  • Publication number: 20240012946
    Abstract: Security measures for signal paths with tree structures can be implemented at design phase using an EDA software program or tool with security feature functionality that, when executed by a computing system, directs the computing system to: display a canvas through which components of a circuit are arranged; and provide a menu of commands, including an option to add components from a library to the canvas and an option to secure a tree. In response to receiving a selection of the option to secure the tree, the system can be directed to add a hardware countermeasure coupled to at least two lines or terminal nodes of a tree structure identified from components on the canvas or in a netlist corresponding to a circuit's design.

  • Publication number: 20230018185
    Abstract: A method for obfuscating data at-transit can include receiving, at a first component on a chip, an instruction request for communicating a first data to a second component on the chip. The first component can be a processor and the second component can be an associated memory. The method can further include, determining a sequence of data arranged to obfuscate the first data while including valid bits of the first data, wherein the sequence of data indicates what is to be conveyed across lines on the chip during each time slot over a window of time controlled by a clock signal on the chip; and providing, over the window of time, the first data to the second component across the lines on the chip according to the sequence of data.

  • Patent number: 11461505
    Abstract: A method for obfuscation of operations using minimal additional hardware is presented herein. The method can begin by executing a first iteration of a set of computations, the execution of the set of computations resulting in a first iteration output. The method can continue by executing a second iteration of the set of computations, wherein the second execution is distinct from the first iteration but should satisfy a matching condition. The distinction can be a rearrangement of sub-operations, insertion of dummy sub-operations, or a combination of the two. After the iterations are complete, the iteration outputs can be compared. If the comparison of the first iteration output and the second iteration output satisfy the matching condition, the process result can be output. If the matching condition is not satisfied, an error detected signal can be output.

  • Patent number: 11192939
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods and compositions for converting a first polypeptide into a chimeric polypeptide. The invention includes two vectors: a first vector including the sequence of the first polypeptide and a second vector including a second polypeptide. The vectors include complementary site-specific recombination motifs such that site-specific recombination between the two vectors results in the generation of a chimeric polypeptide including at least a portion of the first polypeptide and at least a portion of the second polypeptide. A site-specific recombination motif may be positioned within an intron or within a coding sequence on the first or second vector.

  • Publication number: 20210346559
    Abstract: Systems and methods using EMR and other directed energies emitted at surfaces, objects and body parts, to kill, neutralize, eliminate, remove or otherwise treat or influence objects, species, dirt, weeds, worms, pests, bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi, other pathogens and other organic and inorganic matter from target surfaces are disclosed. One embodiment includes selecting an at least one first set of parameters of directed energy, wherein the at least one first set of parameters may include one or more of a wavelength, frequency, amplitude, duration, acceleration, deceleration, pulsation, and pulsation period; emitting the directed energy based on the selected at least one first set of parameters at a target surface; measuring in real-time the temperature of the target surface; and pausing the emitting of directed energy once a trigger occurs. This process may be repeated with different sets of parameters and directed energies and carried out in series or simultaneously.

  • Patent number: 11066662
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an efficient method of generating a library of variants of a sequence of interest, such as may be used in directed evolution, in one embodiment, the method includes an amplification reaction, e.g. error-prone PCR, to generate double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) variants of a sequence of interest, after which one strand of the dsDNA variants may be selectively degraded to produce single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) variants. The ssDNA variants may be hybridized to ssDNA intermediaries, e.g., uracilated circular ssDNA intermediaries, to form heteroduplex DNA, which may be transformed into cells, such as E. coli cells, yielding a library of variants. This method eliminates the inefficient sub-cloning steps and the need for costly primer sets required by many prior methods.
