  • Patent number: 10708290
    Abstract: An information handling system performs a method for analyzing attacks against a networked system of information handling systems. The method includes detecting a threat indicator, representing the threat indicator in part by numerical parameters, normalizing the numerical parameters, calculating one or more measures of association between the threat indicator and other threat indicators, finding an association of the threat indicator with another threat indicator based upon the normalized numerical parameters, and assigning to the threat indicator a probability that a threat actor group caused the attack, wherein the threat actor group was assigned to the other threat indicator.

In some embodiments, the normalizing may include transforming a distribution of the numerical parameters to a distribution with a standard deviation of 1 and a mean of 0. In some embodiments, the normalizing may include applying an empirical cumulative distribution function.

  • Publication number: 20190353713
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods that allow for automatic detection of the highest available cell voltage and/or location of the top voltage in a battery stack, in real-time, without having to use separate, dedicated PCBs for different battery stack configurations, and without having to manually configure PCBs based on the number of cells each battery stack has. In certain embodiments, automatic detection is accomplished by a software-configurable battery management circuit that supports any battery pack size without the need to perform hardware modifications or the added cost of customizing boards for battery stacks that have different numbers of cells. In addition, a novel diode-OR analog multiplexer circuit allows the chip to be powered prior to the selection of the top cell.

  • Publication number: 20190317868
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for real-time fault detection in electrical circuits. Various embodiments provide a fault detection circuit that uses a resistor network that is controlled to detect an internal current leak in multiple directions, e.g., to ground or to a power supply. The magnitude of the leakage current may be estimated from voltage measurements at voltage pins. In addition, as part of circuit diagnostics, open and short circuit fault conditions may be identified by using current sources and measuring deflections at the voltage pins.

  • Publication number: 20190312549
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods that reduce settling time in amplifier circuits, such as voltage sense amplifiers (VSA) or current sense amplifiers (CSA) circuits, that comprise a feedback path. When the feedback path is interrupted via a switch, a CSA circuit switches to open loop. A sample-and-hold circuit holds the output voltage of the amplifier, such that when a load is connected to the CSA circuit, the open loop settling time, which is shorter than the closed loop settling time, is allowed to pass before the CSA output voltage is measured, thereby, advantageously preventing any potential disturbance present at the CSA output from being fed back to the CSA input.

  • Patent number: 10398966
    Abstract: A method of automatically generating a calibration file for a card handling device comprises automatically generating a calibration file stored in memory of a main control system for a card handling device. Automatically generating the calibration file comprises identifying at least one parameter associated with a rank area around a rank of at least a portion of the card, identifying at least one parameter associated with a suit area around a suit of the at least a portion of the card, and storing the at least one parameter associated with the rank area and the at least one parameter associated with the suit area in the calibration file. Additionally, a method of automatically generating deck libraries for one or more decks of cards comprises automatically generating a plurality of master images for the cards of the first deck type using the parameters from the calibration file.

  • Patent number: 10241507
    Abstract: A robotic system that includes a mobile robot and a remote input device. The input device may be a joystick that is used to move a camera and a mobile platform of the robot. The system may operate in a mode where the mobile platform moves in a camera reference coordinate system. The camera reference coordinate system is fixed to a viewing image provided by the camera so that movement of the robot corresponds to a direction viewed on a screen. This prevents disorientation during movement of the robot if the camera is panned across a viewing area.
