Patent number: 10836195Abstract: A technique is described for the application of three-dimensional (3D) relief to a substrate such as a ceramic tile using digital inkjet technology. In an example embodiment, the introduced technique includes application of binder ink to a portion of the surface of a substrate using a digital inkjet process. This binder ink forms a barrier layer which protects the portion of the surface of the substrate. Next, a brushing process is applied to remove unprotected portions of the substrate, thereby forming the 3D relief in the substrate.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2018Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignee: ELECTRONICS FOR IMAGING, INC.Inventors: Mark Zavada, Matthew Tennis, David Weber, Alexander Meranto, Carlos Carratalá, Fernando Tomás Badenes, Louis Justus Fage, Ursula Good, Paul Andrew Edwards, Robert Roggers, John Hansen

Patent number: 10785017Abstract: Techniques for mitigating timing attacks via dynamically scaled time dilation are provided. According to one set of embodiments, a computer system can enable time dilation with respect to a program, where the time dilation causes the program to observe a dilated view of time relative to real time. Then, while the time dilation is enabled, the computer system can track a count of application programming interface (API) calls or callbacks made by a program within each of a series of time buckets and, based on counts tracked for a range of recent time buckets, scale up or scale down a degree of the time dilation.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2018Date of Patent: September 22, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jason Weber, Tobin Titus, Daniel Libby, Brian Manthos, Colin Pacitti, Pengxiang Zhao, Matthew Miller, Jordan Thomas Rabet, John Hazen

Publication number: 20190327075Abstract: Techniques for mitigating timing attacks via dynamically triggered time dilation are provided. According to one set of embodiments, a computer system can track a count of application programming interface (API) calls or callbacks made by a program within each of a series of time buckets. The computer system can further determine that the count exceeds a threshold count for a predefined consecutive number of time buckets. Upon making this determination, the computer system can trigger time dilation with respect to the program, where the time dilation causes the program to observe a dilated view of time relative to real time.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2018Publication date: October 24, 2019Inventors: Jason WEBER, Tobin TITUS, Daniel LIBBY, Brian MANTHOS, Colin PACITTI, Pengxiang ZHAO, Matthew MILLER, Jordan Thomas RABET, John HAZEN
