    Abstract: A scan flip-flop circuit includes a selection circuit including first and second input terminals coupled to first and second I/O nodes, a flip-flop circuit coupled to the selection circuit, a first driver coupled between the flip-flop circuit and the first I/O node, and a second driver coupled between the flip-flop circuit and the second I/O node. The selection circuit and drivers receive a scan direction signal. In response to a first logic level of the scan direction signal, the selection circuit responds to a first signal received at the first input terminal, and the second driver outputs a second signal responsive to a flip-flop circuit output signal. In response to a second logic level of the scan direction signal, the selection circuit responds to a third signal received at the second input terminal, and the first driver outputs a fourth signal responsive to the flip-flop circuit output signal.

  • Publication number: 20240070278
    Abstract: An Over-the-Air (OTA) method includes controlling the current state using a control state register. The method includes recording the current state and the hash algorithm. A sorting setter obtains a random number from a server. The method includes sorting the random numbers according to a preset sorting method to obtain a sorting parameter. A hash calculator uses the sorting parameter as the input of the hash algorithm. The hash algorithm outputs a device-side hash result and transmits the device-side hash result to the server through a transmission device. After the server receives the device-side hash result, it compares the device-side hash result with the server-side hash result calculated by the server.

  • Publication number: 20240027009
    Abstract: A quick coupling set includes a socket and a mating plug. The socket has a rotation-restraining structure while the mating plug has a mating rotation-restraining structure. In the coupling of the socket and the mating plug, the rotation-restraining structure of the socket only allow the rotation-restraining structure of the mating plug to relatively rotate in a rotation direction, so as to complete the coupling of the socket and the mating plug. Other plugs which do not match the socket lack of a rotation-restraining structure matching that of the socket, and cannot relatively rotate in the rotation direction with respect to the socket and cannot achieve any coupling with the socket, which results in the socket and the mating plug being protected against misconnection.
