A management system for a computer data network comprises a remote management station connected to an analog communication system and connected to a device console port of a co-located computer device. The remote management station comprises (a) an embedded processor, (b) a connecting means to the analog communication system, and (c) a connecting means to the device console port. The remote management station is configured to detect a user connecting to or disconnecting from the device console port via the remote management station. The remote management station is configured for one or more of the following: (a) logging the user off the device console port when the user disconnects or is disconnected from the console port; (b) logging a previous user off the device console port before allowing a new user to access the device console port; or (c) monitoring messages sent to the device console port.

In an information processing apparatus which transfers target information to an external data processing device to process the information, and saves the processed information, a data management unit stores second identification information corresponding to the target information in association with the target information to which first identification information is attached. The first changing unit deletes the first identification information from the target information and adds the corresponding second identification information to the target information in the data management unit. The transfer unit transfers the target information processed by the first changing unit to the external data processing device.

A method of calculating utilization and bottleneck performance parameters of a processing unit within a graphical processing unit (GPU). The utilization is a measure of a percentage that the processing unit is utilized over a draw call execution time. The bottleneck is the sum of the time period that the processing unit is active, the time period that the processing unit is full and does not accept data from an upstream processing unit, minus the time period that the processing unit is paused because the downstream processing unit is busy and cannot accept data, all over the execution time of the draw call. Performance parameters may be determined by sampling the processing unit and incrementing a counter when a condition is true. The method is repeated for the same draw call, for each processing unit of the GPU, and for a plurality of draw calls comprising a frame.

A computer network management system with an embedded processor, an analog communication means and a digital interface for network management provides a system for remotely and securely managing a network. Backup power in the form of an uninterrupted power supply, or other power means as appropriate, allows the modem to provide power outage notification to a remote site. The system further provides authentication and authorization capabilities for security purposes.

A method of distributing media content over networks where content is shared includes coupling downloading metadata, which is accessed to start downloading media contents from the network, with semantic metadata representative of the semantic information associated with at least one of the content, and with source metadata indicative of the source of the media content. At least one of the semantic and the source metadata may be made accessible without downloading, even partially, the media content. A digital signature may also be applied to the metadata to enable the verification that, at reception, the metadata is intact and has not been subjected to malicious tampering.

A user receiver coupled to an advertisement system through a network is used to provide a method of providing a personalized advertisement. The method includes: maintaining user information related to user's video view; receiving from the advertisement system respective first advertisement control data corresponding to a plurality of first advertisements, wherein the respective first advertisement control data includes at least one first condition variable and at least one first point; comparing the user information with the first condition variable or variables; and displaying, when first conditional variables matched with the user information exist, an advertisement corresponding to a first condition variable having the highest first point among the first condition variables matched with the user information.

An equipment information security device is provided. The equipment information security device is installed on an equipment with confidential information, wherein the equipment or the device has a security interface, the device comprises: a fitting which is worn by a staff and combined with an electronic tag with or without authority to the corresponding equipment; a tag reader, which detects the electronic tag within a detecting area corresponding to the security interface; and an authority processing unit, which links to the tag reader: wherein the authority processing unit sets the security interface to an operation state and enables the security interface when there are only the authorized electronic tags being detected in the detecting area, and the authority processing unit sets the security interface to a security state and disables the security interface when one or more unauthorized electronic tags are detected in the detecting area.

A card information protection device and a finance service equipment having the same are provided. The card information protection device is arranged between a transverse card inlet and a longitudinal magnetic card information reader, and comprises a magnetic card transverse admission port. A magnetic card conveying channel is arranged between the magnetic card transverse admission port and the longitudinal magnetic card information reader. A magnetic card rotating mechanism is arranged in the magnetic card channel. The magnetic card rotating mechanism is used for rotating a transversely-inserted magnetic card to longitudinal direction in order to convey the magnetic card into the longitudinal magnetic card information reader, and rotating the longitudinal magnetic card returned by the longitudinal magnetic card information reader to transverse direction in order to convey the transverse magnetic card out. The problem that the whole magnetic strip of the magnetic card information reader which allows a user to plug the magnetic card in the longitudinal direction is completely scanned by a card stealer device illegally arranged in a card plug-in buckle in the process of longitudinally inserting the magnetic card can be effectively solved, and thereby the problem that the magnetic card information is stolen illegally can be thoroughly solved.

To track a large number of tools, the tools are kept in sets with each set having a container. A silhouette of each tool stored in the container is printed at the point of storage along with a dat matrix code that has stored in binary code a description of the tool, the part number, and an identification of the kit of which it is a part. The associated tool has etched into the surface thereof a data matrix code containing the same information as the code printed at the point of storage. The data matrix codes are readable by a scanner and a record of all the tools is maintained on a computer.

Disclosed is an apparatus and method of mirroring firmware and data of an embedded system. The embedded system mirrors a boot loader image, a kernel image, a RAM disk image and data that are stored on a main flash memory to be operated onto a secondary flash memory. Therefore, when a main flash memory does not normally work, the firmware and data that are stored on the main flash memory to be operated is mirrored onto the secondary flash memory, which prevents the loss of data and maintains the operation of the embedded system. As a result, it is possible to secure the reliability and operability of the system.
