  • Patent number: 11811919
    Abstract: A system coordinates with remote hardware to execute customer workloads. The system uses an architecture for ensuring trust to ensure that debugging is not performed at the remote hardware while the customer workload is being executed on the remote hardware without customer consent. For example, debugging at the remote hardware may enable an entity performing the debugging to view certain aspects of the customer's workload. The architecture for ensuring trusts uses a shared secret to ensure customer consent is given before debugging can be performed while the customer's workload is being executed on the remote hardware.

  • Patent number: 11791918
    Abstract: A system and method of propagating signal links by using artificial neural networks and a relay link selection protocol to predict an optimal signal path. The artificial neural networks used in the method classify training and testing datasets into sufficient signal strengths and insufficient signal strengths, such that paths are evaluated for predicted propagation links, such that the strongest propagation link can be selected. Specifically, a multilayer perceptron method is used to identify and characterize new link candidates using the path loss parameter or the received signal strength, such that optimal links can be selected and updated.

  • Patent number: 11757546
    Abstract: A method with which the reception sensitivity of a communication device can be measured accurately and with satisfactory reproducibility and a method with which the effect of noise control performed upon a communication device can be accurately evaluated. A first communication device in a nonreflective environment in an anechoic chamber wirelessly receives a test signal transmitted from a pseudo base station through an attached antenna thereof at the same time when a second communication device near the first communication device receives the test signal through a signal line. The first communication device is simultaneously subjected to the interference of noise generated by the second communication device at the attached antenna. Thus, the noise is made to interfere with the attached antenna of the first communication device without disassembling the first communication device and moving the first communication device in the nonreflective environment.
