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.

Abstract: A pixel driving technique for an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display. A frame of image data is shifted into an OLED panel and activated for global illumination. During the time period of global illumination for the frame of image data, pixel data for a next frame of image data is buffered in a partial memory. After the period of global illumination for the frame of image data, the next frame of image data being buffered in the partial memory is read out of partial memory to the OLED panel and updates the previous frame of pixel data with the new pixel data.

Abstract: The disclosed technology includes techniques for allowing a contact to exercise control over a third party's sharing of the contact's mobile contact information with mobile applications. A contact may create an application contact key containing rules that govern when a third party may share the contact information with mobile applications. The application contact key may be stored in association with the contact information on a third party's mobile device, on a remote server, or as part of a social networking website. The application contact key may instruct the mobile device whether or not to share the contact information with a particular mobile application. Further, an application contact import management system may track all requests from various mobile applications to access the contact information, and may provide for a seamless future on-boarding experience in the event the contact later decides to accept a previously denied request to share the contact information.
Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for measuring consistency of animation and/or video rendering on a device, and providing a user with an indication of one or more consistency scores of the user's device. The consistency score indicates generally the consistency of user experience that is expected for the user device. In some cases, the consistency score is calculated based upon the differences in rendering times between adjacent frames in an animation, and/or the number of frames that have a render difference that differs from a standard or baseline value. A consistency score also may be based upon the framerate achievable by the device when rendering a video at a constant quality.
Abstract: Disk-backed array techniques can, in some implementations, help ensure that the arrays contain consistent data. An alert can be provided if it is determined that the data in the array is, or may be, corrupted.
