  • Patent number: 9442148
    Abstract: Automatic test equipment (ATE) includes: a circuit to split a stimulus signal, which contains both deterministic and random (noise floor) spectra contents, from a device under test (DUT) into a first signal and a second signal; a first channel to receive the first signal, where the first channel adds a first noise floor to the first signal to produce a first channel signal; a second channel to receive the second signal, where the second channel adds a second noise floor to the second signal to produce a second channel signal, the first noise floor, the second noise floor and the DUT noise floor all being mutually uncorrelated; and processing logic to: estimate a first power of the deterministic stimulus signal, and estimate a second total power based on the first channel signal and the second channel signal.

  • Publication number: 20120079585
    Abstract: Embodiments of proxy authentication and indirect certificate chaining are described herein. In an implementation, authentication for a client occurs via a proxy service. Proxy service communicates between client and server, and caches security tokens on behalf of the client. In an implementation, trustworthiness of certificate presented to a client to establish trust is determined utilizing a signed data package which incorporates a plurality of known certificates. The presented certificate is verified without utilizing root certificates installed on the client device.

  • Patent number: 7234158
    Abstract: Methods and system for routing communication between a client computer and network servers on a data communication network. In response to a request from a web server on the network to authenticate a user of the client computer, an authentication network server directs the client to a user interface network server. The user interface server provides a user interface to the user requesting login information. The authentication server, which is in a different domain than the user interface server, receives and validates the login information. The authentication server further provides a cookie to the client computer if the information retrieved from the user is valid. The cookie has a domain attribute corresponding to the domain of the authentication server.

  • Patent number: 6784819
    Abstract: A technique for deskewing digitizer channels in an automatic test system includes applying a waveform of known frequency to the input of each digitizer channel. Each digitizer channel samples the waveform to produce a respective data record. A Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT), or a portion thereof, is then taken for each data record to determine, at minimum, the phase of the waveform. Phase differences across different digitizer channels are converted to time differences, which values are applied to subsequent digitizer measurements to correct for timing skew. Because a large number of samples in a digitizer's data record contribute to the computed phase of the waveform, the effects of timing jitter are substantially eliminated from skew measurements, without the need for repeating measurements and explicitly averaging results.
