  • Publication number: 20240035323
    Abstract: A method to automatically audit the number of units within an enclosure having at least one door includes receiving from a remote telemetry device data indicating the number of times within a predetermined period of time a door has been opened to a predetermined open position relative to the enclosure, the predetermined open position of the door being specifically calibrated by a sensor device being mechanically set when the sensor device is installed on the enclosure proximal to the door as a position of the door between a closed position and a more fully opened position beyond the predetermined open position, to generate a door opening count, wherein the remote telemetry device includes a sensor configured to be adjustably calibrated to sense when the door is at the predetermined open position relative to the enclosure based upon the adjustable calibration, to generate the door opening count.

  • Publication number: 20240004611
    Abstract: Processing circuitry performs a processing operation to generate a two's complement result value representing a positive or negative number in two's complement representation. Normalization-and-rounding circuitry converts the two's complement result value to a normalized-and-rounded floating-point result value represented using sign-magnitude representation. The normalization-and-rounding circuitry comprises incrementing circuitry to perform an increment addition (e.g. a rounding increment or a conversion increment) to generate a fraction of the normalized-and-rounded floating-point result value. For an operation where the increment addition is required to be performed, tininess detection circuitry detects the after-rounding tininess status based on a still-to-be-incremented version of the normalized-and-rounded floating-point result value prior to the increment addition by the increment circuitry.

  • Publication number: 20230401311
    Abstract: Technologies for detecting an error using a message authentication code (MAC) associated with cache line data and differentiating the error as having been caused by an attack on memory or a MAC verification failure caused by an ECC escape. One memory buffer device includes an in-line memory encryption (IME) circuit to generate the MACs and verify the MACs. Upon a MAC verification failure, the memory buffer device can analyze at least one of the historical MAC verification failures or historical ECC-corrected errors over time to determine if the error is caused by an attack on memory.

  • Patent number: 11832230
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide for the pairing of an inter-band carrier with a time division duplex (TDD) carrier. If the paired band is a frequency division duplex (FDD) band, then base stations and mobile devices may transmit and receive additional thin control channels on FDD carriers to enable full duplex operations. If the paired band is a TDD band, then a conjugate or inverse carrier may be used such that full duplex, or a close approximation thereto, is achieved. With the introduction of a paired channel and fast control channels, rapid uplink/downlink switching may be achieved for TDD carriers efficiently and effectively. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
