Abstract: Disclosed herein is a touch screen controller including a driver circuit applying a drive signal to a drive line of a capacitive touch sensing panel. The driver circuit is powered by an accurate supply voltage. A driver supply circuit receives an input supply voltage and outputs the accurate supply voltage. The driver supply circuit includes a clocked comparator comparing a divided version of the accurate supply voltage to a reference voltage and outputting a comparison signal based thereupon. A voltage control circuit (e.g. a charge pump circuit) generates the accurate supply voltage in response to the comparison signal. The clocked comparator and voltage control circuit are both clocked by a driver supply circuit clock.

Abstract: A computerized technique is provided to analyze a message for malware by determining context information from attributes of the message. The attributes are determined by performing one or more of a static analysis of meta information of the message (e.g., delivery protocol attributes) to generate a first result; a dynamic analysis of an object contained in the message to generate a second result; and, in some embodiments, an emulation of the object to generate a third result. The first result, second result, and third result are correlated in accordance with one or more correlation rules to generate a threat index for the message. The threat index is compared with a predetermined threshold to determine whether the message should be classified as malware and, if so, an alert is generated.

Abstract: A modal antenna array is described where modal antenna elements capable of generating multiple radiation modes are used to form array radiation patterns. Nulls in the array radiation pattern can be formed and positioned by proper modal antenna element mode selection, with these nulls used to provide interference suppression or mitigation. The shift in array radiation pattern maxima generated by modal element mode selection can be used to improve communication system link quality by optimizing array radiation pattern characteristics. Specifically, a ring or circular array configuration is described where a simplified common feed port can be implemented to feed multiple modal antenna elements used to form the array. A switch can be used to connect or disconnect one modal element from the array, with this feature providing additional unique array beam states. The modal array can be commanded via a look-up table or algorithm.
