Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus for processing confidential information. In one embodiment, the method includes: receiving confidential information on an incoming line coupled to the call center server; intercepting a DTMF tone portion of the confidential information at an encoder located between the incoming line and an agent at the remote client; and processing the DTMF tone at approximately the same time for two separate data paths, wherein a first path contains encoded confidential information for a call server, and a second path contains no confidential information for the agent.

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor wafer. A plurality of pillar bumps is formed over the semiconductor wafer. A solder is deposited over the pillar bumps. The semiconductor wafer is singulated into a plurality of semiconductor die after forming the pillar bumps while the semiconductor wafer is on a carrier. An encapsulant is deposited around the semiconductor die and pillar bumps while the semiconductor die remains on the carrier. The encapsulant covers an active surface of the semiconductor die between the pillar bumps.

Abstract: Diagnostic and response systems and methods for a fluid power system acquire data from pressure and temperature sensors disposed in the fluid power system, analyze the data in a failure algorithm to build a history of cumulative damage to hoses in the fluid power system, communicates an indication of potential imminent hose failure to a central location when a level of the cumulative damage indicates imminent failure of a hose, analyze the information at the central location to determine an appropriate response, and transmit information about the fluid power system, including location, and identification of the hose about to fail to a response unit. The response unit responds to the location and replaces the component prior to failure, or the communication might include information that the hose has failed, such that the response unit replaces the failed hose to return the fluid power system to normal operation.

Abstract: Techniques for remote application access are described. Some embodiments provide access to an application executing on a host system via a Web browser of a client device. A user operating the Web browser may request access to the application via a uniform resource identifier. A service executing on the host system receives the request and facilitates access to the application. Facilitating access may include transmitting to the Web browser image data corresponding to a window or graphical user interface generated by the application and stored on the host system. Client logic executing within the Web browser receives the image data and displays a local copy of the application window on the client device. The client logic also forwards user input events made with respect to the to the local window to the remote presentation service, which in turn forwards the events to the window/application on the host system.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein enable a residual error image to be added and rendered in an existing HTML canvas using native primitives. A current image and a residual error image containing pixel value differences between the current image and an updated image are received. A positive residual error image and a negative error image are generated from the residual error image. The positive residual error image is added to the current image to generate a partially updated image, and the partially updated image is xored to generate an inverse image. The negative residual error image is added to the inverse image to generate an updated inverse image, and xoring the inverse image to revert the inverse image to generate the updated image.

Abstract: A server receives an update image for transmission to a client and encodes and compresses the update image data using a progressive encoding scheme. In one embodiment, the image data is encoded using progressive JPEG encoding and then into a base64 text string. When insufficient network bandwidth is available to transmit all of the image data for the update image, the server transmits only a first portion of the encoded image data, which is sufficient to fully reproduce the original update image but at a lower quality. When more network bandwidth becomes available, an additional portion of the encoded image data is transmitted to the client. The client is able to append the additional portion to the first portion to refine the image represented at the client. This mechanism may be implemented using unmodified web browsers and servers to remote a computer graphical user interface display.

Abstract: A semiconductor device is protected from electrical overstress (EOS) and electro-static discharge (ESD) events by a series protection circuit electrically coupled in series along the transmission line between a signal source and a load. The series protection circuit includes a first field-effect transistor (FET) electrically coupled in series between the signal source and load. A parallel protection circuit is electrically coupled between the transmission line and a ground node. The parallel protection circuit can include a transient-voltage-suppression (TVS) diode.
