The present invention discloses a solution for migrating an application session from one device to another. In the solution, a migration event can be detected during an application session involving an application server and an original device. Client-side session information and server-side session information can be stored. The client-side session information can be conveyed to a transfer device, which establishes a communication connection with the application server. This session can occur after an arbitrary delay from an occurrence of the migration event. Transfer device settings can be changed in accordance with the client-side session information and application server settings can be changed in accordance with the stored server-side information. An application session involving the transfer device and the application server can be conducted, beginning in a state approximately equivalent to that which existed at the time of the migration event.

Such a display system accommodates different display resolution requirements of different original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers who may desire different displayed resolutions without having to manufacture and stock different models.

A “follow-me” utility runs on each of a plurality devices a person may typically use. This utility monitors applications running on a device and intelligently saves the state of tasks a user is performing. When the follow-me utility detects that the user has initialized another device having the follow-me utility and connectivity to the original device, the utility automatically and transparently creates an environment on the new device so that the user may continue the task at the same point as when he or she last performed the task on the original device. When the user continues a task or starts a new task, the follow-me utility automatically and transparently updates files and task states on any devices having the follow-me utility and connectivity. The follow-me utility may make intelligent task migration decisions based on conditions such as network bandwidth, security policy, location, and device capability.

An automatic steering system and method are provided for a vehicle including an hydraulic primary steering system. The automatic steering system includes a guidance module with a GPS receiver and a microprocessor adapted to process and store GPS data defining travel paths, which can be associated with a cultivated field in an agricultural vehicle application. An automatic steering module is connected to the guidance module and to a steering valve control block, which provides pressurized hydraulic fluid in parallel with the vehicle's primary hydrostatic steering system. The automatic steering system utilizes a constant factor, such as steering rate, for predictability and simplicity in the operation of the automatic steering system. A feedback loop from the vehicle hydrostatic steering system uses the vehicle's actual turning rate for comparison with a desired turning rate. The system is adapted for original equipment installation and retrofitting on vehicles, such as farm tractors, with various primary hydrostatic steering system configurations. An automatic steering method includes the steps of: initializing the system; adjusting the steering with an hydraulic valve to provide a constant steering rate; providing feedback corresponding to the vehicle's actual turning rate and combining the feedback with other input signals to provide automatic steering.

Unique Media Access Control (MAC) addresses are determined for dynamically addressable synthetic and physical network devices by requesting a MAC address anonymously from a server acting as an address allocator and arbiter, confirming the use of the requested MAC address, and relinquishing the address to the server for reuse when the MAC address is no longer needed. Alternatively, an agent with a known or established MAC address may be used to request a unique MAC address for the device from the server and to inform the server when the device no longer requires the requested MAC address. Also, instead of requesting a MAC address from a server acting as an address allocator and arbiter, the device instead may send a broadcast Ethernet packet with a broadcast source address having a payload indicating an intent to use a specific MAC address. If another device receiving this broadcast is already using the specific MAC address, then a broadcast packet is sent indicating a conflict with the device's intended address. In this case, the original device would send a new broadcast Ethernet packet with a payload indicating an intent to use a different specific MAC address. This process repeats until no response or assertion of use of the specific address in the payload is received by the original device. These techniques assure that dynamically addressable synthetic devices (such as virtual machines) and physical network devices do not attempt to use the same MAC address on the same network link.
