In one aspect, an apparatus may include a processor and a communication interface accessible to the processor. The communication interface may be configured to communicate with a computing device. The apparatus may also include storage that is accessible to the processor and that includes instructions executable by the processor to monitor a circuit within the computing device to detect a break in the circuit. The circuit itself may be completed based on the apparatus being engaged with the computing device. Responsive to detecting a break in the circuit, the instructions may then be executable to write first data to at least one log stored on the apparatus. The instructions may also be executable to monitor the computing device to detect the computing device being powered on and, responsive to detecting the computing device being powered on, write second data to the at least one log stored on the apparatus.

A portable tracking device including a substantially rectangular base unit. A display screen, a video camera, a keypad, a pair of lights, an activation control, a video control, a bar code scanner, and a camera control are disposed on the base unit. The pair of lights includes a first light and a second light. The bar code scanner is configured to scan the barcode of each of a plurality of tags. The first light of the pair of lights is configured to activate when a user scans the barcode of one of the plurality of tags a first time. The first light of the pair of lights is configured to deactivate and the second light of the pair of lights is configured to simultaneously activate when the user scans the barcode of one of the plurality of tags a second time.

An apparatus comprises a switch and nodes coupled to the switch. Each node does not include an integrated video controller and transmits data to the switch via a USB and a serial connection. The switch comprises a controller which stores video output generated based on data received via serial connections. The controller: receives a user selection for a first node; transmits the user selection to a first multiplexer; retrieves a first video output generated based on data received via the corresponding serial connection; and transmits the first video output to a second multiplexer. The first multiplexer transmits USB data received from the first node to the second multiplexer. If the first node is in a pre-boot environment, the second multiplexer selects the first video output for transmission. If the first node is in a post-boot environment, the second multiplexer selects the data received from the first node for transmission.

A method of determining which of at least two connected mobile devices is to function as a host device, wherein the mobile devices first determine which of them is to act as an initial host device and which is to act as an initial peripheral device. The initial host device then receives instructions from a user as to which of the mobile devices is to be the host device. If the instructions indicate that the initial host device is to be the host device, the initial host device controls, as host device, the initial peripheral device as a peripheral device, and if the instructions indicate that the initial peripheral device is to be the host device, the initial host device passes control to the initial peripheral device to enable the initial peripheral device to control, as host device, the initial host device as a peripheral device.

An IC card has a communication unit, a storage unit, and a controller. The communication unit communicates with an external apparatus. A communication buffer for communication between the communication unit and the external apparatus is set in the storage unit. If the size of a buffer used in communication is designated by the external apparatus, the controller sets a receive buffer that stores reception data and a transmit buffer that stores transmission data in the communication buffer, and notifies the external apparatus of the size of the set receive buffer and the size of the set transmit buffer.

A method includes generating, by a control unit of a first device, a handshaking signal to be transmitted to a second device via a second channel. The method further includes based on the handshaking signal being acknowledged by the second device, configuring, by the control unit, the second channel to communicate non-display data and configuring a first channel connecting the first device to the second device to selectively communicate either display data or non-display data; and based on the handshaking signal being not acknowledged by the second device, configuring, by the control unit, the first channel to communicate display data.

In one embodiment, a method for tensor data distribution using a direct-memory access agent includes generating, by a first controller, source addresses indicating locations in a source memory where portions of a source tensor are stored. A second controller may generate destination addresses indicating locations in a destination memory where portions of a destination tensor are to be stored. The direct-memory access agent receives a source address generated by the first controller and a destination address generated by the second controller and determines a burst size. The direct-memory access agent may issue a read request comprising the source address and the burst size to read tensor data from the source memory and may store the tensor data into an alignment buffer. The direct-memory access agent then issues a write request comprising the destination address and the burst size to write data from the alignment buffer into the destination memory.
