Patent number: 11562063Abstract: Disclosed embodiments relate to encoded inline capabilities. In one example, a system includes a trusted execution environment (TEE) to partition an address space within a memory into a plurality of compartments each associated with code to execute a function, the TEE further to assign a message object in a heap to each compartment, receive a request from a first compartment to send a message block to a specified destination compartment, respond to the request by authenticating the request, generating a corresponding encoded capability, conveying the encoded capability to the destination compartment, and scheduling the destination compartment to respond to the request, and subsequently, respond to a check capability request from the destination compartment by checking the encoded capability and, when the check passes, providing a memory address to access the message block, and, otherwise, generating a fault, wherein each compartment is isolated from other compartments.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2020Date of Patent: January 24, 2023Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Michael Lemay, David M. Durham, Michael E. Kounavis, Barry E. Huntley, Vedvyas Shanbhogue, Jason W. Brandt, Josh Triplett, Gilbert Neiger, Karanvir Grewal, Baiju Patel, Ye Zhuang, Jr-Shian Tsai, Vadim Sukhomlinov, Ravi Sahita, Mingwei Zhang, James C. Farwell, Amitabh Das, Krishna Bhuyan

Patent number: 10598811Abstract: The present disclosure relates to materials, devices, systems, and processes for magnetic identification of an object. Embodiments may include receiving from a plurality of sensors arranged within a layer of material an indication of a strength or signature of a magnetic field proximate to the corresponding sensor. The magnetic field may be created by the arrangement of one or more magnets proximate to a surface of the object where the surface is proximate to the plurality of sensors. Embodiments may include determining, based upon the indication of the strength or signature of the magnetic field proximate to the corresponding sensor, an arrangement of magnets proximate to the surface of the object. Based on the determined arrangement of the magnets on the surface of the object, the process may include identifying the object or the surface of the object. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2017Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Anne P. McClard, Aaren B. Esplin, James C.
