a manner that is independent of an operating system environment in the server, at least one command interface of another controller of the server. The command interface may include at least one controller command queue. Such accessing may include writing at least one queue element to the at least one command queue to command the another controller to perform at least one operation associated with the another controller. The another controller may perform the at least one operation in response, at least in part, to the at least one queue element. Many alternatives, variations, and modifications are possible.

Abstract: Examples are disclosed for automatic downstream to upstream mode switching at a universal serial bus (USB) physical (PHY) layer including activating a switching structure to switch a USB port operating in a downstream mode to an upstream mode based on an attempted attachment by another USB port also operating in a downstream mode. The examples may also include facilitating attachment of the switched USB port now operating in the upstream mode to the other USB port operating in the downstream mode.
