  • Patent number: 11973754
    Abstract: An encryption protocol is provided that can be implemented within a single clock cycle of an integrated circuit chip while still providing unbreakable encryption. The protocol of the present invention is so small that it can co-exist on any integrated circuit chip with other functions, including a general purpose central processing unit, general processing unit, or application specific integrated circuits with other communication related functionality.

  • Patent number: 11973775
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed to implement a network data interpretation pipeline to recognize machine operations (MOs) and machine activities (MAs) from network traffic data observed in a monitored network. In embodiments, a MO recognition engine is implemented in the network to recognize MOs from network sensor events (NSEs) based on defined recognition patterns. The MOs and any unrecognized NSEs are uploaded to a network monitoring system, where they are further analyzed by a MA recognition engine to recognize higher-level machine activities performed by machines. The NSEs, MOs, and MAs are used by the network monitoring system to implement a variety of security threat detection processes. Advantageously, the pipeline may be used to add rich contextual information about the raw network data to facilitate security threat detection processes.

  • Patent number: 11973169
    Abstract: An optical isolation material may be applied to walls of a first cavity and a second cavity in a wafer mesh. A wavelength converting layer may be deposited into the first cavity to create a first segment and into the second cavity to create a second segment. The first segment may be attached to a first light emitting device to create a first pixel and the second segment to a second light emitting device to create a second pixel. The wafer mesh may be removed.

  • Patent number: 11971992
    Abstract: Systems and methods for failure characterization of secure programmable logic devices (PLDs) are disclosed. An example system includes a secure PLD including programmable logic blocks (PLBs) arranged in PLD fabric of the secure PLD, and a configuration engine configured to program the PLD fabric according to a configuration image stored in non-volatile memory (NVM) of the secure PLD and/or coupled through a configuration input/output (I/O) of the secure PLD. The secure PLD is configured to receive a failure characterization (FC) command from the PLD fabric or an external system coupled to the secure PLD through the configuration I/O, and to execute the FC command to, at least in part, erase and/or nullify portions of the NVM. The secure PLD may also be configured to boot a debug configuration for the PLD fabric that identifies and/or characterizes operational failures of the secure PLD.

  • Patent number: 11970926
    Abstract: A system includes an upper section, having a first lateral end. The upper section has upper production tubing configured to be a conduit for production fluids, an upper electrical cable configured to transmit electricity, and a sub-surface safety valve fixed to the upper production tubing. The system further includes a lower section having a second lateral end, lower production tubing configured to be a conduit for the production fluids, a lower electrical cable configured to transmit electricity, an electric submersible pump assembly, and an anchor configured to hold the lower section within the casing string. A stinger assembly is fixed to the first lateral end of the upper section, and a stinger receptacle is fixed to the second lateral end of the lower section. The stinger receptacle is configured to receive the stinger assembly and create an electrical connection between the upper section and the lower section.

  • Patent number: 11961835
    Abstract: A circuit for monitoring usage of an active field effect transistor (FET) includes the active FET and a reference FET, formed in a same structure as the active FET. The active FET and the reference FET both are pFET or both are nFET, and are stacked on each other at a common gate. The circuit also includes a differential current sense circuit (DCSC) and a plurality of switches for connecting terminals of the FETs to logic voltage, ground voltage, and/or the DCSC. The DCSC is configured to measure and compare currents through each of the active and reference FETs when a threshold voltage is applied to the common gate.
