  • Patent number: 12132764
    Abstract: Security policies can be dynamically updated in response to changes in endpoints associated with those policies. A user can indicate one or more regions or networks from which access is to be granted under a specific security policy. The user can subscribe to receive notifications upon a change relating to those endpoints, such as the addition or removal of one or more endpoints. When a change is detected, new policy information can be generated automatically and published for subscribed policies, which can then have the updates applied automatically or provided for manual review and application. Such a process enables access determinations to be made based upon up-to-date endpoint information.

  • Patent number: 12132735
    Abstract: Techniques are described for a domain-specific language and associated framework for implementing analyses of security, operational, or functional properties involving computing resources. The specification language enables users to readily define the semantics of a set of cross-resource relations of interest using a human-readable language. For example, the language enables users to express properties over computing resources based on a user-defined set of cross-resource relations. The specification language is human-readable, allowing users to easily add new cross-resource relations or to modify existing relations and properties, thereby enabling users to readily modify existing analyses or to create new ones entirely.

  • Patent number: 12130885
    Abstract: To take advantage of the architecture of a systolic array tailored to perform sparse matrix multiplications, a weight matrix can be converted into a set of constrained fine-grained sparse weight matrices. The conversion process may include receiving a request to perform a matrix multiplication operation with a weight matrix, and determining that the weight matrix satisfies a sparsity condition to convert the weight matrix into a set of constrained fine-grained sparse weight matrices. The weight matrix can then be converted into a set of constrained fine-grained sparse weight matrices. Computer instructions can then be generated for an integrated circuit device to perform the requested matrix multiplication operation as a set of sparse matrix multiplication operations using the set of constrained fine-grained sparse weight matrices.

  • Patent number: 12132028
    Abstract: A semiconductor package can include a capacitance die. The package can have multiple dice (e.g., logic die, memory die) mounted on a substrate. Each die can include a power domain. The dice can be distributed on the substrate such that an extra space is present on the substrate between at least some of the dice. For example, an extra space may be present between two dice, at a corner of the substrate, or other locations. The extra space can disrupt a coplanarity of the semiconductor package. The capacitance die can be located in the extra space so as to establish the coplanarity with the other dice. The capacitance die can include a capacitor array electrically coupled to multiple power domains of the plurality of dice.

  • Patent number: 12131539
    Abstract: Cameras having storage fixtures within their fields of view are programmed to capture images and process clips of the images to generate sets of features representing product spaces and actors depicted within such images, and to classify the clips as depicting or not depicting a shopping event. Where consecutive clips are determined to depict a shopping event, features of such clips are combined into a sequence and transferred, along with classifications of the clips and a start time and end time of the shopping event, to a multi-camera system. A shopping hypothesis is generated based on such sequences of features received from cameras, along with information regarding items detected within the hands of such actors, to determine a summary of shopping activity by an actor, and to update a record of items associated with the actor accordingly.

  • Publication number: 20240356985
    Abstract: A connection-based service impersonates request-based security for requests from clients that do not include credentials for the requests (e.g., data plane requests made via a connection-oriented security). A connection between a client and a connection-based service is established based on connection credentials that are based on security credentials from a request-based security service. The credentials are sent by a security component of the service to a local agent of the remote security service to be authenticated by the security service. An impersonation token is returned by the security service and cached by the local agent. Requests from the client to perform operations do not include credentials. For each request, the service passes an identifier for the client and the operation to a local authorization component that calls the agent for authorization of the requested operation. The agent uses the impersonation token to obtain authorization for the requested operation.

  • Patent number: 12125050
    Abstract: Requests to perform activity with respect to a customer account can be monitored to attempt to detect fraudulent activity due to compromised customer credentials or other unauthorized access. The unauthorized party can request actions such as to create a new account, mount a snapshot of customer data, and exfiltrate the customer data. Various embodiments monitor such requests and permissions granted to accounts not directly owned by a customer, and can apply automatic mitigations for suspicious activity in order to reduce the risk of exposing data to unauthorized accounts. Such an offering determines mitigations to perform, such as to block, alert, rate limit, or terminate the linked or non-linked account based on account reputation. The detection mechanism can use various heuristics to make mitigation decisions, as may consider factors such as account age, geolocation, access history, device fingerprint, network domain, payment type, prior suspicious activity, and the like.
