  • Patent number: 11914738
    Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to a categorization system for categorizing a sensitive data field in a dataset, e.g., a disease classification according to the ICD classification. A client device is to obtain categories for one or more records of the dataset. The client device determines categorization data for the categorization. The categorization data comprises homomorphic encryptions of possible values of the sensitive data field and encodings of the categories associated to the respective possible values, thus keeping the categorization secret. A data provider device stores the dataset and determines homomorphic encryption indicating differences between the value of the sensitive data field for a record and respective possible values. A categorization device determines which of those encryptions indicates a match and provides a category encoding associated with a matching possible value to the client device. The client device associates the encoded category to the record.

  • Patent number: 11001143
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices of the various embodiments enable dynamic configuration of a number of display regions of interest (ROIs) associated with safety critical content presented on a display, such as a vehicle display. Various embodiments may enable verification of data integrity for ROIs on a display. Various embodiments may enable the selection of different sets of display ROIs from a plurality of independent sets of display ROIs each associated with its own set of stored integrity check values (ICVs). Various embodiments may enable stored ICVs to be used to verify the data integrity of ROIs on a display. Various embodiments may enable the set of display ROIs and the associated ICVs for each display ROI to be changed after a number of frames have been displayed.

  • Publication number: 20210118147
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for image processing are described. A device may determine a split-screen condition associated with a video image and perform an additional analysis to confirm the split-screen condition. In some examples, the device may generate a truncated image composed of one or more pixels located at each corner of a first image (e.g., a displayed image), and the device may process the truncated image to determine whether a split-screen condition is present for the displayed image. The device may use a continuality analysis, in which the device determines pixel values associated with multiple rows (or columns, or both) of a video image and compares differences between the pixel values at opposite ends of a video image to a threshold, to determine whether a split-screen condition is present. The device may then confirm a split-screen condition by processing the video image using an edge detection filter.

  • Publication number: 20210096901
    Abstract: A shared memory may be employed for use with a front end (e.g., a guest virtual machine (GVM) component) and a back end (e.g., native driver, physical virtual machine (PVM) component, hardware, etc.) of a virtualization system to allow the front end to influence (e.g., control) the occurrence of the virtual interrupt request (IRQ) forwarding from the back end. The shared memory may include one or more flags or one or more lists to allow the front end to control the behavior of the back end virtual IRQ forwarding logic without causing the back end to stop its existing processes. Thus, the front end may multiple numerous input/output (IO) requests, but the front end may only check the completion of some of the requests (e.g., based on work items written into the shared memory, by the front end, for back end processing and back end IRQ forwarding).

  • Patent number: 10012691
    Abstract: Various additional and alternative aspects are described herein. In some aspects, the present disclosure provides a method of testing a system-on-chip (SoC). The method includes generating data for a plurality of audio channels. The data comprises first data corresponding to a first audio channel and second data corresponding to a second audio channel. The method further includes outputting the first audio channel over a first output port of the SoC for output by a speaker. The method further includes outputting the second audio channel over a second output port. The method further includes looping back the second audio channel from the second output port to a first input port of the SoC as third data. The method further includes comparing the third data to the second data. The method further includes determining if the SoC is operating correctly based on the comparison of the third data to the second data.

  • Patent number: 9976459
    Abstract: Regeneration of a diesel particle filter of an internal combustion engine of a vehicle is controlled according to soot mass loading and the vehicle operating condition. Regeneration modes include active regeneration and forced passive regeneration, and operating conditions include highway, town and off-road driving. One strategy may determine initiation of regeneration, and another may determine cessation. Regeneration mode may change in real time.
