  • Publication number: 20190364036
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates systems, apparatus, and methods for security devices, in particular, low-power, security devices and other devices. The devices typically connect to the Internet or other networks only on an intermittent, event-based basis, typically by cellular modem. The invention meets a need for security devices, as well as other devices, that can connect to the Internet and other networks but that are low-power and/or intermittently connected to networks such as the Internet on an intermittent and/or on demand basis. This renders them more secure, less susceptible to hacking and other attacks, less prone to continuously gathering data that a user might consider to be superfluous and/or invasive in terms of data collected, and can make them low-power, thus allowing them to run on battery for long periods of time.

  • Publication number: 20090089472
    Abstract: A memory access device includes logic to switch data from a processor memory bus to a memory bus in a first operational mode, and to switch data from a test bus to the memory bus in a second operational mode, and logic to switch address signals from the processor memory bus to the memory bus in the first operational mode. In the second operational mode the device accepts from the test bus a starting memory address for memory reads and writes, and automatically and independently of the test bus adjusts a memory address for reads and writes during burst memory operations.
