Compressed memory systems and methods that reduce problems of memory overflow and data loss. A compression engine compresses blocks of data for storage in a compressed memory. A compression monitor monitors the achieved compression ratio and provides a software trap when the achieved compression ratio falls below a minimum. After the trap is provided software monitors the fill state of the compressed memory. If the compressed memory is approaching full, the software changes the block size to improve the compression ratio.

In accordance with one embodiment, additions to the standard computer microprocessor architecture hardware are disclosed comprising novel page table entry fields 015 062, special registers 021 022, instructions for modifying these fields 120 122 and registers 124 126, and hardware-implemented 038 runtime checks and operations involving these fields and registers. More specifically, in the above embodiment of a Hard Object system, there is additional meta-data 061 in each page table entry beyond what it commonly holds, and each time a data load or store is issued from the CPU, and the virtual address 032 translated to the physical address 034, the Hard Object system uses its additional PTE meta-data 061 to perform memory access checks additional to those done in current systems. Together with changes to software, these access checks can be arranged carefully to provide more fine-grain access control for data than do current systems.

On a host, host content change requests are intercepted in real-time. In a tracking mode, the change requests are logged and allowed to take effect on the host. In an enforcement mode, the change requests are logged and additionally compared against authorized change policies and a determination is made whether to allow the change to take effect or to block the changes, thereby enforcing the authorized change policies on the host. Tracking and enforcement can be done in real-time. In either mode and at any time, the logged changes can be reconciled against a set of approved change orders in order to identify classes of changes, including changes that were deployed but not approved and changes that were approved but not deployed.

An RFID printer system and method interrogates or accesses RFID tags automatically using a user-defined sequence of settings for different RFID tags or classes. Once a successful interrogation is completed, the settings are saved and the saved settings are used for interrogation on the next tag. Each new roll of tags/labels starts interrogation with the first of the settings. Consequently, the printer system can read from and write to tags of more than one class without hardware or software changes in the printer.

Provided is a method for configuring a control tunnel and a direct tunnel in an IPv4 network-based IPv6 service providing system. To provide IPv6 service, when a random request terminal receives a tunnel response message from a control server by using service information downloaded from a portal server at the time of initialization, the request terminal configures a control tunnel with the control server, and is registered to the control server. The request terminal transmits and receives a direct tunnel request message and a direct tunnel response message with a counterpart terminal by using its terminal information learned during the control tunnel configuration, i.e., network position information and status information, thereby configuring a direct tunnel. Thus, IPv6 communication is made through IPv4 based IPv6 tunneling, so that IPv6 application services that are not yet widely used can easily come into wide use. Also, only software change of each terminal and a control server is required without changing existing network equipment, so that a cost burden of a service provider can be minimized.

Software change management (SCM) systems can be extended to uniformly handle artifacts which lack constraints typically imposed on managed items. In the solution, a data type associated with a SCM system can enable management of unmanaged artifacts. Unmanaged artifacts can include, but is not limited to, artifacts which lack can traditional change management constraints, managed artifacts not directly associated with the SCM, artifacts with different constraints than the SCM imposed constraints, and the like. In one embodiment, an unmanaged artifact can have different lifecycles, policies, and the like which can make it unsuitable for traditional management approaches by the SCM. The SCM can utilize the data type to manage unmanaged artifacts without requiring significant change in functionality of the SCM by permitting change management processes to be applied to the unmanaged artifacts.

Automated estimation that a hardware or software change is correlated with one or more problem events. In addition to identifying that a change has occurred, one or more problem events are identified that have occurred after the change. Problem events are then correlated with the change using a distance measure between the change and the at least one correlated problem event. For most, if not all, of the distance measure, the greater the distance measure, the less the change is correlated with each correlated problem event. The distance measure may be a time interval, an activity-weighted interval, or any other type of distance measure.

A system and method may be used to track software changes by analyzing intermediate language level representations of the software. For example, software changes may be tracked by analyzing object-oriented program code that includes one or more non-native binary executables based on an intermediate language. The program code may be associated with metadata describing content of the non-native binary executables. An object tree, which includes a plurality of nodes, may be constructed to represent the non-native binary executables and the metadata describing the content of the non-native binary executables. One or more of the plurality of nodes may be hashed to associate respective digest values with the hashed nodes, such that changes in the received program code can be tracked using the digest values associated with the hashed nodes.

DVD players and the like may support multiple video formats, including interlaced and progressive scan video. If a user selects a mode (e.g., progressive scan) not supported by their monitor or television, then the user may lose the video image output, and can no longer see the GUI (Graphical User Interface) which would allow the user to switch back to the previous mode. The present invention solves this problem by providing a method and system whereby a new display mode or resolution is generated and a message displayed requesting the user to confirm whether the resultant display is acceptable. If the user does not respond to the message after a predetermined period of time (e.g., 20 seconds), then the system reverts back to the previous resolution or mode. The system thus prevents and corrects for the cases where a user selects an inappropriate video output. In addition, a user-friendly interface, which results in better customer satisfaction, is provided. Moreover, while minor software changes to the operating system of the consumer electronic video device (e.g., DVD player) may be required, the need for new hardware is eliminated.

Determining which snapshot deltas tend to occur in: (i) healthy virtual machines (VMs) that have been subject to an attack yet remained healthy, and/or (ii) unhealthy VMs that have apparently been adversely affected by an attack. Snapshot deltas that occur in at least some (or more preferably all) of the healthy VM subset provide information about software changes (for example, updates, configuration changes) that may be helpful. Snapshot deltas that occur in at least some (or more preferably all) of the unhealthy VM subsets provide information about software changes (for example, updates, configuration changes) that may be unhelpful.
