  • Patent number: 10152410
    Abstract: Technologies are generally described manage MRAM cache writes in processors. In some examples, when a write request is received with data to be stored in an MRAM cache, the data may be evaluated to determine whether the data is to be further processed. In response to a determination that the data is to be further processed, the data may be stored in a write cache associated with the MRAM cache. In response to a determination that the data is not to be further processed, the data may be stored in the MRAM cache.

  • Patent number: 10140639
    Abstract: Technologies are generally provided to integrate hardware accelerators in datacenters. In some examples, a datacenter customer may provide a hardware accelerator configuration to be implemented at a datacenter. The hardware accelerator configuration may include, for example, one or more customer accelerator blocks and one or more accelerator blocks. The datacenter may retrieve the accelerator block(s), integrate the accelerator block(s) with the customer accelerator block(s) to form the hardware accelerator, and then implement the hardware accelerator.

  • Publication number: 20180330084
    Abstract: Technologies are generally described for systems, devices and methods effective to detect a potential attack on a memory of a memory device. In some examples, a processor may send a request to the memory device. The request may include a request for information that relates to memory writes to the memory of the memory device. The processor may receive a response from the memory device. The response may include the information that relates to the memory writes. The processor may determine, based on the response, an amount of memory of the memory device written to during an interval of time. The processor may detect the potential attack based on the amount of memory written to and based on the interval of time. The processor may then generate an alert based on the detection of the potential attack.

  • Patent number: 10123126
    Abstract: Techniques described herein generally include methods and systems related to a MEMS-based audio speaker system configured with multiple speaker devices to generate an audio signal that is substantially without a high-band ultrasonic signal. Energy may be transferred to a low frequency sideband of the audio signal output and substantially eliminated from the high frequency sideband of the audio signal by passing an acoustic carrier signal through two different modulators. One modulator may implement a first modulation function on the acoustic carrier signal to generate a first audio signal, where the first modulation function may be based on a target acoustic output signal for the MEMS-based audio speaker system. The second modulator may implement a second modulation function on the acoustic carrier signal to generate a second audio signal, where the second audio signal may be the Hilbert transform of the first audio signal.

  • Patent number: 10116970
    Abstract: Technologies are generally described for distribution of video over time-varying channels. A video processing module may encode a stream of video frames into a number of groups-of-pictures (GOPs), each GOP including multiple sub-groups-of-pictures (sub-GOPs) that may each be relatively self-contained. The video processing module may divide the encoded video frames into different blocks, and may assign different priorities to the different blocks based on how important the individual blocks are to the reconstruction of a sub-GOP, a GOP, or the stream of encoded video frames, including alternative blocks that make each sub-GOP entirely self-contained for the purpose of decoding in the event of severe losses of blocks from previous sub-GOPs. The video processing module may then provide the blocks to a client device based on the priority of the blocks, the connection quality of the client device, and occurrence of previous losses, for example.

  • Publication number: 20180299951
    Abstract: Technologies are generally described to provide alternate user interfaces based on user context. In some examples, a user interface system may measure a user characteristic associated with a particular user interface type. The user interface system may then determine whether the measured user characteristic is suitable for use as a user interface input, for example by comparison with a baseline user characteristic. Upon determination that the measured user characteristic is suitable, the user interface system may use the measured user characteristic for user interface purposes. On the other hand, upon determination that the measured user characteristic is not suitable, the user interface system may use a different user interface type to attempt to receive user inputs.

  • Patent number: 10104497
    Abstract: Technologies are generally described for detecting proximity of a client device to a base station in a wireless communication system. Example base station may include a proximity detector and an operation mode controller. The proximity detector may analyze a property of a signal transmitted by a client device to detect an envelope of the signal including a buzz-type waveform. If the envelope of the signal is determined to include a buzz-type waveform, the client device is determined to be within communication range of the base station. Further, the operation mode controller may convert a current operation mode of the base station to a particular operation mode that enables the base station to support communication by the client device. In some embodiments, the buzz-type waveform may be a waveform of an uplink control signal that is transmitted by the client device when it is not actively engaged in communication.
