Publication number: 20240012368Abstract: A computer-implemented control method of constrained controlling of a computer-controlled system. The system is controlled according to a control input, which is safe if a constraint quantity resulting from the controlling of the computer-controlled system exceeds a constraint threshold. A current control input is determined based on previous control inputs and corresponding previous noisy measurements. The computer-controlled system is controlled according to the current control input, thereby obtaining a current noisy measurement of the resulting constraint quantity. The current control input is determined based on a mutual information between a first random variable representing the constraint quantity resulting from the current control input and a second random variable indicating whether a further control input is safe.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2023Publication date: January 11, 2024Inventors: Alessandro Giacomo Bottero, Carlos Enrique Luis Goncalves, Felix Berkenkamp, Jan Peters, Julia Vinogradska

Patent number: 11842934Abstract: A mechanism is provided to secure integrated circuit devices that combines a high degree of security with a low overhead, both in area and cost, thereby making it appropriate for smaller, cheaper integrated circuits. A determination is made whether a device die is on a wafer or if the device die is incorporated into a package. Only if the device die is incorporated in a package can the functional logic of device die be activated, and then only if a challenge-response query is satisfied. In some embodiments, a random number generator is used during wafer testing to form a pair of numbers, along with a die identifier, that is unique for each device die. A final test is then performed in which the device die can be activated if the device die is incorporated in a package, and the die identifier—random number pair is authenticated.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2019Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Assignee: NXP B.V.Inventor: Jan-Peter Schat

Publication number: 20230269510Abstract: To secure earphones in the auditory canal of a user, ear tips are used. In an improved earphone, which reduces or avoids pressure sores occurring in the ear of the user, a hard stub of the housing no longer protrudes as hitherto into the ear tip, and instead a soft receiving tube of the ear tip is secured in the housing. By means of this inverse receiving principle, the ear tip can better conform to the auditory canal and thus enhances the wearing comfort. For assembly, the tube is plugged into an opening in the housing so that a projection of the tube engages in a depression or inner shoulder behind the opening and thus secures the ear cushion on the housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2021Publication date: August 24, 2023Inventors: Jan Peter Kuhtz, Thomas Trommer

Patent number: 11693966Abstract: A method for managing operation of a circuit includes activating a trigger engine, receiving signals from a target circuit, and detecting a hardware trojan based on the signals. The trigger engine may generate a stimulus to activate the hardware trojan, and the target circuit may generate the received signals when the stimulus is generated. The trigger engine may be a scan chain which performs a circular scan by shifting bit values through a series of flip-flops including a feedback path. The target circuit may be various types of circuits, including but not limited to a high-speed input/output interface. The hardware trojan may be detected based on bit-error rate information corresponding to the signals output from the target circuit.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2019Date of Patent: July 4, 2023Assignee: NXP B.V.Inventor: Jan-Peter Schat
