  • Publication number: 20220019656
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method is disclosed. The method includes: identifying a set of program variables associated with a computer program; generating a profile of variable writes for the computer program based on tracking, for each variable in the set of program variables: a count of memory write operations for writing to the variable; and timestamps associated with the memory write operations; detecting a trigger condition associated with the set of program variables, the detecting including: monitoring a pattern of memory accesses by the computer program, the pattern of memory accesses indicating accesses of memory allocated to variables in the set of program variables; and detecting a deviation of the pattern of memory accesses from the profile of variable writes; and in response to detecting the trigger condition, generating a notification indicating an attack status on the computer program.

  • Patent number: 10838010
    Abstract: Estimating cell capacitance includes learning a function that returns capacitance as a function of an earlier capacitance and a physical characteristic that is correlated with changes in that capacitance and using a supervised learning algorithm on a learning database that has values of the capacitance, values of that physical characteristic measured concurrently with the capacitance and a preceding value of the capacitance.

  • Patent number: 6738414
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for radio communications wherein the transmitted signals include an intermediate frequency in addition to a carrier frequency to aid in demodulation of data modulated on the signals and regulate the local oscillator frequency at the receiver. The invention greatly reduces the number of components required to implement a radio, and in particular, a direct sequence spread spectrum radio, reduces the frequency stability requirement at the transmitting and receiving ends of the communication, automatically tracks changes in the transmission signal after transmission, and permits the use of a single frequency reference to provide all required frequencies to operate both the receiver and the transmitter in each radio.

  • Patent number: 6237075
    Abstract: The invention provides a volatile or non-volatile memory and a latching circuit wherein data held in a first memory location is used to address the next memory location, in addition to providing a synchronous portion of the code. Accordingly, the data at the next memory address is used as a succeeding address and a subsequent portion of the code. The data is organized to repeat when the data stored in the address location is equal to the starting address.
