Abstract: Examples are directed to systems and methods that cause a first user interface having an input field that receives a search query to be displayed. A search query having an attribute of a first entity is received at the input field. Data records are searched for a second entity using the attribute when the search query is received. A second user interface is displayed that has a data record for the second entity. The data record lists the attribute and an additional attribute of the second entity. The second user interface has a drill down user interface that lists the attribute and the additional attribute. The attribute and the additional attribute are selectable to reconfigure the second user interface. The second user interface has a selectable option to create a new data record where the option corresponds to an indication that the first entity is different from the second entity.

Abstract: SRAM cells are connected in columns by bit lines and connected in rows by first and second word lines coupled to first and second data storage sides of the SRAM cells. First the first word lines are actuated in parallel and then next the second word lines are actuated in parallel in first and second phases, respectively, of an in-memory compute operation. Bit line voltages in the first and second phases are processed to generate an in-memory compute operation decision. A low supply node reference voltage for the SRAM cells is selectively modulated between a ground voltage and a negative voltage. The first data storage side receives the negative voltage and the second data storage side receives the ground voltage during the second phase. Conversely, the second data storage side receives the negative voltage and the first data storage side receives the ground voltage during the first phase.

Abstract: A device is arranged for distance measurement according to a ranging protocol using a measurement message from a second device. Based on a first arrival time of the measurement message a first distance (151) between the first device (110) and the second device (120) is determined. A third device (130) acts as a cooperating device that is located at a trusted distance (150). The cooperating device determines a third arrival time of the same measurement message, and transfers support data to the first device, the support data being based on the third arrival time. The first device obtains a third distance (153) between the third device and the second device using the support data. Then a verification test is performed on the first distance (151), the trusted distance (150) and the third distance (153). The first distance is reliable when said distances correspond to a viable spatial constellation (100) of the devices.
