Abstract: Embodiments include a computing device that executes software routines and/or one or more machine-learning architectures including a neural network-based embedding extraction system that to produce an embedding vector representing a user's behavior's keypresses, where the system extracts the behaviorprint embedding vector using the keypress features that the system references later for authenticating users. Embodiments may extract and evaluate keypress features, such as keypress sequences, keypress pressure or volume, and temporal keypress features, such as the duration of keypresses and the interval between keypresses, among others. Some embodiments employ a deep neural network architecture that generates a behaviorprint embedding vector representation of the keypress duration and interval features that is used for enrollment and at inference time to authenticate users.

Abstract: A system and method for accurately determining a distance between two network devices using a Channel Sounding application is disclosed. The network devices each guarantee a fixed phase relationship between the transmit circuit and the receive circuit. In one embodiment, this is achieved by disposing the divider outside the phase locked loop and using the output of the divider to create the clocks for both the transmit circuit and receive circuit. In another embodiment, one or more dividers are disposed outside the phase locked loop, each having a reset, such that they can be initialized to a predetermined state. Further, by utilizing a divider with a reset, the quadrature signal generator is guaranteed to output clocks for the transmit circuit and the receive circuit that have a constant phase relationship.

Abstract: A gaming machine, system, method, and program product provide a new slot machine game in which a gaming continuum displays advancement toward a highest state. The gaming continuum and includes a game activation display function that, based on a random selection associated with a wager activation, either partially advances the gaming continuum or totally advances the gaming continuum, the gaming continuum entering a decay state after each game outcome. The decay state includes displaying an advancing level of the gaming continuum decreasing toward an initial state. If a wager activation occurs before the initial state is reached, the level of the continuum is used as the starting state of the subsequent game round.

Abstract: A crystal driver circuit for driving a crystal to oscillate at a resonant frequency including an amplifier having an input coupled to an amplifier input node and having an output coupled to an amplifier output node, a current source that provides a core bias current to the amplifier, a first tune capacitor coupled between the amplifier output node and a reference node, and a second tune capacitor coupled between the amplifier input node and the reference node. The first tune capacitor has a first capacitance that is greater than a second capacitance of the second tune capacitor by a capacitance offset that reduces frequency shift during operation. The first and second capacitances have a combined capacitance that achieves an oscillating signal having a target frequency.

Abstract: An integrated circuit includes an energy detection circuit, a switching circuit, and a tamper response circuit. The integrated circuit has an input for receiving a radio frequency (RF) signal, a first output for providing a demodulated signal, and a second output for selectively providing a detect signal. The detect signal is provided in response to detecting that an energy of an internal signal exceeds a first threshold when the integrated circuit is in a secure mode. The switching circuit is used to alternatively switch the input of the energy detection circuit to an RF input terminal in a normal mode and to an internal antenna in a secure mode. The tamper response circuit disables a function of the integrated circuit in response to an activation of the detect signal in the secure mode.

Abstract: A robust and fast background calibration technique for correction of time-interleaved ADC offset, gain, bandwidth, and timing mismatches is proposed. The technique combines the use of a calibration signal and a reference ADC. The calibration signal enhances robustness and makes the technique independent of the input signal's statistics. The reference ADC speeds up convergence and enables the use of a small amplitude calibration signal that does not significantly reduce the input signal dynamic range. The calibration signal can be subtracted or filtered from the ADC output and is therefore invisible to the ADC user.
