  • Patent number: 8138914
    Abstract: A method and a system for securing a device in a single embodiment or in some embodiments, the system comprises a remote module which comprises a switch electrically connected to an electrical input or at electrical output of the device, a serial link comprising a first attribute and configured to connect to at least some of the plurality of portions of the device, and a panel control logic module operatively coupled to the switch, wherein the panel control logic module is configured to issue a first instruction to actuate the switch based at least in part upon a result of checking the first attribute of the serial link. In the single embodiment or in some embodiments, the system comprises a control center comprising a command control logic module and a communication interface configured for wired or wireless communication between the control center and the remote module.

  • Patent number: 6771111
    Abstract: A precision analog exponentiation circuit includes a precision analog exponentiation circuit includes a first transistor coupled to a reference current for generating a voltage at the first transistor, a second transistor coupled to the first transistor for generating an output current, a variable current source coupled to the first transistor and the second transistor for generating a sum of the reference current and the output current in response to a feedback signal, and a feedback amplifier coupled to the first transistor for generating the feedback signal wherein the variable current source maintains the voltage at the first transistor substantially equal to a reference voltage so that the output current is substantially equal to an exponential function of a control voltage coupled to the first transistor and the second transistor.
