Filed:

Apr 27, 1995

Appl. No.:

08/430943

Inventors:

John R. Reilly - Roseville CA

Assignee:

Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX

International Classification:

G09G 500

US Classification:

345169, 345 22, 345 23

Abstract:

A remote computer display for a portable computing device (PCD) utilizing the transfer of graphics primitives over a wireless data link. The present invention utilizes a wireless (RF or optical) transmitter built into a portable computing device to send graphics commands to a remote computer display. A receiver receives the wireless signals and converts the signals into data which produces a graphics image of the remote computer display. To reduce the data link bandwidth needed to transfer images from the PCD to the remote display, graphics primitives such as HPGL are sent over the data link. The PCD includes a video driver to convert video display requests made by the PCD operating system, or an application program executing on the PCD, into the graphics primitives which are then transferred to the remote display over the data link.

Assignee:

Covad Communications Group, Inc. - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

H04L012/66

US Classification:

370463, 370493

Abstract:

A telecommunication system for providing a remote access connection having a bandwidth of 128 Kbps or 144 Kbps to any location (homes, small businesses, etc. ) connected to a central office by a local loop, and higher bandwidth for some locations. The 128 Kbps or 144 Kbps is provided using ISDN Digital Subscriber Loop (IDSL) technology and higher bandwidth using other DSL technologies such as ADSL. Using shared equipment and transmission facilities, the present invention enables the high-speed remote access connections to be provided in a cost effective manner.

Assignee:

Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX

International Classification:

G06F 9/54
G06F 15/177

US Classification:

719317, 709220

Abstract:

In one embodiment of the invention, a method for printer driver initialization for a non-Microsoft Windows system, includes: copying a selected printer driver from a remote system to a local system, and installing the printer driver on the local system; initializing the printer driver on the local system and generating initialization information for the initialized printer driver; cloning the initialization information, and storing the cloned initialization information on the remote system; and binding the cloned initialization information to the selected printer driver. The remote system may be a non-Microsoft Windows system. The local system may be a Microsoft Windows system.

Appl. No.:

12/156684

Inventors:

John R. Reilly - Roseville CA, US

Assignee:

Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX

International Classification:

H04L 12/50

US Classification:

370357

Abstract:

Embodiments of the invention disclose a method of determining the existence of state synchronization between two redundant processing modules operating in a network switch that operates in a manner wherein ordinary network traffic stimuli are autonomously processed through interface and fabric modules, and extraordinary network stimuli are processed from the interface modules to the redundant processing modules, wherein one of the modules is operating actively in the switch and the other is operating in a standby condition whereby state latency exists between the two modules, comprising stopping processing of the extraordinary stimuli to the actively operating processing module, completing processing of stimuli previously received by the actively operating processing module, completing processing of stimuli previously received by the processing module operating in a standby condition, reading the state information of each of the two processing modules, and comparing the state information of said two processing modules to determine if their state information is synchronized, and resuming processing extraordinary stimuli by the actively operating processing module.

Appl. No.:

12/328624

Inventors:

John R. Reilly - Roseville CA, US

Assignee:

Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX

International Classification:

G06F 11/00

US Classification:

714 4

Abstract:

First and second management systems are placed in active and standby modes, respectively. The first and second management systems are configured to be in communication with the second and the first management systems, respectively and with a plurality of network devices. A first number of the plurality of network devices in communication with the first management system is determined at the first management system and transmitted to the second management system. A second number of the plurality of network devices in communication with the second management system is determined at the second management system and transmitted to the first management system. A first determination is made regarding whether the first number of network devices is less than the second number of network devices at the first management system. A second determination is made regarding whether the first number of network devices is less than the second number of network devices at the second management system. The first and second management systems are placed in failure mode and active mode, respectively based on the first and second determinations.

US Classification:

714 55, 714 471, 714 472, 714 50, 714 51

Abstract:

The invention provides for software fault detection. A software process tracks its own progress. In the event the timer times out, a handler checks the progress. If the progress meets a fault criterion, a fault response is executed.

US Classification:

714 48, 709221, 714E11025

Abstract:

A method of manipulating a configuration file for a network switch is described. The method comprises generating a difference list based on a comparison of an existing configuration file and a new configuration file for a network switch. The method further comprises executing commands from the generated difference list to configure the network switch and generating a revised configuration file based on the new configuration file and the existing configuration file.

John R. Reilly - Roseville CA, US

International Classification:

H04L 12/24
G06F 11/07

US Classification:

370220, 714 15

Abstract:

A device has first and second instances of a computer-executable manager. When a failure is detected in the first instance while it is active, the second instance is activated. During activation of the second instance, a conforming first process of the second instance conforms its state data to an authoritative second process of the second instance.
