  • Patent number: 11861046
    Abstract: A system may include a cryptographic accelerator to generate a first check value based on a payload received in a message, and provide the first check value to a first comparator and to a second comparator. The system may include the first comparator to receive the first check value from the cryptographic accelerator, determine whether the first check value matches a second check value, the second check value being a check value received in the message, and provide a first output indicating whether the first check value matches the second check value. The system may include the second comparator to receive the first check value from the cryptographic accelerator, determine whether the first check value matches the second check value, and provide a second output indicating whether the first check value matches the second check value.

  • Patent number: 11626995
    Abstract: A cryptographic accelerator may include an input buffer to store an additional authenticated data (AAD) portion of a message and a plain text portion of the message. The cryptographic accelerator may include a cryptographic engine to generate cipher text using the plain text portion of the message, generate a message authentication code (MAC) using the AAD portion and either the plain text portion or the cipher text, determine a configuration for creating an assembled message in an output buffer of the cryptographic accelerator, and provide at least the cipher text to the output buffer to create the assembled message in the output buffer according to the configuration. The cryptographic accelerator may include the output buffer to provide the assembled message.

  • Patent number: 8462966
    Abstract: An apparatus for calculating filter coefficients for a predefined loudspeaker arrangement has a multi-channel renderer. The multi-channel renderer calculates a filter coefficient for each loudspeaker of a virtual loudspeaker arrangement, being different from the predefined loudspeaker arrangement, based on a property (e.g. position or type) of a virtual source of an audio object to be reproduced by the predefined loudspeaker arrangement. Further, the multi-channel renderer determines an adapted filter coefficient for a loudspeaker of the predefined loudspeaker arrangement based on one or more calculated filter coefficients of one or more loudspeakers of the different virtual loudspeaker arrangement.

  • Patent number: 5935287
    Abstract: A gob delivery apparatus in which gobs of molten glass are conducted from a gob feeder through a gob delivery system into a mold of an I.S. glassware forming machine. The gob delivery system includes a scoop, a substantially flat slide member and a deflector. The scoop catches the gobs and directs them downwardly at an angle. The slide member is supported fixedly on the machine and includes a downwardly angled upper slide surface for the gobs. An upper end of the deflector receives the gobs directly from a lower end of the slide member.

  • Patent number: 5846283
    Abstract: Gobs of molten glass fall in succession into a scoop which can be swivelled about a vertical axis and which supplies gobs to a delivery system, for example, of an I.S. glassware forming machine. The gobs travel along a path of movement from the scoop to a trough in free flight and to a deflector which is downwardly curved. The deflector delivers the gobs so that their longitudinal axis lies coaxially with respect to the longitudinal axis of a mold which is to be charged. The trough has its upper end supported by means of a universal joint. The lower end of the trough is guided in a vertical chute of the deflector and can be raised and lowered by means of an adjustment device.

  • Patent number: 5599370
    Abstract: Gobs of molten glass fall in succession into a scoop which can be swivelled about a vertical axis and which supplies gobs to subsequent multiple delivery systems, for example, of an I.S. glassware forming machine. The gobs travel along a path of movement from the scoop in free flight to a sliding member, from this in free flight to a trough, and from this again in free flight to a deflector which is downwardly curved. The deflector delivers the gobs so that their longitudinal axis lies coaxially with respect to the longitudinal axis of a mold which is to be charged. The sliding member is supported to be fixed relative to the machine. The trough has its upper end supported by means of a universal joint on the sliding member. The lower end of the trough is guided in a vertical chute of the deflector and can be raised and lowered by means of an adjustment device.
