  • Publication number: 20220417003
    Abstract: A method of multi-party computation, for processing and secure handing of a plurality of data associated with one or more users, comprising the steps of: providing a predetermined multi-party computation algorithm; each user being able to send a first dataset to a data processing unit via a respective second data processing unit distinct from the first data processing unit and in signal communication with the first data processing unit; each first dataset being associated with the user and comprising one or more encrypted numerical values; processing each first dataset that has been sent using at least one reference function residing in the first data processing unit to generate a respective encrypted result for each reference function; requesting the first data processing unit to send the result using a predetermined function shared by the users and a respective second data processing unit sending the result to the second requesting data processing unit; wherein the step of sending the first dataset comprise

  • Patent number: 9239379
    Abstract: A method for processing signals received by a plurality of receiving antennas in a radar system, for example for road safety, which emits sequences of chirp-modulated signals, wherein the received signals are mixed with local replicas of the transmitted signals so as to generate, for each receiving antenna, a sequence of detection signals. The detection signals are subjected to Fourier-transform processing and beam-forming processing for generating values of range, azimuth, and speed for at least one obstacle or “target” detected by the radar system. The method includes an acquisition process for yielding approximate values of range and azimuth of the obstacle, and a tracking process for yielding accurate range, azimuth and speed values of the obstacle itself.

  • Patent number: 8370718
    Abstract: A method is for identifying a flash memory device coupled to a host device. The flash memory device may have a page size from possible page sizes, bootstrap code stored on a first sector thereof, and a data bus for accessing data stored in the flash memory device and with a data bus size from possible data bus sizes. The method may include reading data stored in a first page of the first sector as if the flash memory device had an assumed page size and an assumed data bus size, and reading content from memory locations where error correction code (ECC) bytes of the first page are stored if the flash memory device has the assumed page size and checking whether the ECC bytes include more than a number of errors associated with the assumed page size. The method may also include if the ECC bytes do not include more than the number of errors, generating a flag signal that the flash memory device has the assumed page size and the assumed data bus size.
