20130044003 | Intrusion Detection and Communication - An intrusion detection system disclosed herein includes a detector circuit that measures a change in value of impedance of an interconnection circuitry. A decoder coupled to the detector decodes the measured value of the change in the impedance of the interconnection circuitry to determine existence of an abnormal condition. In an example implementation of the intrusion detection system, the change in the value of the impedance of the interconnection circuitry is represented by a change in the phase delay on the interconnection circuitry. An implementation of the intrusion detection circuit terminates communication using the interconnection circuitry upon detection of the abnormal condition. The intrusion detection system is further configured to interpret the abnormal condition as a communication signal to the interconnection circuitry. | 02-21-2013 |
20130044798 | Side Channel Communications - A side channel communications system disclosed herein includes a receiver device with an internal circuitry where the operational speed of the internal circuitry changes in response to an external signal. When the receiver device receives an external signal, the operational speed of the internal circuitry changes. A detector detects the change in the operational speed of the internal circuitry to generate an output value, which is decoded to determine the information communicated by the external signal. In one implementation of the side channel communications system, the external transmitter communicates the external signal in the form of a temperature signal. Alternatively, the external transmitter communicates the external signal in the form of a change in the supply voltage. | 02-21-2013 |

20090128511 | POINTING AND DATA ENTRY INPUT DEVICE - An input device includes an array of adjacent capacitive sensors arranged into rows and columns. Each capacitive sensor exhibits a capacitance characteristic when in proximity to a conductive element. A plurality of mechanical hysteresis mechanisms are each deposited on and in contact with each of the capacitive sensors and configured to be actuated by a corresponding push button. Each capacitive sensor exhibits an electrical characteristic upon actuation of the corresponding mechanical hysteresis mechanism. An insulating overlay layer positioned over the array of capacitive sensors and the plurality of mechanical hysteresis mechanisms defines each push button and defines a surface for accommodating the conductive element. | 05-21-2009 |
20100117931 | FUNCTIONAL IMAGE REPRESENTATION - A display apparatus described herein includes a display screen and a display processor. The display processor includes a plurality of function units that comprise functions that are representative of data that is desirably displayed on the display screen. The display processor is configured to receive configurations, compositions, and/or parameters for the plurality of function units. In addition, the display processor displays data on the display screen based at least in part upon output of the plurality of function units. | 05-13-2010 |
20110314041 | COMMUNITY AUTHORING CONTENT GENERATION AND NAVIGATION - One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for creating socially authored, or community authored, summaries of documents and/or for navigating a forum comprising such summaries. In one embodiment, at least some of the summaries are generated automatically when a document is written and/or discovered (e.g., by a web crawler), for example. In another embodiment, the documents are created by users of the forum. A plurality of summaries of a document may be created (e.g., by different users), and users can provide feedback, such as comments or ratings, that may assist other users in identifying which summary or summaries better describe the document. Moreover, the users can navigate the forum and retrieve summaries by browsing categories (and subcategories) to identify a topic of interest and/or by performing a search based upon user inputted search term(s). | 12-22-2011 |

20140310496 | Parallel Memories for Multidimensional Data Access - The subject disclosure is directed towards loading parallel memories (e.g., in one or more FPGAs) with multidimensional data in an interleaved manner such that a multidimensional patch/window may be filled with corresponding data in a single parallel read of the memories. Depending on the position of the patch, the data may be rotated horizontally and/or vertically, for example, so that the data in each patch is consistently arranged in the patch regardless of from which memory each piece of data was read. Also described is leveraging dual ported memory for multiple line reads and/or loading one part of a buffer while reading from another. | 10-16-2014 |

20110201516 | ASSAY FOR DETECTING CLOSELY-RELATED SEROTYPES OF HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS (HPV) - A real time Taq-Man PCR assay for detecting multiple serotypes of human papillomavirus (HPV) wherein the number of serotypes detected exceeds the number of colorimetric channels for detection. A biological sample is combined with three oligonucleotide primer/probe sets such that the probes and primers anneal to a target sequence. Each primer/probe set is at least preferential for a specific serotype of an organism. The first and second primer/probe sets are degenerate with respect to each other. The third primer/probe set is not degenerate with respect to the first and second primer/probe sets and discriminates for a third serotype. The third primer/probe set has a signal moiety that emits signal at a wavelength that is the same or different from the wavelength emitted by the signal moiety of the degenerate primer/probe set probes. The target sequences, if present, are amplified and detected. | 08-18-2011 |
