Abstract: An integrated current sensing amplifier with offset cancellation implemented in GaN technology. The current sensing amplifier senses the current flowing through a low side power FET or a high side power FET of a half bridge circuit. The current sensing amplifier uses the off time of the power FET for storing the amplifier input offset voltage. The stored amplifier input offset voltage is then used to cancel the amplifier input offset voltage during the on time of the power FET, which is the interval that requires current sensing.

Abstract: A single-ended or differential level-shifting interface for GaN ICs that allows GaN ICs to be controlled with standard low-voltage CMOS level inputs. The logic level shift circuit is based on a resistive network is therefore insensitive to process and temperature variations, making it particularly well suited for implementation in a GaN IC. The resistive network for a single-ended input signal includes a first branch with a voltage divider connected to the input signal. The voltage divider of the first branch provides a level shifted and scaled input signal to the first input of a comparator at the optimal bias point of the comparator. The resistive network also includes a second voltage divider branch with hysteresis for providing a trip voltage to the second input to the comparator, also at the optimal bias point of the comparator. The comparator outputs complementary bipolar level shifted signals corresponding to the input signal.

Abstract: Example embodiments of systems and methods for application verification are provided. An application may generate a cryptographic key, and encrypt the cryptographic key with a predefined public key. A server, in data communication with the application, may include a predefined private key. The application may transmit the cryptographic key to the server. The server may receive, from the application, the cryptographic key; decrypt the cryptographic key using the predefined private key; encrypt an authorization token using the decrypted key; and transmit, to the client application, the authorization token via an out-of-band channel. The application may receive, from the server, the authorization token via the out-of-band channel; and decrypt the authorization token to obtain access to one or more services associated with the server.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods, and computer program products for fraud detection based on changes in resource transmissions. The invention is configured to identify unauthorized resource transmission by importing or retrieving data known to have been associated with unauthorized resource transmissions to project one or more patterns of unauthorized resource transmission that can be compared with resource transmission data of a user to identify a potentially misappropriated transaction.

Abstract: Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for a data obfuscation authentication security display session. The invention provides a secondary authentication by recognizing the initial access to a display screen and overlaying and presenting false information on the screen. The false screen may mimic that of a real account screen, but the personal information about the user is false. The invention then requires the user to perform a secondary authentication to gain access information on the display session that is not false. The invention may allow for a duress code implementation in place of the secondary authentication, which initiates security protocols, include a continuum based protocol arrangement of security protocols.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to account lineage tracking and automatically executing responsive actions upon detecting an incomplete lineage chain. A computing platform may receive an account-change message from a database-level interceptor. The account-change message may include information identifying a first target account as a database-level source account and identifying a second target account associated with one or more target databases. The first target account may be associated with a target application configured to access the target database. After receiving the account-change message, the computing platform may determine, based on a failure to detect a source account associated with the first target account, that an account lineage chain associated with the account-change message is incomplete.

Abstract: A security feature within an apparatus that includes a fingerprint scanner used for purposes of authentication. Specifically, a first indicator is detected that is a user input to a fingerprint scanner and indicates the occurrence of a duress-inducing event. In response to detecting the first indicator, (i) access to the apparatus is controlled, and (ii) access to functionality provided by the apparatus is controlled. As such, if the user is being forced to input their fingerprint by a nefarious entity desiring access to the apparatus, the present invention provides a means by which the user can covertly activate certain features on the apparatus that prevent the nefarious entity from access to the apparatus and/or functionality provided by the apparatus.

Abstract: Devices and methods for dynamic power configuration (e.g., reduction) for thermal management (e.g., mitigation) in a wearable electronic device such as an eyewear device. The wearable electronic device monitors its temperature and, responsive to the temperature, configures the services it provides to operate in different modes for thermal mitigation (e.g., to prevent overheating). For example, based on temperature, the wearable electronic device adjusts sensors (e.g., turns cameras on or off, changes the sampling rate, or a combination thereof) and adjusts display components (e.g., adjusted rate at which a graphical processing unit generates images and a visual display is updated). This enables the wearable electronic device to consume less power when temperatures are too high in order to provide thermal mitigation.

Abstract: A cached cloud rendering system for saving power and rendering time, which reduces motion to photon time. The cached cloud rendering system may utilize a cloud server to render and cache frames requested by a mobile computing device, which distributes the processing workload to a server system and results in increased battery life of the mobile computing device. Distributing the processing workload to the server system provides an additional benefit of reducing workload on the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) of the mobile computing device.

Abstract: Automatically and covertly activating audio/video mechanisms within a mobile communication device when a user is confronted with a duress-inducing event or a situation based on receipt of a duress indicator. The duress indicator is a subtle user input, such as a personal gesture, personal audible code or device input that triggers the covert activation of audio/video recording mechanisms on a mobile communication device. As a result, audio and/or video data of a duress-inducing event can be captured absent other parties to the duress-inducing event being aware that audio/video data is being captured.
