Abstract: A method and apparatus for implementing integrated circuit security features are provided to selectively disable testability features on an integrated circuit chip. A test disable logic circuit receives a test enable signal and responsive to the test enable signal set for a test mode, establishes a test mode and disables ASIC signals. Responsive to the test enable signal not being set, the ASIC signals are enabled for a functional mode and the testability features on the integrated circuit chip are disabled. When the functional mode is enabled, the test disable logic circuit prevents the test mode from being established while the integrated circuit chip is powered up.

Abstract: A method and apparatus implement balanced clock distribution networks on application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) with voltage islands functioning at multiple operating points of voltage and temperature, and a design structure on which the subject circuit resides is provided. A clock source is coupled to an N-level balanced clock tree providing a clock signal. Each of a plurality of voltage islands includes a respective voltage shifter and programmable delay function receiving the clock signal.

Abstract: The present invention is an imaging system for detecting concealed objects on an individual. The imaging system includes an imaging zone that is illuminated with millimeter wave energy. A plurality of millimeter wave cameras are focused to fully surround the imaging zone and have the ability to detect millimeter wave frequencies reflected from the imaging zone. As an individual passes through the imaging zone the plurality of millimeter wave cameras detect concealed objects by identifying differences in the millimeter wave energy reflected by the individual's body and a concealed object. A composite image is generated by a central processing unit and displayed on a monitor showing the concealed object on the individual through optical contrast.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for the identification of deposits of solid materials in process plants, the method comprising the creation of a theee-dimensional image by means of tomography, preferably passive tomography, most preferably gamma-ray tomography. Typically, the solid materials comprise gamma-ray emitting solid materials and the process plants comprise nuclear process plants. In general, the deposits of solid materials are deposited from liquid media, and the liquid media preferably comprise aqueous suspensions of these materials. The method is particularly applicable to highly active nuclear waste liquids in High Activity Storage Tank (HAST) applications, and offers significant advantages over the methods of the prior art, since it comprises a non-invasive technique which does not require the prior installation of a detector in the vessel from which data are to be obtained.

Abstract: A system and method for providing end-to-end security of content over a heterogeneous distribution chain is provided. A content owner provides content to an aggregator that receives the content and processes the content. The processing may involve decrypting the content and associating at least one of a unique fingerprint and a watermark to the decrypted content. The unique fingerprint and a watermark to the decrypted content provide identifying characteristics to the content. Additional content-based fingerprints may be used to monitor quality of consumer experience for Video and Audio. The content may be sent in a decrypted state to a client or in an encrypted state. When the content is encrypted the aggregator wraps and encrypts the content with a signature such that an end-to-end flow of the content may be determined. Application Level encryption is used to provide network/distribution medium transparency as well as persistent encryption.
