  • Patent number: 11579708
    Abstract: Examples associated with keyboard emulation are described. One example system includes an input/output controller. The system also includes a remote signal receiver. A control module receives a first signal via the remote signal receiver. Based on the first signal, the control module communicates with the input/output controller to emulate a keyboard input.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 28, 2017
    Date of Patent: February 14, 2023
    Assignee: HEWLETT-PACKARD DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, L.P.

  • Patent number: 10719421
    Abstract: An example method for monitoring different data storage devices across a network includes receiving data storage access requests made to different data storage devices across a network. A subset of the access requests to a taxon of a taxonomy of access request characteristics. For the taxon, a taxon threshold is determined for a parameter based upon the subset of access requests. The parameter of a sample of observed access requests, made to a data storage device and belonging to the taxon, is compared to the taxon threshold. A notification regarding the data storage device is made based upon the comparison.

  • Patent number: 10712971
    Abstract: In an example method, write commands for a solid-state storage medium having storage region are received. Selected write commands are filtered out according to criteria. The selected write commands are cached. Writing pursuant to the selected write commands is aggregated to within boundaries of one of the storage regions of the storage medium.

  • Patent number: 10664402
    Abstract: Example implementations relate to read operation redirect. For example, a system according in the present disclosure may include a data storage device accessible by a host. The system may include an input/output filter of an operating system of the host. The input/output filter may monitor read operations and write operations from the host to the data storage device. The input/output filter may copy a portion of the data storage device to a random-access memory (RAM) buffer within the host responsive to monitored read operations to the portion exceeding a threshold. The input/output filter may redirect a successive read operation, addressed to the portion of the data storage device, to the copy of the portion in the RAM buffer.

  • Patent number: 10276992
    Abstract: An example port protector includes a plug housing including an exterior surface and an interior surface, the plug housing sized to mate with a data communication port of an electronic device. The port protector also includes an opening extending from the exterior surface to the interior surface. The port protector further includes a storage container disposed within the plug housing, the storage container to release an adhesive agent via the opening based on an interaction between the plug housing and the data communication port.
