A method for configuring a thin client connected to a communications network includes the thin client sending a request for a network address to an address server. The address server sends an assigned network address back to the thin client together with a location of a configuration server. The thin client sends a request for configuration information to the configuration server. The request for configuration information includes information on the thin client. The configuration server generates a configuration file containing configuration information based on the received thin client information. The configuration file is then sent by the configuration server to the thin client, which uses the configuration file for configuration.

Data stored internally in a television system is modified conveniently. New data is stored on a video tape. A user of a television system simply needs to play the video tape on a video cassette player to change pre-stored data in the television system. The video signal resulting from playing the video tape is provided to the television system. The television system examines the received video signal to recover the encoded new data and uses the new data to modify the pre-stored data. For example, the pre-stored data may be replaced by the new data.

A method and apparatus for maintaining the voltage level of data signals supplied to an integrated circuit, such as a PCMCIA card, at the same level as power also provided to the integrated circuit. Circuitry for maintaining the voltages at the same level is preferably embodied within a system having a card controller integrated circuit, a power supply, and a peripheral card socket for receiving a removable PCMCIA card. The power supply is controlled by the card controller to provide power to the PCMCIA card through the card socket at a voltage level matching internal voltage requirements of the PCMCIA card. The card controller is connected directly to the PCMCIA card by a signal transmission line. Circuitry is provided for ensuring that the voltage of data signals transmitted along the data bus line to the PCMCIA card substantially match the voltage of power provided from the power supply to the PCMCIA card along a power supply line. In this manner, damage resulting from a power mismatch within the PCMCIA card is avoided.

A peripheral interface system and apparatus including a pair of integrated circuits, referred to as a system adapter and a socket controller, use a communication protocol, referred to as a windowed-interchip-communication protocol, to interface peripherals, such as PCMCIA cards or infrared devices, and other subsystems having different formats with a CPU system bus. The system adapter communicates to a hard disk drive subsystem using the ATA communication standards to interface an ATA hard disk drive with the CPU system bus. Communication between the system adapter and the socket controller, which communicates with PCMCIA peripheral cards and IR peripherals, is accomplished using the windowed-interchip-communication protocol which may share hardware resources with other communication protocols. Communication between the system adapter and the hard disk drive and between the system adapter and the socket controller may be provided on the same chain of a standard 40 signal ribbon cable. Alternatively communication between an expansion board and a socket controller may be performed across a cable separate from the hard disk drives having a different signal line format.

A television system for displaying images having adjacent horizontal blocks with sharp contrast. In general, such sharp contrasts can cause the drive voltage (Hv) applied to an anode of a CRT display unit to change. The changes typically result in distortions in the displayed images. A correction logic is employed to regulate the voltage source that supplies the voltage to the anode of the CRT display unit. The correction logic examines the digital data representation of the images to determine the extent of contrast, and supplies a corresponding correction voltage to regulate the voltage source. Due to the correction voltage, a constant drive voltage is supplied to the anode. The distortions are thus minimized or eliminated.

A wired combinational logic arrangement responsive to N binary signal sources includes N circuits, one for each source. The circuits drive a common output terminal. Each circuit includes first and second devices for pulling the common terminal to first and second different voltages during successive abutting activation periods. The first device supplies a current to the common terminal that is considerably greater than the current supplied to the common terminal by the second device. The arrangement further includes a third device for pulling the common terminal to the second voltage at all times. The third device supplies a current to the common terminal that is either equal to or less than the current supplied by the second device.

An integrated circuit allows a user or system designer to program the length of a transaction cycle by programming the lengths of the setup time period, the command time period and the recovery time period, individually. An eight-bit register is used to store a two-bit prescaler value and a six-bit count value for each of the setup, command and recovery time periods. The value represented by the prescaler is then multiplied by the count value and the resulting value is input to a timer which counts down from the resulting value, signalling to a state machine when it has reached zero. A four-state state machine sends the command to begin each transaction cycle and each setup, command and recovery time period within each transaction cycle. The state machine is notified by the timer when the time period has elapsed for each of the three states so that it can send the signal to begin the next state. At the beginning of each command time period, the state machine also signals to the system that the command can be executed.
