20090319620 | PROGRAM-SENSITIVE LINK IN CONTENT - Context-sensitive content may be created that may be recognized by a particular program but ignored by other programs. For example, in an e-mail message or other type of message, content could be created that advises the user to download a particular client for an enhanced content-viewing experience, along with a link pointing to a site where the client may be downloaded. This content and link could be surrounded by tags that would not be recognized by most clients, but that would be recognized by the client that provides the enhanced experience. Thus, most clients would render the advice and link, but the client that provides the enhanced experience could be configured to omit the link when it recognizes the surrounding tags, since a recipient who is viewing the e-mail with that client already has access to the enhanced experience. | 12-24-2009 |

20130124934 | PACKETIZING JTAG ACROSS INDUSTRY STANDARD INTERFACES - Apparatus and techniques for performing JTAG testing on production devices and systems through industry standard interfaces. The devices employ processors configured to receive packetized test input data from a tester over a standard communication interface such as a USB or Ethernet port and perform associated testing operations defined by the test input data, such as JTAG-compliant testing. This is facilitated, in part, via use of a bridge and one or more DFx handlers, with the bridge operating as an interface between the DFx handlers and a bus and/or interconnect over which test input and result data is transferred via the standard communication interface. The techniques enable testing such as JTAG testing to be performed on fully-assembled devices and systems without requiring the use of dedicated test or debug ports. | 05-16-2013 |
