Patent Number Title Of Patent Date Issued
7555663 Method and apparatus for managing power in network interface modules June 30, 2009
A method and system for managing power consumption in a portable computing device having a network interface module is presented. A power management module receives inputs from other modules and determines when the network interface module is to be put in a doze state for a predetermined
7548749 High-speed internal wireless bus June 16, 2009
Multiple computing devices are connected together using a high-speed wireless link. The wireless link enables expansion of available resources to the host device, such as one or more of volatile memory resources, non-volatile memory resources, and additional processor resources.
7529957 Method and apparatus for managing power in network interface modules May 5, 2009
A method and system for managing power consumption in a portable computing device having a network interface module is presented. A power management module receives inputs from other modules and determines when the network interface module is to be put in a doze state for a predetermined
7460855 Selective pre-authentication to anticipated primary wireless access points December 2, 2008
A wireless device that adaptively makes the determination of whether or not to pre-authenticate. If the wireless device is running an application that is sensitive to latency (also referred to herein as a low latency application), then pre-authentication is performed and latency is reduc
7451331 Method and apparatus for managing power in network interface modules November 11, 2008
A method and system for managing power consumption in a portable computing device having a network interface module is presented. A power management module receives inputs from other modules and determines when the network interface module is to be put in a doze state for a predetermined
7448070 Network fingerprinting November 4, 2008
