Described herein are technologies related to playing moving-images content and more particularly to playing such content on a display possessing a display refresh rate which is typically greater than the inherent frame rate (e.g., a cinematic frame rate) of the content. This Abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.

Driving displays at cinematic frame rates

An apparatus to manage wireless communications may include an interface component to monitor channel load over a multiplicity of communications channels in an least one wireless communications band, and an interference management component to identify an active channel of a wireless local area network (WLAN) link, and identify a select channel from the multiplicity of communications channels that is orthogonal to the active channel of the WLAN link to transmit wireless data over a wireless personal area network (WPAN) link.

Techniques to enhance wireless personal area network performance under interference conditions

Described herein are techniques related to devices with wireless docking capabilities and more particularly near field communications-based techniques for docking and undocking devices. This Abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.

Near field communications-triggering for wireless display/docking

A Universal Serial Bus (USB) hub for allowing communication between a host device and one or more peripheral devices. The USB hub is configured to allow the host device to communicate with the peripheral devices in at least two communication modes and to automatically switch between communication modes in response to the type of connection between the host device and the USB hub. In a first communication mode, the host device is wirelessly coupled to the USB hub and in a second communication mode, the host device is physically coupled (wired-connection) to the USB hub.

A wireless device may include two or more wireless interfaces capable of transmitting and/or receiving signals over separate wireless networks. To reduce the likelihood of interference, a processing unit may determine whether to permit a transmission under one wireless network when a reception under another wireless network is already in progress.

Reducing interference from closely proximate wireless units

A method, apparatus, and program product for reducing unwanted host wake-up messages. A host computer finds a port in use by a host application, selects program information based on the port in use by the application, and sends the program information to a port filter. The port filter receives a packet that contains a port identifier. The port-filter uses the program information to decide whether there is a host application associated with the port identifier and sends a wake-up message to the host computer only when there is an associated host application.

Port-based packet filter

A method for managing an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) cell includes transmitting an ATM cell from a server system to a broadband modem. The ATM cell is forwarded from the broadband modem to a client system.

Method and apparatus for extending point-to-point/asynchronous transfer mode services to client computer systems

A method, apparatus, and system are provided for transmitting an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) cell from a server system to a broadband modem and forwarding the ATM cell from the broadband modem to a client system. According to one embodiment, a Broadband Modem Access Protocol (BMAP) unit is used to discover the identity of the broadband modem.

Extending point-to-point/asynchronous transfer mode services to client computer systems

A system comprises a first device and a second device. The first device operates in a power management environment and has a sleep status signal for indicating a sleep status to the second device. The sleep status indicates if the first device is in a sleep state or normal operation state. The second device is coupled to the first device and checks for malfunctions of the first device. The second device only checks for malfunctions of the first device if the first device is in the normal operation state.

Watchdog timer that is disabled upon receiving sleep status signal from monitored device wherein monitored device is not responsive to time-out of watchdog timer

A method to route a packet in a computer network in which the packet is transmitted via a router to a destination that is in a sleep state. The data packet causes a router to broadcast an address resolution request which in response awakens the destination from its sleep state. Upon awakening, the destination provokes a resolution of a destination address in which the address resolution is provoked without waiting for a reception of another address resolution request. When a second data packet is transmitted to the destination address, the destination address resolution is already resolved.
