In example implementations, an apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a cable interface, a video interface, an integrated chip, and a controller. The cable interface is to connect a host device via a cable. The video interface is to output video signals corresponding to visual data. The controller is communicatively coupled to the cable interface, the video interface, and the integrated chip. The controller assigns pairs of pins of the cable to transmit video signals based on the bandwidth used by the video signals. The controller also causes the host device to re-assign the pairs of pins of the cable to transmit the video signals.

A Bluetooth central apparatus encrypts a piece of verification data according to a secret-key system to generate a first encrypted verification parameter, and transmits the first encrypted verification parameter to a Bluetooth peripheral apparatus. The Bluetooth peripheral apparatus decrypts the first encrypted verification parameter according to the secret-key system to obtain a piece of decrypted verification data. The Bluetooth peripheral apparatus also encrypts the piece of decrypted verification data according to the secret-key system to generate a second encrypted verification parameter, and transmits the second encrypted verification parameter to the Bluetooth central apparatus. After that, the Bluetooth central apparatus decrypts the second encrypted verification parameter according to the secret-key system to obtain the piece of decrypted verification data, and verify whether the Bluetooth peripheral apparatus is valid according to the piece of verification data and the piece of decrypted verification data.

The invention provides apparatus and methods for interference based wave synthesis. The invention comprises (i) receiving information defining output wave characteristics, said output wave characteristics comprising at least an output wave frequency B, and an output signal amplitude M, (ii) determining a constant value A and (iii) driving a first input wave generator to generate a first input wave and (iv) driving a second input wave generator to generate a second input wave, such that the interfered wave synthesized by interference of the first input wave and the second input wave has output wave characteristics defined by the received information.

A wireless network device comprises a wireless signal driver, an application-driver framework that includes a bidirectional interface and an application interface. The application-driver framework is configured for application-agnostic and driver-agnostic communication. The bidirectional interface communicatively couples the wireless signal driver to the application-driver framework. The bidirectional interface includes an abstraction layer via which driver-agnostic command signals and driver-agnostic event signals are communicated with the application-driver framework and via which driver-specific command signals and driver-specific event signals are communicated with the wireless signal driver. The application interface is configured to interface with applications and with the application-driver framework. The application interface is configured to communicate application-agnostic command signals and application-agnostic event signals with the application-driver framework and to communicate application-specific event signals and application-specific command signals with the one or more applications and the application-driver framework.

A carriage system on an aircraft determines the type of each store attached to the carriage system. The carriage system detects stores attached to the carriage system and determines whether a first interlock signal formatted according to a first interface format is present for each store. If the first interlock signal is present, then the dual mode carriage system determines that a store interface for the store is the first interface format. If the first interlock signal is not present for the store, the carriage system determines whether a second interlock signal formatted according to a second interface format is present on a predetermined set of connection pins of the first interface format. If the second interlock signal is present, then the carriage system determines that the store interface for the store is the second interface format. The carriage system reports the store interface of each store to the aircraft.

There is provided a method for an I/O (input/output) scheduling method, the method comprises: assigning a system call identifier to each of a plurality of I/O requests derived from at least one system call requested by at least one application; sorting the plurality of I/O requests in order of the system call identifier; and transferring the sorted plurality of I/O requests to a computer-readable storage medium. Accordingly, in a mobile or desktop environment in which an application that frequently interacts with the user is executed, it is possible to minimize the read delay time increased due to file fragmentation, and moreover, it is possible to improve the user experience (UX).

Monitoring and reporting methods and apparatus include the acquisition of detailed aircraft state and systems data, analysis of the collected data, and transmission of the collected data and/or analysis of the collected data to a destination automatically via a portable electronic device which is carried onto and off of the aircraft by the pilot or another crew member. More particularly, monitoring and reporting methods and apparatus include collecting analog or digital sensor data onboard an aircraft, analyzing the data in real-time, and automatically transmitting the data and/or analysis of the data to a destination including a portable storage device such as a portable computer, electronic flight bag (EFB), or smart phone, by means such as wireless transmission, for automatic transfer to another destination when the portable computer, electronic flight bag (EFB), or smart phone is off of the aircraft.

A method, computer program product, and computing system for assigning a first set of interrupts for exclusive processing by a first set of central processing units (CPU) cores. A second set of interrupts may be assigned for processing by a second set of CPU cores. The first set of interrupts may be processed using the first set of CPU cores. The second set of interrupts may be converted to a set of polling operations, thus defining a set of converted polling operations. The set of converted polling operations may be processed using the second set of CPU cores.
