Bootstrapping TRIZ Cases
- Pre-OS Memory Cacheability via MTRR and PAT Configuration
Pre-OS code sets up MTRR and PAT registers to define specific memory types, optimizing cache operations and reducing boot time.
- Peripheral Control Program Memory Loading Without Installation
A control program loads directly into computer memory from a peripheral device via USB without hard disk installation.
- Non-Volatile Driver Store for Seamless OS Updates
A non-volatile driver store stages device drivers to enable seamless updates without triggering system reboots.
- Shell Virtual Machine Migration with Pre-fetched Boot Sector
A shell virtual machine boots immediately using a pre-fetched boot sector while the migration appliance transfers remaining data blocks in the background.
- Game Controller Emulator for Virtual Reality Input Mapping
Emulator translates physical game controller signals into virtual reality device data streams, enabling compatibility without application rewriting.
- Universal Configuration Tool for Programmable Devices
A universal configuration tool generates device-specific code and settings through a graphical interface.
- On-Demand Root File System Dynamic Deployment via BIOS Overlay
BIOS overlays external root file systems on base storage to enable dynamic capability deployment without rebooting the system.
- Partial Memory Channel Boot for Reduced BIOS Training Time
Segmenting memory training into BIOS and OS phases reduces boot time while maintaining system responsiveness.
- Trusted Device Bootloader for Secure OS Provisioning
A tamper-resistant portable device uses embedded bootloader logic to boot untrusted terminals and stream operating system images from a server.
- Reboot Management via Master Flag and Component Stack
A master reboot flag coordinates an initiation component stack to consolidate upgrades, eliminating downtime from individual reboots.
- Boot Order Management Module for Heterogeneous Computing Devices
A device management module translates user boot order requests into vendor-specific commands using a common syntax format.
- ECU Boot Method Reducing HSM Verification Overhead
Authenticated boot sequence extends by allowing host tampering detection, reducing hardware security module involvement and boot time.
- Configurable Integrated Circuit Die Persona Switching
A configurable integrated circuit die switches device personas via a reconfigurable partial reconfiguration slot managed by hardware components.
- Shared SPI Flash Firmware Initialization for CPU and GPU
A shared SPI flash stores firmware for multiple processing units, enabling independent initialization without redundant hardware components.
- Boot Controller Cache Configuration for Parallel Initialization
A boot controller configures cache memory as storage for hardware initialization code before execution begins.
- Persistent Device Enrollment via Firmware Deployment Agent
Firmware deployment agents automate device enrollment to reduce administrative workload and improve security compliance.
- Boot Control Module Signal Buffering for Fast-Boot Reliability
A control module buffers power button signals to delay transmission, enabling precise boot mode selection before system initialization.
- Network Switch Boot Loader Data Plane Recovery
Boot loader configures switch data plane before operating system boot to minimize reboot downtime.
- Selective USB-3 Channel Disablement to Reduce Wireless Interference
A USB-3 enable setting selectively disables high-speed channels on specific ports to balance data throughput with wireless communication performance.
- Reconfigurable Processor Defect Repair via Virtual Addressing
Virtual addressing remaps logical resources to bypass manufacturing defects, maintaining yield without recompiling configuration files.
- Nonvolatile Memory Boot Code Reading via Signal Echo
A nonvolatile memory device echoes a host signal to activate its interface and read boot code.
- Central Office Auto-Configuration for Broadband Access Network Modules
Central office control nodes verify pluggable interface modules against databases to enable zero-touch activation, eliminating manual administration errors.
- Customizing Boot Logic via Driver Subsets to Reduce Network Traffic
Server selects device-specific drivers for core logic to create tailored boot programs, reducing network traffic and driver conflicts.
- GPU Server Graphics Card Identification via BIOS Reset
BIOS enumeration identifies graphics card category and resets memory address offset to ensure reliable identification after server restart.
- Secondary Non-Volatile Memory for Redundant Firmware Boot
A secondary non-volatile memory stores redundant firmware to enable automatic boot switching.
- BIOS Boot Source Isolation for External Storage Security
A BIOS detects external boot sources and disables internal information handling resources to mitigate security risks.
- Remote Operating System Conversion via Loopback File System
OSC device formats host storage partitions and mounts a loopback file system to emulate physical media for remote OS installation.
