  • Patent number: 11177935
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media directed to optimizing the generation, evaluation, and selection of tensor circuit specifications for a tensor circuit to perform homomorphic encryption operations on encrypted data. A computing device having an improved compiler and runtime configuration can obtain a tensor circuit and associated schema. The computing device can map the obtained tensor circuit to an equivalent tensor circuit, adapted to perform fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) operations, and instantiated based on the obtained associated scheme. The computing device can then monitor a flow of data through the equivalent FHE-adapted tensor circuit utilizing various tensor circuit specifications determined therefor.

  • Patent number: 11175876
    Abstract: Multiple display infotainment systems in vehicles provide various options for drivers and passengers to interact with elements on the multiple displays. Techniques include accessing historical driver information that includes previous or typical driver preferences and actions while operating the vehicle. Driving context information and driver state information are received describing the conditions in and around the vehicle. When a signal indicates that an interactive element should be presented to the driver or a passenger, an adaptive rule-based system uses the contextual information and previous history to determine a score for each interaction element. The score and they type of interaction required by the element are then used to determine a location on the multiple displays for presenting the interactive element.

  • Patent number: 11177875
    Abstract: Various arrangements are presented for optimizing data transmission between a satellite and a user equipment. A satellite gateway system may receive a message from the user equipment indicative of a current location of the user equipment. Data may be retrieved from the Internet to be transmitted to the user equipment via the satellite. The satellite gateway system may transmit a downlink message to the satellite that comprises the retrieved data and beam steering data. The beam steering data may instruct the satellite to target a downlink spot beam on the current location of the user equipment based on the message received from the user equipment. The retrieved data may be transmitted to the user equipment via the targeted downlink spot beam.

  • Patent number: 11172819
    Abstract: Multiple wireless sensor assemblies are individually attached to standard biopotential electrodes, which are placeable on a subject's body at locations for biopotential signal recording. The sensor assemblies, which are electrically isolated, simultaneously measure potential voltages from the body sites in accordance with a synchronization. The measured signals are amplified, digitized, and filtered, and then sent wirelessly to a monitoring system. The monitoring system receives multiple sensor signals and constructs biopotential vectors depending on the placement and number of the sensors. The sensor signals are referenced to a common virtual center bias to synthesize a common mode rejection.

  • Patent number: 11177393
    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes two different types of embedded memories, with cells that have different retention characteristics, and situated in different areas of the substrate. In some applications the cells are both non-volatile memories sharing a common gate layer but with different oxide layers, different thicknesses, etc. The first type of cell is a conventional flash cell which can be part of a logic/memory region, while the second type of cell uses capacitive coupling and can be located in a high voltage region. Because of their common features, the need for additional masks, manufacturing steps, etc. can be mitigated.

  • Patent number: 11178157
    Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing data and source validation for equipment output data and/or for equipment failure predict. In various embodiments, in response to receiving a first request for first data that is output by first equipment, a computing system might retrieve and analyze the first data to determine whether the first data can be trusted. If so, the computing system might send the first data to the requesting device. If not, the computing system might send a second request for identifying a blockchain containing a block containing a copy of the first data. In response to the blockchain system identifying such a blockchain, the computing system might receive the identified blockchain; might abstract the block containing the copy of the first data from the identified blockchain; might abstract the first data from the block; and might send the first data to the requesting device.

  • Patent number: 11178440
    Abstract: The present technology relates to a data processing apparatus and a data processing method that enable correct clock synchronization by use of clock information. The data processing apparatus receives a digital broadcast signal so as to process content included in the digital broadcast signal and clock information also included therein for use in presentation synchronization on the content and sends via a transmission path the processed content and clock information to another data processing apparatus that presents the received content. On the other hand, the another data processing apparatus receives via the transmission path the content and clock information sent from the data processing apparatus so as to process presentation synchronization on the received content on the basis of the received clock information. The present technology is applicable to data processing apparatuses configured to process content, for example.

  • Patent number: 11172886
    Abstract: A communicative water bottle includes communication logic and wireless transmission logic technology electronically connected with a variety of sensors either on the water bottle or located remote from the water bottle. The sensors on the bottle create digital data associated with amount of fluid in the bottle and change thereof. The sensors remote from the bottle, which can be on an activity tracker, create digital data associated with an activity being performed by a user, such as running, or the absence of activity, such as remaining sedentary. A display on the bottle can indicate to the user the amount of fluid consumed or a reminder that fluid should be consumed. The fluid consumption data syncs with other remote devices such as mobile applications executable on smartphones.
