  • Automated repair of bugs and security vulnerabilities in software
    Patent number: 10866877
    Abstract: A software instruction code repair system comprising an instruction code example pool. The example pool comprises a set of good instruction code examples and a set of bad instruction code examples. The software instruction code repair system further comprises a sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) network that is configured to generate a corrected instruction code example, based on one example of the set of bad instruction code examples. The software instruction code repair system further comprises a discriminator configured to randomly select one of the corrected instruction code example and one instruction code example of the set of good instruction code examples to produce a selected instruction code example. The discriminator is further configured to make a determination that the selected instruction code example is most likely taken either the instruction code example pool or the seq2seq network.

  • Circuits and methods for limiting a smallest separation of thresholds in a magnetic field sensor
    Patent number: 9778326
    Abstract: A magnetic field sensor uses upper and lower thresholds. The upper and lower thresholds are limited such that they have a minimum separation distance between equivalent voltage levels of the upper and lower thresholds.
