  • Patent number: 11321510
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, apparatus, and computer program products for generating an insertion netlist for a target circuit configured for inserting a malicious design alteration into the circuit based on a design identifying reference trigger nets. Features are extracted for each net identified in a netlist for the circuit. A set of reference trigger features is generated for each of the reference trigger nets. A net is selected from the netlist for each set of reference trigger features based on a similarity between the features of the net and the set of reference trigger features. The insertion netlist is generated that includes the circuit with the malicious design alteration inserted at each of the selected nets.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10091466
    Abstract: Visual perception determination assistance system and method. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, at an electronic computing device, a primary video or still image from an imaging device; receiving, at the electronic computing device, at least one vision impact parameter from at least one sensor device, the at least one vision impact parameter being indicative of an ability of an observer to visually perceive a scene captured in the primary video or still image; storing the primary video or still image and the at least one vision impact parameter in a memory; identifying, by a processor electrically coupled to the memory, a timing correlation between the primary video or still image and the at least one vision impact parameter; and storing the timing correlation in the memory.
