Abstract: A system and method are disclosed in which a node of a peer-to-peer (P2P) network supporting a blockchain is able to restart following network or power disruption (or is able to initially join the blockchain network) by bootstrapping information from one or more peer nodes in the P2P network. The bootstrapping operation involves communication between the Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) of the two or more nodes. The system and method ensure that the retrieval of data related to the blockchain state are not from untrusted parts of the peer node(s) and the data has not been tampered with (avoidance of replay attacks).

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for a light collector to capture an inbound optical signal and a plurality of detectors, wherein each detector is associated with a wavelength detection range that differs from one or more wavelength detection ranges associated with one or more remaining detectors in the plurality of detectors. Additionally, a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device may include a plurality of mirrored columns, wherein each mirrored column is coated with a material that is associated with a wavelength reflection range that differs from one or more wavelength reflection ranges associated with one or more remaining mirrored columns in the plurality of mirrored columns. In one example, the MEMS device positions the plurality of mirrored columns to route the inbound optical signal to one or more of the plurality of detectors based on an input signal from a user input device.

Abstract: Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device that can include a main camera, at least one array of cameras, and a display to display an image captured by the main camera, wherein the image includes more than one region of interest and each region of interest is displayed in a separate picture in picture image on the display. A stream synchronization process module can capture the image and each separate picture in picture image as a separate video stream or as a single video stream.

Abstract: A method for sensing, in an electronic device, the presence and inferring therefrom an intent of an object includes sensing a baseline ambient spatial average temperature for a sensed field of view, monitoring the sensed field of view for a variation in the ambient spatial average temperature of the field of view relative to the baseline, characterizing any detected variation, determining whether the detected variation is a recognized variation, and causing the electronic device to take at least one predetermined action responsive to a recognized variation.
