Abstract: A control server provides access and authorization control by: receiving an access request (including a resource identifier and a recipient device identifier) from a sender device; obtaining sender authorization data identifying a sender account corresponding to the sender device; retrieving an access server identifier corresponding to the resource identifier, and destination authorization data identifying a destination account corresponding to the access server identifier; sending a first authorization request (including the sender and destination authorization data) to an authorization server; receiving and storing a token from the authorization server; receiving an access confirmation message from the recipient device; responsive to the access confirmation message, transmitting a second authorization request (including the token) to the authorization server; and responsive to an authorization confirmation message from the authorization server, sending an access instruction (including the resource identifie

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include computerized methods, systems, and devices, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for device authentication. For example, the resource device may generate and maintain master access tokens, which may be transmitted to a computing system. The computing system may receive, from a device of an owner of the resource device, data granting a client device limited access to the resource device in accordance with various access restrictions. The computing system may generate and provide to the client device a limited version of the master access token that specifies the access restrictions. The client device may present the local access token to the resource device over a direct wireless connection, and the resource device may verify the token and grant the requested access without communication with the computing system.

Abstract: A manufacturing method to form a memory device includes forming a hard mask on a magnetic stack. A first magnetic stack etch is performed to form exposed magnetic layers. A liner is applied to the exposed magnetic layers to form protected magnetic layers. A second magnetic stack etch forms a magnetic random access memory (MRAM) cell, where the liner prevents shunting between the protected magnetic layers.

Abstract: The present disclosure concerns a magnetic element to be written using a thermally-assisted switching write operation comprising a magnetic tunnel junction formed from a tunnel barrier being disposed between first and second magnetic layers, said second magnetic layer having a second magnetization which direction can be adjusted during a write operation when the magnetic tunnel junction is heated at a high threshold temperature; an upper current line connected at the upper end of the magnetic tunnel junction; and a strap portion extending laterally and connected to the bottom end of the magnetic tunnel junction; the magnetic device further comprising a bottom thermal insulating layer extending substantially parallel to the strap portion and arranged such that the strap portion is between the magnetic tunnel junction and the bottom thermal insulating layer. The magnetic element allows for reducing heat losses during the write operation and has reduced power consumption.
