The Power of the Pen 2007-12-01 Fujitsu

More than at any other time in the history of personal computing solutions, pen computing today provides performance and flexibility that is opening doors for all types of industries and users.

What used to be strictly a vertical technology, used primarily in healthcare and insurance, is becoming horizontal and finding a home in education, sales force automation, and a host of other applications. This transition is no coincidence. As more and more workers become mobile, the ease of use and accuracy provided by the pen is taking the industry by storm.

This white paper discusses why so many businesses today are deciding to take advantage of pen computing, its advantages over standard notebook computers, the industries that are best suited to pen computing, the types of form-factors and other choices available, and how pen-enabled computers can benefit all types of users and the types of work they do.

Analysis of the PASR Standard and Its Usability in Handheld Operating Systems Such as Linux 2007-09-25 Intel

With companies now producing Low Power DRAM for handhelds, a new feature was developed called Partial Array Self Refresh (PASR). This feature enables the DRAM to retain state in only part of memory, thus further reducing the self-refresh power. If handheld operating systems could use this feature, they could potentially add hours of battery life. This has not happened because the PASR footprint provided cannot be easily integrated into established OS memory management schemes. The PASR power savings below assumes that the handheld device consumes a total of 4mW in sleep mode with the entire DRAM self-refreshed.
