Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system (100) and a method for contextual tracking of label units (110) and optimizing energy consumption thereof. The system (100) includes one or more label units (110) being attached to a corresponding object (106), each label unit (110) having one or more sensors (116) that collect one or more tracking data, and being powered by a corresponding power supply unit (118).

Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC), including a functional circuit and a security system, is disclosed. The functional circuit generates a request packet for an indirect memory access of a memory. The security system validates the functional circuit based on a security attribute and a functional identifier of the functional circuit. Based on the request packet and the validation of the functional circuit, the security system identifies an instruction sequence associated with the indirect memory access. Further, the security system determines a type of the indirect memory access based on the instruction sequence, and validates the type of the indirect memory access based on the security attribute and the request packet. Based on the validation of the type of the indirect memory access, the instruction sequence is executed, thereby facilitating the indirect memory access for the functional circuit.

Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing wasted computational resources by detecting network operation validation anomalies in conglomerate-application-based ecosystems are disclosed. The system provides a first network operation to a first software application of a set of software applications, where (i) the first network operation is configured to be provided as input to the first software application and (ii) the first software application generates a second network operation as output, using the first network operation, to be provided to a second software application. The system receives a first message associated with a processing of the first network operation at the first software application. The system then performs a determined validation process on the first message. In response to detecting that the determined validation process results in a failure to validate the first message, the system prevents the second network operation from being provided to the second software application.
