  • Publication number: 20250165615
    Abstract: A first processing sends a validation request is sent, which includes a random number seed and a nonce to a second processing device. The first processing device generates a first set of random numbers using the random number seed according to an algorithm for random number generation, and maps the generated first set of random numbers to memory blocks that include a copy of software for the second processing device. A first hash is calculated from contents of the mapped memory blocks concatenated to the nonce. A second hash, calculated using information included in the validation request, the mapping model, the software for the second processing device, and the nonce is received. An action is automatically performed when the hashes do not match.

  • Publication number: 20250167798
    Abstract: An oversampling analog-to-digital converter (ADC) may include a quantizer that adds an offset error to each oversampling sample. If not reduced, the offset error may limit the performance of the ADC. The existing methods to eliminate the offset may increase a circuit size and slow the operation of the ADC. An oversampling ADC that can reduce, or remove, the offset error is disclosed. The disclosed ADC can be small and fast and still remove the offset. Accordingly, the disclosed ADC may be used in high performance applications, such as a high-speed image sensor.

  • Publication number: 20250161650
    Abstract: A male or female orientated medical tubing or syringe connector that can be selectably locked in a threaded configuration or a breakaway configuration. The male connector includes opposing threaded sections and opposing non-threaded sections. The opposing threaded sections allow for the male connector's fully or partially threaded female counterpart to be screwed into place on attachment and unscrewed on detachment. The opposing unthreaded sections of the male connector allow for its partially threaded female counterpart to be engaged via a friction fit connection that does not require a screwing action. The male connector's opposing unthreaded sections also allows for its partially threaded female counterpart to be disengaged via a pulling force in the opposite direction of the male connector, which does not require an unscrewing action. This “breakaway” functionality helps to prevent patient harm if the patient's tubing becomes snagged.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for aerial localization in the absence of satellite (e.g., global navigation satellite system (GNSS)) signals while flying over heterogeneous environments. The present embodiments provide a training strategy for robust cross-seasonal image matching in complex, real-world environments. The challenge put forward is to successfully localize a UAV flying over both densely and sparsely populated areas by means of image registration. To this end, the focus of the present embodiments can be on devising loss components to a visual recognition network that adequately embeds the diverse feature types on the ground. A normalized error metric can be provided as well in order to render a conceptually different method comparable to the present approach. The present technical contributions can provide robust visual recognition algorithms in challenging natural environments.
