  • Patent number: 9747996
    Abstract: A method of improving radiation tolerance of floating gate memories is provided herein. Floating gate memories can include a floating gate transistor or a block of floating gate transistors. A floating gate transistor can include a semiconductor region, a source region, a drain region, a floating gate region, a tunnel oxide region, an oxide-nitride-oxide region, and a control gate region. A floating gate transistor or block of floating gate transistors can be written to multiple times in order to accumulate charge on one or more floating gate regions in accordance with an embodiment of the invention. When exposed to radiation, a floating gate region can retain its charge above a certain voltage threshold. A block of floating gate transistors can communicate with an external device where the external device can read a state of the block of floating gate transistors in accordance with an embodiment of the invention.

  • Publication number: 20170139228
    Abstract: A device for adjusting a position of eyeglasses with progressive or multifocal lenses is provided. The device includes a body having a length, a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end includes at least one nose engaging member structured to engage with a bridge of a nose of the user, and the distal end includes at least one frame engaging member structured to engage with the frame, e.g., the bridge, of the eyeglasses. When worn, the device raises the position of the eyeglasses on the face of the user so that the user's line-of-sight in a selected head position passes through a lower zone of the progressive or multifocal lenses.

  • Publication number: 20170034187
    Abstract: A system and methods for detecting intrusions in the operation of a computer system comprises a sensor configured to gather information regarding the operation of the computer system, to format the information in a data record having a predetermined format, and to transmit the data in the predetermined data format. A data warehouse is configured to receive the data record from the sensor in the predetermined data format and to store the data in a SQL database. A detection model generator is configured to request data records from the data warehouse in the predetermined data format, to generate an intrusion detection model based on said data records, and to transmit the intrusion detection model to the data warehouse according to the predetermined data format. A detector is configured to receive a data record in the predetermined data format from the sensor and to classify the data record in real-time as one of normal operation and an attack based on said intrusion detection model.
