Abstract: A display device includes a first substrate, a second substrate, a display medium layer, a sealant, a first film layer, a first protection pattern, and a first alignment layer. The display medium layer is disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate. The sealant is disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate and surrounds the display medium layer. The first film layer is disposed on the first substrate between the first substrate and the display medium layer. The first protection pattern is disposed between the first film layer and the sealant. The first alignment layer is disposed on the first substrate between the first film layer and the display medium layer. The first protection pattern is in contact with the sealant and exposed by the first alignment layer. The first protection pattern and the first alignment layer are both in contact with the first film layer.

Abstract: A system of booting a computer in which a pair of boots (or dual boots) is provided in the flash memory of the computer. The first flash boot, also called the primary boot, is activated when the computer is turned on, after the POST (Power on Self-Test). The primary boot determines if a secondary boot is stored in the flash memory of the computer. If the secondary boot is not stored in the flash memory of the computer, the primary boot resumes and the computer is booted using the primary boot. If a secondary boot is stored in the flash memory of the computer, the primary boot resumes and is completed, after which the computer is reset and rebooted using the secondary boot.

Abstract: Embodiments generally relate to automatic recovery of a computing system. The present technology discloses techniques that can enable an automatic detection and recovery of a switch device from system malfunctions. According to some embodiments, a watchdog timer can detect switch system malfunctions and send out signals to reset a switch central processor unit. According to some embodiments, the switching functions can be maintained during a reset of the switch central processor unit.

Abstract: A system for offloading management controller traffic includes a data port, an out-of-band port, and a leaf switch. The leaf switch includes a switch application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) and an unmanaged chip directly connected to the switch ASIC. The switch ASIC is configured to direct data traffic to the data port and offload baseboard management controller (BMC) traffic to the unmanaged chip. The unmanaged chip is configured to direct the BMC traffic to the out-of-band port.
