Patent number: 9489504Abstract: A method is provided for using obtaining a reproducible device identifier from a physically unclonable function. An authentication device may receive a first physically unclonable function (PUF) dataset from the electronic device, the first PUF dataset including characteristic information generated from a physically unclonable function in the electronic device. The authentication device may then identify a pre-stored PUF dataset corresponding to the electronic device. Authentication of the electronic device may be performed by correlating the pre-stored PUF dataset and the first PUF dataset for the electronic device, wherein such correlation is based on a pattern or distribution correlation the pre-stored PUF dataset and the first PUF dataset. Because such correlation is performed on datasets, and not individual points, systematic variations can be recognized by the correlation operation leading to higher correlation than point-by-point comparisons.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2013Date of Patent: November 8, 2016Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Yafei Yang, Xu Guo, David Merrill Jacobson, Brian Marc Rosenberg, Adam John Drew

Patent number: 5680052Abstract: A testing apparatus for testing a sample fault indicator (11) of the type which has a current sensor (15), an automatic reset, an inrush restraint feature, and an indicator display (13) that are widely used by electric utilities for fault location of overhead and underground distribution power circuits. The first objective of the testing apparatus is to test the predetermined current threshold level of the sample fault indicator (11) which is specified by the producer. It provides for the simulation of a fault current condition by means of a pulse driver circuit (99). The output response of properly working fault indicator (11) under this test will cause the indicator display (13) to register a fault state. The second object provided by this apparatus is to test the automatic resetting of the sample fault indicator (11). It provides for simulating a reset signal (105) for a controlled duration of time.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 1996Date of Patent: October 21, 1997Assignee: Innovative Utility Products Corp.Inventors: Stephen J. Tomari, John Drew Smith, Kirk E. Moser

Patent number: 4667326Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating a check sum and a syndrome for detecting errors in a series of bytes comprising a plurality of stages, each stage comprising a plurality of networks of exclusive OR gates, a memory and an exclusive OR gate for exclusively ORing the outputs of the networks resulting from a byte transmitted therethrough with the results stored in a memory in a previous stage due to a previous byte. Each of the stages and the networks therein correspond to a term in a Reed-Solomon polynomial. Except for differences in the number and construction of the networks in each stage, each of the stages are substantially identical and can be selectively used for detecting single and double burst errors.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 1984Date of Patent: May 19, 1987Assignee: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.Inventors: Mark S.

Patent number: 4667286Abstract: A method and apparatus for transferring data between a disk and a CPU is disclosed comprising a pair of toggling header buffers and a pair of toggling data buffers. In operation, data is transferred between a sector on a disk and one of the data buffers under the control of one of the header buffers. While the data in the header buffer is being transferred between the data buffer and a CPU, data is transferred between an adjacent sector on the disk and the other data buffer under the control of the other header buffer. The rate of transfer of data between the data buffer and the CPU is higher than the rate of transfer of the data between the disk and the other data buffer. This provides sufficient time to check the data transferred from and to the CPU for errors and to address a new sector on the disk prior to the completion of the data transfer of the previous sector between the disk and the data buffer.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 1984Date of Patent: May 19, 1987Assignee: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.Inventors: Mark S. Young, John Drew, Michael C. Shebanow
