  • Patent number: 11912274
    Abstract: A system comprises a computer having a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to access sensor data of a first sensor of a vehicle while an adaptive cruise control feature of the vehicle is active, detect, based on the sensor data of the first sensor, a stationary object located along a path of travel of the vehicle, wherein the stationary object is located outside of a range of a second sensor of the vehicle, determine a presence of an intersection within a threshold distance of the stationary object that is along the path of travel of the vehicle, and responsive to a determination that the stationary object is a stopped vehicle of the intersection, adjust, by the adaptive cruise control feature, the speed of the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20240026011
    Abstract: The invention relates to Conditional Bispecific Redirected Activation constructs, or COBRAs, that are administered in an active pro-drug format. Upon exposure to tumor proteases, the constructs are cleaved and activated, such that they can bind one or more tumor target antigens (TTAs) as well as CD3, thus recruiting T cells expressing CD3 to the tumor, resulting in treatment. In some embodiments, the tumor target antigen includes B7H3, CA9 (CAIX), EGFR, EpCAM, FOLR1, HER2, LyPD3, and/or Trop2.

  • Publication number: 20210397718
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for improving security of a silicon-based system by creating a glitch-resistant process for executing a software code block on the silicon-based system are disclosed. An example method may begin by marking the software code block as non-executable. Second, intent to execute the software code block is registered with a staging register. Third, the software code block is compressed into a compression constant. Fourth, the compression constant is compared with a first predetermined value using two comparators. Fifth, responsive to the comparators providing a true result after comparison, the software code block is marked as executable to allow the software code block to execute. In another aspect, the example method may be repeated for n>1 iterations, and in each iteration i, an ith software code block is compressed into an ith compression constant that is compared to an ith predetermined value.

  • Patent number: 10872154
    Abstract: A semiconductor chip device include device state fuses that may be used to configure various device states and corresponding security levels for the semiconductor chip as it transitions from wafer manufacturing to provisioned device. The device states and security levels prevent the semiconductor chip from being accessed and exploited, for example, during manufacturing testing. A secure boot flow process for a semiconductor chip over its lifecycle is also disclosed. The secure boot flow may start at the wafer manufacturing stage and continue on through the insertion of keys and firmware.

  • Patent number: 10728993
    Abstract: A driver circuit receiving wireless communication over a wireless network is disclosed. The driver circuit includes a lighting load, a main driver, and an auxiliary driver. The lighting load is selectively illuminated based on an output voltage being provided to the lighting load that is at least a forward voltage of the lighting load. The wireless communication is indicative of whether the lighting load is to be illuminated. The main driver is for controlling current and voltage within the driver circuit such that if the wireless communication indicates the lighting load is to be illuminated, then the current delivered to the lighting load is regulated by the main driver, and if the wireless communication indicates the lighting load is not to be illuminated, then the output voltage delivered to the lighting load is controlled by the main driver is below the forward voltage.
