Assignee:

Lenovo (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. - Singapore

International Classification:

G06F 1/32

US Classification:

713323, 713 1, 710 36, 711115, 711149

Abstract:

An apparatus for providing management storage via a USB port of a computer system is disclosed. The apparatus includes a flash memory, a first and second switches, a first and second inverters, a designated port, and a controller. Coupled to the flash memory, the first and second switches are controlled by a main power of a computer system in a complementary manner. The first and second inverters, which are powered by a standby power of the computer system, are coupled to a respective control input of the first and second switches. The designated port, which is coupled to the flash memory via the first switch, allows data to be read from and written to the flash memory without booting up the computer system. On the other hand, the controller, which is coupled to the flash memory via the second switch, allows data to be read from and written to the flash memory by the computer system only after the computer system has been booted up.

Assignee:

LENOVO (SINGAPORE) PTE. LTD. - New Tech Park

International Classification:

G06F 3/033

US Classification:

345157

Abstract:

A method and structure for positioning the cursor on a computer which uses a touch pad for cursor control wherein a cursor jumps from one point to another point on the screen without being in between, and wherein a cursor is displayed and a touchpad is connected to the screen, comprising the steps of: associating a coordinate system on the touchpad with a coordinate system on said screen to generate locations on the screen corresponding to given locations on the touchpad; causing the setting of time and pressure on the touchpad for a valid response; causing the determination of an average point with reference to a finger on the touchpad and, thus, a point on the screen for movement of the cursor to the point responsive to the set pressure and time on a given location on the touchpad.
