  • Patent number: 11698862
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods related to three tiered hierarchical memory systems are described herein. A three tiered hierarchical memory system can leverage persistent memory to store data that is generally stored in a non-persistent memory, thereby increasing an amount of storage space allocated to a computing system at a lower cost than approaches that rely solely on non-persistent memory. An example apparatus may include a persistent memory, and one or more non-persistent memories configured to map an address associated with an input/output (I/O) device to an address in logic circuitry prior to the apparatus receiving a request from the I/O device to access data stored in the persistent memory, and map the address associated with the I/O device to an address in a non-persistent memory subsequent to the apparatus receiving the request and accessing the data.

  • Publication number: 20230206353
    Abstract: A farming machine is configured to identify and treat plants in a field. The farming machine includes one or more light sensors for measuring a characteristic of light. The one or more light sensors are coupled to the farming machine and are directed a substantially upwards orientation away from the plants. A control system adjusts settings of an image acquisition system based on a characteristic of light measured by the one or more light sensors. The image acquisition system captures an image of a plant using one or more image sensors coupled to the farming machine, the one or more image sensors directed in a substantially downwards orientation towards the plants. The control system identifies a plant in the image and actuates a treatment mechanism to treat the identified plant.

  • Patent number: 11663391
    Abstract: Aspects of the invention include systems and methods for implementing a CMOS circuit design that uses a sea-of-gates fill methodology to provide latch-up avoidance. A non-limiting example computer-implemented method includes identifying a fill cell in the circuit design. The fill cell can include a power rail, a ground rail, and a field-effect transistor (FET) electrically coupled to the power rail through a via. The method can include disconnecting the via from the power rail and moving the via to a disconnected node in the fill cell. Moving the via decouples a source or drain of the fill cell from a well of the fill cell, preventing latch-up while maintaining via and metal shape density.

  • Publication number: 20230121331
    Abstract: Techniques for identifying and managing an organization's remote attack surface that account for the fluid nature of the remote attack surface are described. Data collected from organization-issued endpoint devices are obtained and analyzed to determine public IP addresses used by the endpoint devices. The devices connected to external networks (i.e., non-organization networks) at various time windows are identified by distinguishing between public IP addresses that are associated with the organization and those that are not. Data obtained from ongoing global probing of public IP addresses, which at least indicate software instances hosted on networks corresponding to the public IP address, are correlated with each public IP address determined to be associated with an external network to which an endpoint device has connected. From these data, any security risks that connections to external networks may pose to the organization's network can be identified.
