Methods and apparatuses that automatically detect availability of a reader mode for article content in a web page addressed by a URL are described. Availability detection may be progressively performed such that cheap operations are performed first to reduce the need to perform more expensive ones. A retrieval status of the web page may be detected to determine when enough content has been retrieved to initiate a detection of the reader mode for the web page. A reader indicator may be presented in a user interface of a browser if the availability of the reader mode is detected. A user of the browser may be noted with an alternative presentation of the article content from the web page in addition to a presentation of the whole web page by the browser. If the reader mode of the web page is not available, no reader indicator may be present in the browser.

A running mode is determined on the basis of an input mode setting signal MSW. A lower intermittence prohibition vehicle speed is set when the running mode is a power mode than when the running mode is a normal mode. When a vehicle speed is equal to or higher than the set intermittence prohibition vehicle speed, an engine is prohibited from being operated intermittently. When the vehicle speed is not equal to or higher than the intermittence prohibition vehicle speed, a vehicle runs with the engine permitted to be operated intermittently. When the power mode is set, the engine is more often prohibited from being operated intermittently and hence is more often in operation. Therefore, the responsiveness of a driving force is enhanced. Further, when the normal mode is set, the engine is more often permitted to be operated intermittently. Therefore, no deterioration in fuel economy is caused.

Certain aspects of a method for iSCSI boot may include loading boot BIOS code from a host bus adapter or a network interface controller (NIC) by an iSCSI client device. A connection may be established to an iSCSI target by the iSCSI client device after loading the boot BIOS code. The boot BIOS code may be chained to at least one interrupt handler over iSCSI protocol. An operating system may be remotely booted from the iSCSI target by the iSCSI client device based on chaining the interrupt handler. An Internet protocol (IP) address and/or location of the iSCSI target may be received. At least one iSCSI connection may be initiated to the iSCSI target based on chaining at least one interrupt handler. The iSCSI target may be booted in real mode if at least one master boot record is located in the memory.

A synchronous DRAM and method are provided in which main cells and spare cells are accessed by an external address during automatic refresh of a test mode. In the synchronous DRAM, a mode register setting circuit receives an external signal in response to a plurality of control signals to generate a mode register setting signal, during an automatic refresh operation in a test mode. An address selector selects and outputs an external address to the memory cell array, in response to the activation of the mode register set signal, during the automatic refresh operation in the test mode. The address selector selects and outputs an internal address to the memory cell array, in response to the deactivation of the mode register set signal, during an automatic refresh operation in a normal mode. Therefore, the main cells and the spare cells in the memory cell array are sequentially accessed and refreshed by the external address during the automatic refresh operation in the test mode.</PTEXT>

An oral care system is disclosed. The oral care system includes an electric toothbrush having an energy source; an electronic circuit including a microcontroller and one or more electric loads; and at least one sensor for providing a signal indicating a relevant change of an external condition; and a mobile computing device that stores a computer application. In response to a relevant change in an external condition, the signal has an energy content allowing the microcontroller to activate a ready mode, the ready mode causing the system to perform at least the following prior to turning the toothbrush on: switching on one or more of the electric loads for a preset period; enabling a wireless communication link between toothbrush and device; and exchanging data between toothbrush and device as part of the wireless communication.

The present invention describes a method and system for creating a cluster availability model that takes into account availabilities of software components in the cluster. Aspects of the disclosure include defining a repair model and failure parameters for a repair mode in the repair model, and modeling availabilities of software components based on the repair mode and failure parameters. Additional aspects include combining availability models of software components in a computationally feasible manner and determining repair rates of node and cluster reboots. A cluster availability model is determined using the combined availability models of software components and the repair rates of node and cluster reboots.

The invention discloses a quick starting optimizing method based on an X86 platform Vxworks operation system. The method comprises the following steps of (1) BIOS execution and (2) Vxworks loading and starting. According to the step of BIOS execution, after a computer is powered on and started, POST, initialization setting, execution of resident programs are carried out in sequence, a bootstrap program is started by calling an INT19 file in the system, a Vxworks file in the system is read directly and is analyzed after the bootstrap program is started, then an computer operation mode is switched to a protection mode from a real mode, and data and codes after analysis of the file are uploaded to assigned memory addresses respectively. According to the steps of Vxworks loading and starting, after uploading of the data and uploading of the codes are finished, the data and the codes skip to the position of a memory address e_entry corresponding to an ELF format file header to begin to be executed, the operation system is uploaded and started directly, and application programs are executed. According to the quick starting optimizing method based on the X86 platform Vxworks operation system, the method of uploading the system through bootrom in the prior art is changed, and the starting time is shortened to 3 seconds from original 20 seconds to 30 seconds.

In order to appropriately control consumption power in an image reading apparatus which operates based on electric power supplied from a computer via a connection cable or an external power supply, when the external power supply is connected, a read operation is executed in a normal mode; when no external power supply is connected, a read operation is executed in a power saving mode.

In some embodiments, the invention involves a system and method relating to switching to protected mode to access extended memory while executing instruction code that is designed for real mode memory access. In at least one embodiment, the present invention is intended to enable complex option-ROM code to be executed during pre-boot without corrupting system memory used by the BIOS or other option-ROMs. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
