Abstract: A system and method and computer program product for cognitive recording and sharing of live events. The system includes: a sensing and transmitting device that can sense the biometric signatures of an individual; a processing unit that analyses the sensed signal and initiate a set of actions; a recording device or the like to record the event; and a networked sharing device configured to subsequently share recorded event content. The system further identifies individuals' pre-cognitive inputs and additional external and internal factor input signals that are precursors to cognitive affirmation of an emotional response. These inputs will be identified, correlated, and used in training the system for subsequent identification and correlation between input factors and resulting emotional state. External factors may include: recognized emotional states, biometric inputs, and/or precognition inputs of other individuals in proximity to the subject individual. Other factors may include an individual's context.

Abstract: Communication between one communication bus having one set of characteristics and another communication bus having another set of characteristics is facilitated by a bridge coupling the two communication buses. The bridge includes a scoreboard to manage data communicated between the buses. In one particular example, the one communication bus is a Processor Local Bus (PLB6) and the other communication bus is an Application Specific Integrated Chip (ASIC) Interconnect Bus (AIB).

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system to implement access control from a master device to a slave device over an inter-integrated circuit (I2C) interface are described. The method includes generating, using a processor, a control block defining the access control to the slave device over the I2C interface. The generating the control block is performed by the trusted code layer and the generating the control block is prohibited by the user-modifiable code layer. The method also includes controlling a command over the I2C interface to the slave device based on a generated command from the trusted code layer and the user-modifiable code layer in accordance with the control block.

Abstract: An embodiment includes an integrated circuit (IC) for using direct memory access (DMA) to initialize a programmable logic device (PLD), the IC operably coupled to the PLD. The IC includes an input/output (I/O) interface and a PLD interface. The I/O interface converts a signal format between the IC and the PLD. The PLD interface includes a configuration and status register, a data buffer, and pacing logic. The configuration and status register is adapted to manipulate a control line of the PLD to configure the PLD in a programming mode via the I/O interface. The data buffer temporarily holds PLD programming data received from a DMA control at a DMA speed. The pacing logic controls the speed of transmitting the PLD programming data to a programming port on the PLD via the I/O interface at a PLD programming speed.
