  • Publication number: 20260116424
    Abstract: A computing system can obtain, through one or more sensor systems onboard an autonomous vehicle, a motion input, a surface element registration input representing one or more tracked surface elements, and a lane alignment input representing one or more lane boundaries. The computing system can provide the motion input, the surface element registration input, and the lane alignment input to a pose estimation system including a localization filter. The pose estimation system can generate one or more pose states of the autonomous vehicle, including a local pose and a global pose. The computing system can determine a motion plan for the autonomous vehicle based on the one or more pose states.

  • Publication number: 20260097412
    Abstract: A pressure washer unit includes a main housing containing components of the pressure washer and a roll cage surrounding the main housing for protection. The roll cage is generally rectangular and provides flat surfaces to make it easier to store the unit, and importantly provides a flat top surface to allow other items to stack on top of the unit. The main housing also includes a storage compartment to store accessories, including a trigger gun. The trigger gun includes a trigger guard with openings to store nozzles for the trigger gun.

  • Patent number: 11575521
    Abstract: In one example an apparatus comprises accelerator logic to pre-compute at least a portion of a message representative, hash logic to generate the message representative based on an input message, and signature logic to generate a signature to be transmitted in association with the message representative, the signature logic to apply a hash-based signature scheme to a private key to generate the signature comprising a public key, and determine whether the message representative satisfies a target threshold allocation of computational costs between a cost to generate the signature and a cost to verify the signature. Other examples may be described.

  • Patent number: 11567733
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to systems, methods and devices to provide race-condition true random number generator (TRNG) for soft intellectual property (IP) in field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). In an exemplary embodiment, a pair of long adder chains are raced against one another to complete a full cycle. Due to variances in the silicon, different chains will win each race at different times and thereby produce entropy. A calibration circuit can be used to set up the adder chains in an appropriate initial state to maximize the entropy produced. This structure has been found to be robust to layout changes, and the use of two such adder-chain-pairs reduces interference from other structures. Among others, the soft IP makes adding a robust TRNG to an FPGA much easier without concerns for how the structures are laid out or what other IP is nearby in the layout. The disclosed embodiments reduces the effort to add a TRNG to an FPGA design and improves the robustness of the TRNG making the design FIPS certifiable.

  • Patent number: 11378576
    Abstract: Viruses and other bioagents are of high medical and biodefense concern and their detection at concentrations well below the threshold necessary to cause health hazards continues to be a challenge with respect to sensitivity, specificity, and selectivity. Ideally, assays for accurate and real time detection of viral agents and other bioagents would not necessitate any pre-processing of the analyte, which would make them applicable for example to bodily fluids (blood, sputum) and man-made as well as naturally occurring bodies of water (pools, rivers). We describe herein a robust biosensor that combines the sensitivity of surface acoustic waves (SAW) generated at a frequency of 325 MHz with the specificity provided by antibodies and other ligands for the detection of viral agents.

  • Patent number: 11057207
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods of providing a trusted ownership re-key with attestation in a device. The device includes processor circuitry that incorporates TEE circuitry. The TEE circuitry generates an AAIK and encrypts the AAIK using HMAC. The TEE circuitry forms a first message using the HMAC, a public DAK assigned to the device, and a device signature. The TEE circuitry sends an encrypted first message to the manufacturer. The manufacturer validates the device based on the public DAK and generates a second message that includes the HMAC and a manufacturer signature. The encrypted second message is communicated to the TEE circuitry. Upon receipt the TEE circuitry validates the AAIK data in the second message against the most recent AAIK and generates a third message that includes the HMAC, the original AAIK, the RHK and the manufacturer attestation. The AAIK thus remains unknown to both the current owner and the manufacturer.
