20120204040AUTHENTICATING FERROELECTRIC RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY (F-RAM) DEVICE AND METHOD - An F-RAM authenticating memory device and method providing secure mutual authentication between a Host system and a memory in order to gain read/write access to the F-RAM user memory contents. The device and technique of the present invention uses an Advanced Encryption Standard AES128 encryption module in conjunction with a true hardware random number generator and basic exclusive OR (XOR) functions in order to achieve a secure algorithm with a relatively small amount of processing. Due to inherently faster write times than that of conventional floating gate non-volatile memory technologies, the use of F-RAM significantly reduces the time available to interfere with a critical security parameter (CSP) update. Moreover, unlike floating gate technologies, F-RAM's read vs. write current signature is balanced making it less prone to side channel attacks while also providing relatively faster erase times.08-09-2012

20080275598Trajectory Estimation System for an Orbiting Satellite - In one embodiment of the disclosure, a computing system includes a processor and a computer readable medium. The computer readable medium is operable to, when executed on the processor, determine an estimated trajectory of a satellite using a sequential mode of operation, perform a thruster burn, receive a data point from an uplink/downlink facility, determine an estimated trajectory and an estimated thruster performance of the satellite based upon the received data point. If the trajectory error is above a specified threshold level, repeat receiving an updated data point from the uplink/downlink facility, determining an updated estimated trajectory and an updated estimated thruster performance of the satellite based upon the updated data point, and determining an updated trajectory error based upon the updated data point.11-06-2008
