20140047174 | SECURE DATA PROTECTION WITH IMPROVED READ-ONLY MEMORY LOCKING DURING SYSTEM PRE-BOOT - Generally, this disclosure provides methods and systems for secure data protection with improved read-only memory locking during system pre-boot including protection of Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) tables. The methods may include selecting a region of system memory to be protected, the selection occurring in response to a system reset state and performed by a trusted control block (TCB) comprising a trusted basic input/output system (BIOS); programming an address decoder circuit to configure the selected region as read-write; moving data to be secured to the selected region; programming the address decoder circuit to configure the selected region as read-only; and locking the read-only configuration in the address decoder circuit. | 02-13-2014 |
20140089573 | METHOD FOR ACCESSING MEMORY DEVICES PRIOR TO BUS TRAINING - Embodiments of the invention describe apparatuses, systems and methods for enabling memory device access prior to bus training, thereby enabling firmware image storage in non-flash nonvolatile memory, such as DDR DRAM. The increasing size of firmware images, such as BIOS, MRC, and ME firmware, makes current non-volatile storage solutions, such as SPI flash memory, impractical; executing BIOS code in flash is slow, and having a separate non-volatile memory device increases device costs. Furthermore, solutions such as Cache-as-RAM, which are utilized for running the pre-memory BIOS code, are limited by the cache size that is not scalable to the increasing complexity of BIOS code. | 03-27-2014 |
20150161037 | FAST CACHE FLUSH - Apparatus, systems, and methods to manage memory operations are described. In one example, a controller comprises logic to receive a first transaction to operate on a first data element in a volatile memory, determine whether the first data element is to be stored in a nonvolatile memory, and in response to a determination that the first data element is to be stored in a nonvolatile memory, to forward the first transaction to the memory controller coupled to the nonvolatile memory. Other examples are also disclosed and claimed. | 06-11-2015 |

20130113999 | METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIA FOR DETECTING SCENE CHANGES IN A VIDEO - A method, system and computer-readable media for detecting scene changes in a video that includes providing by one or more computing devices a plurality of passes through the video where a plurality of detected scenes from a first pass in a conventional method are identified and a second pass through the detected scenes are provided by the computing device. A plurality of scene boundary differences corresponding to the detected scenes, a fixed average, and a varying average are computed by the computing device. The scene boundary difference is compared with the fixed average and the varying average and if the scene boundary difference is less than the fixed average and the varying average, the detected scenes are combined else the detected scene being an abrupt scene change is determined. The steps of computing a varying average to combining the detected scenes are repeated by the computing device. | 05-09-2013 |
20130156255 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PERFORMING TRANSCODING RESISTANT WATERMARKING - A method for performing transcoding resistant watermarking of digital media content is provided. The method enables obtaining a plurality of spectral frequency bands of the digital media content. The method further enables calculating an entropy value for each of the plurality of spectral frequency bands. The entropy value quantifies information in each of the plurality of spectral frequency bands. The method further enables selecting a spectral frequency band from amongst the plurality of spectral frequency bands based on the calculation. The selected spectral frequency band has the highest entropy. Furthermore, the method enables inserting a watermark in the selected spectral frequency band of the digital media content. | 06-20-2013 |
20150086067 | METHODS FOR SCENE BASED VIDEO WATERMARKING AND DEVICES THEREOF - A method, device and non-transitory computer readable medium for scene based video watermarking. Methods are disclosed to detect the scenes inside the video. Disclosed devices and methods are capable of scene change detection for both, gradual and abrupt scenes. Methods are also disclosed to group logical scenes in a video. The disclosed methods are aided with methods to reduce the computational time taken for scene change detection. Watermarks are created and segmented using a plurality of unique identifiers to limit any unauthorized use of the video. | 03-26-2015 |

20130143540 | SMARTPHONE WITH DETACHABLE INPUT AND OUTPUT (I/O) COMPONENTS (DIOC) - Embodiments of the present invention provide a mobile device comprising a core phone with a detachable primary device. The core phone transfers an incoming call alert to the detached primary device by synchronizing the display frame buffer of the core phone with the display frame buffer associated with the detached primary device. A plurality of remote secondary devices can be paired with the core phone on request by said secondary devices to transfer an incoming call alert to said plurality of secondary devices and establish a connection after authorization with said detached primary device. The detachable primary device is usable by pairing with the core phone when the core phone is not used directly but remains in the vicinity. Important data in the primary device is synchronized with the core phone to avoid data loss when the primary device is accidentally dropped or lost or damaged. | 06-06-2013 |
20130185780 | COMPUTER IMPLEMENTED METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR GENERATING A ONE TIME PASSWORD - This technology provides methods, non-transitory computer readable medium and apparatuses that generate a OneTime Password (OTP) such that no hardware token is used. The technology uses some functions and parameters generated and transmitted to the client machine, by the server. The server generates a token for each session, cyclic groups G | 07-18-2013 |
20130236046 | METHOD, SYSTEM, AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM FOR DETECTING LEAKAGE OF A VIDEO - The present invention relates to a computer-implemented method, system and computer readable medium for detecting source of leakage of a video. The method comprises processing a video by a processing device resulting a processed video, identifying at least one responsible user for safekeeping and/or distributing and/or screening the processed video, creating a watermark wherein the watermark comprises an information about an owner of the video, the responsible user, and at least one transaction information, embedding the watermark inside the processed video resulting a watermarked video, distributing the watermarked video to at least one consumer, and identifying the responsible user by extracting the watermark from a pirated copy of the watermarked video and extracting the information contained in the watermark from the watermarked video. | 09-12-2013 |
