Patent number: 11995176Abstract: A password and/or email address management platform configured to regenerate a previously generated password for a given web domain or digital system without permanently storing the previously generated password. The platform can operate without maintaining a permanent store or list of other user-related information, e.g. a list of web domains or systems for which passwords have been generated. In an embodiment, the platform performs the steps of concatenating a plurality of password input data elements into a requested phantom password input data string, applying a hashing algorithm to the requested phantom password input data string to generate a phantom password hash, applying a hash-to-string function to convert the phantom password hash to a phantom password, and purging the password generation system of the phantom password after it is notified to a user.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2021Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: PHANTOMKEY TECHNOLOGY LIMITEDInventor: Michael Hugh Thomas Dymond

Patent number: 11986094Abstract: An arm assembly for a chair having a post, a first member, and an armrest. The first member is angularly adjustable relative to the post about a first axis between first angular movement limits, with a non-finite number of angular adjustment positions of the first member relative to the post. The armrest is operatively connected to the first member to translationally slide generally forward and rearward relative to the first member between first translational movement limits, with a non-finite number of translational adjustment positions of the armrest relative to the first member. The armrest is angularly adjustable relative to the first member about a second substantially upright axis between second angular movement limits, with a non-finite number of angular adjustment positions of the armrest relative to the first member.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2021Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: Formway Furniture LimitedInventors: Christopher Warren Bisman, James Clifford Prier, Fabian David Haarbeck, Paul Michael Wilkinson, Damon Gregory Burwell, Hugh Thomas Mccoshim, Leon Harley Craze, Rachael Jessica Hall

Some embodiments relate to an integrated circuit comprising programmable oscillator circuitry with a plurality of oscillator stages that are switchable into and out of a delay path based on control signals from a controller, allowing the same programmable oscillator to generate many different oscillator signals according to the received control signals, for the controller to determine a central tendency and/or variance of propagation delay of the integrated circuit. Some embodiments relate to an integrated circuit including programmable delay paths configured to provide an amount of cell delay and an amount of wire delay based on control signals from a controller, allowing the same programmable delay path to generate signals for measuring delays due to cell and wire delays of the integrated circuit.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Ashish Kumar NAYAK, Hugh Thomas MAIR, Anshul VARMA, Anand RAJAGOPALAN

Patent number: 11418203Abstract: Clock circuits designed to compensate for supply voltage fluctuations (e.g., supply voltage droops) in central processing units (CPUs) are described. The clock circuits described herein involve reducing the clock frequency in response to a decrease to the supply voltage to a value that is approximately equal (or below) to the maximum operating frequency of the CPU at that particular supply voltage. The clock circuits described herein may include a frequency locked loops (FLL). Such FLLs may be designed to lock to a reference frequency when the supply voltage is approximately constant and to deviate from the reference frequency in response to variations in the supply voltage. In some embodiments, an FLL operates in the same supply voltage domain as the CPU.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2021Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: MEDIATEK Singapore Pte.
