Abstract
A computer receives a sleep signal that instructs the computer to enter a sleeping state in which stand-by power from a power source is needed. The computer generates a control signal that initiates delivery of stand-by power from the power source in connection with the computer's entering the sleeping state. The control signal is asserted in at least one situation in which the sleep signal is asserted, and the control signal is not asserted in at least one other situation.
