20080230177 | ENHANCED LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY SYSTEM AND METHODS - Embodiments of methods and systems to generate an enhanced layered display system are described herein. In one embodiment, a method of generating an enhanced layered display system is provided including dispensing an optical bonding liquid onto a first substrate; forming an adhesive preform unit by curing the optical bonding liquid on the first substrate; and laminating the adhesive preform unit to a second substrate to form the enhanced layered display system, where one of the first substrate and the second substrate is a display. | 09-25-2008 |
20100214526 | TOOL FOR USE IN AFFIXING AN OPTICAL COMPONENT TO A LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD) - A tool for use in affixing an optical component, such as glass, to a liquid crystal display (LCD) using a silicone gel mixture of dimethyl siloxane and a vinyl terminated dimethyl polymer includes, in one embodiment, a unitary metallic platen that is shaped to define a central window. A narrow shelf is defined around the outer periphery of the central window, the shelf serving to support the optical component during the application of the silicone gel thereon. A upwardly extending partition is formed onto the top surface of the platen around the shelf, the partition serving, among other things, to retain the optical component fixed in place on the platen during the assembly process. A plurality of identical, spaced apart, upwardly extending standoffs are formed onto the free end of the partition and are designed to support the LCD a fixed distance away from the optical component. In this manner, it is to be understood that the plurality of standoffs ensure that the layer of silicone gel deposited between the optical component and the LCD is uniform in thickness to optimize performance. | 08-26-2010 |

20100115202 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR MICROCODE PATCHING - Methods and systems for performing microcode patching are presented. In one embodiment, a data processing system comprises a cache memory and a processor. The cache memory comprises a plurality of cache sections. The processor sequesters one or more cache sections of the cache memory and stores processor microcode therein. In one embodiment, the processor executes the microcode in the one or more cache sections. | 05-06-2010 |
20110320798 | Providing Silicon Integrated Code For A System - In one embodiment, a semiconductor integrated code (SIC) may be provided in a binary format by a processor manufacturer. This SIC may include platform independent code of the processor manufacturer. Such code may include embedded processor logic to initialize the processor and at least one link that couples the processor to a memory, and embedded memory logic to initialize the memory. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 12-29-2011 |
20130013905 | BIOS FLASH ATTACK PROTECTION AND NOTIFICATION - A system and method for BIOS flash attack protection and notification. A processor initialization module, including initialization firmware verification module may be configured to execute first in response to a power on and/or reset and to verify initialization firmware stored in non-volatile memory in a processor package. The initialization firmware is configured to verify the BIOS. If the verification of the initialization firmware and/or the BIOS fails, the system is configured to select at least one of a plurality of responses including, but not limited to, preventing the BIOS from executing, initiating recovery, reporting the verification failure, halting, shutting down and/or allowing the BIOS to execute and an operating system (OS) to boot in a limited functionality mode. | 01-10-2013 |
20130067184 | ACCESSING PRIVATE DATA ABOUT THE STATE OF A DATA PROCESSING MACHINE FROM STORAGE THAT IS PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE - According to an embodiment of the invention, a method for operating a data processing machine is described in which data about a state of the machine is written to a location in storage. The location is one that is accessible to software that may be written for the machine. The state data as written is encoded. This state data may be recovered from the storage according to a decoding process. Other embodiments are also described and claimed. | 03-14-2013 |

20140157349 | Verified Sensor Data Processing - Sensor data may be filtered in a secure environment. The filtering may limit distribution of the sensor data. Filtering may modify the sensor data, for example, to prevent identification of a person depicted in a captured image or to prevent acquiring a user's precise location. Filtering may also add or require other data use controls to access the data. Attestation that a filter policy is being applied and working properly or not may be provided as well. | 06-05-2014 |
20150067683 | VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT MANAGER - A virtual environment manager (“VEM”) simplifies the usability of virtual machines and provides users with an enhanced design for creating and/or for managing virtual machines (“VMs”). For example, a user can select description information and management information to be included in descriptors and according to which a VEM will create and manage various VM environments for various host environments. The VEM automatically creates the VM environments and host environments by sending descriptor description information and data files associated with the description information to virtual machine monitors (VMMs), which create the VM environments according to the description information. A VEM at each host may manage VM environments executed by the VMM, according to the descriptor management information. Thus, a set of descriptors to create and manage a set of VMs for a home computer may be easily modified by a user to create and manage a set of VMs for a work or laptop computer. | 03-05-2015 |
