Patent number: 10701097Abstract: A non-transitory processor-readable medium stores code that represents instructions that, when executed at a processor, cause the processor to access an attack description; intercept a data set from an application via an application programming interface (API), where the intercepted data set is based on an attack data set and where the attack data set is used to test for a security vulnerability in the application; correlate, using a Hamming distance, the intercepted data set with the attack description using a correlation type identifier; and report the security vulnerability for the application in response to the intercepted data set based at least in part on a result of the correlation.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2011Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: MICRO FOCUS LLCInventors: Matias Madou, Brian V.

Patent number: 9954085Abstract: A tunnel field-effect transistor device includes a p-type GaN source layer, an ntype GaN drain layer, and an interlayer interfaced between the source-layer and the drain layer. These devices employ polarization engineering in GaN/InN heterojunctions to achieve appreciable interband tunneling current densities. In one example, the interlayer includes an Indium Nitride (InN) layer. In one example, the interlayer includes a graded Indium gallium nitride layer and an InN layer. In one example, the interlayer may include a graded Indium gallium nitride (InxGa1-xN) layer and an Indium gallium nitride (InGaN) layer. In one example, the tunnel field-effect transistor device includes an in-line configuration. In one example, the tunnel field-effect transistor device includes a side-wall configuration. In one example, the tunnel field-effect transistor device includes a nanowire cylindrical gate-all-around geometry to achieve a high degree of gate electrostatic control.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2016Date of Patent: April 24, 2018Assignee: University of Notre Dame due LacInventors: Patrick Fay, Lina Cao, Debdeep Jena, Wenjun Li

Patent number: 8796733Abstract: A low voltage tunnel field effect transistor includes a p-n tunnel junction, a gate-dielectric, a gate, a source-contact, and a drain-contact. The p-n tunnel junction includes a depletion region interfacing together a source-layer and a drain-layer. The depletion region includes a source-tunneling-region of the source-layer and a drain-tunneling-region of the drain-layer. When no external electric field is imposed, the depletion region of the p-n tunnel junction has an internal electric field that substantially points towards the source-tunneling-region and the drain-tunneling-region. The gate-dielectric is interfaced directly onto the drain-tunneling-region such that the drain-tunneling-region is between the source-tunneling-region and the gate-dielectric. The gate is interfaced onto the gate-dielectric such that the gate is configured to impose an external electric field which is oriented substantially in parallel to the internal electric field of the depletion region.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2011Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignees: University of Notre Dame du Lac, International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Alan C.
