Patent number: 11734457Abstract: A processor that was manufactured by a manufacturer comprises privileged debug operational circuitry, a debug restriction fuse, a credential store, a credential of the manufacturer in the credential store, and debug control circuitry. The debug restriction fuse is a one-time programmable fuse. The debug control circuitry is to automatically restrict access to the privileged debug operational circuitry, based on the debug restriction fuse. The processor may also include public debug operational circuitry, a prevent-unauthorized-debug (PUD) fuse, and an undo-PUD fuse. When the PUD fuse is set and the undo-PUD fuse is clear, the debug control circuitry may respond to an attempt by a debugger to use the public debug operational circuitry by determining whether the debugger is authorized, disallowing access if the debugger is not authorized, and allowing access if the debugger is authorized. Other embodiments are described and claimed.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2019Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Neel Piyush Shah, Enrico David Carrieri, Aditya Katragada, Jonathan Mark Lutz, Michael Carl Neve de Mevergnies, Bhavana Prabhakar

Publication number: 20220371128Abstract: An apparatus for laser processing of very wide non-woven fabric materials at high speeds. This invention enables a laser beam to sever, perforate and pattern a large piece of fabric materials planarly disposed at regular or irregular spatial intervals over the entire width while the fabric passes from one roller to another roller at high speeds by precisely managing focus and intensity of the beam at the focal point on the web. A control system managing the laser processing system enables rapid reconfiguration of perforation patterns. The fabric can be woven or nonwoven, homogeneous or nonhomogeneous material with uniform or nonuniform thickness. An optical sensor is provided to sense the laser processing as it is performed and provide feedback to a system controller to optimize laser processing performance in real time.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2020Publication date: November 24, 2022Inventors: Michael Carl CHASE, Dave WOLFE, John Madden MATHY, Jr., Xinpeng DU, Xiaoming YU, Aravinda KAR, Arifur RAHAMAN
