  • ENCRYPTION OF SCAN CHAIN OUTPUT
    Publication number: 20250300821
    Abstract: Scan chain data of a system-on-chip (SoC) is protected from unauthorized access by an encryption circuit disposed on the SoC. A test access port (TAP) is coupled to the scan chain and is configured to shift data through the scan chain. The encryption circuit is coupled to the TAP and is configured to encrypt the data into encrypted data for output from the SoC.

  • Apparatus and method for back-projecting an image
    Patent number: 5485528
    Abstract: A back-projector for use in a CT or other imaging system. For each pixel in the image that is to be reconstructed, a plurality of views of a scanned object are used to generate values for the pixel. The values from the multiple views are combined to yield a pixel value in the reconstructed image. The invention improves the speed and efficiency of existing systems by optimizing memory design and data path size within the back-projector and by implementing a perfect rounding system.
