Abstract: A method of identifying scleral reflections in an eye tracking system is disclosed. A glint is identified in an image from an image sensor, wherein the glint is a representation in the image of a reflection of light from a cornea of the eye of the user or from a sclera of the eye of the user. A first pixel intensity of the glint is determined, a second pixel intensity of neighbor pixels of the glint is determined, and an absolute value of the difference between the first pixel intensity of the glint and the second pixel intensity of the neighbor pixels of the glint is determined. The glint is identified as a representation of a reflection from the sclera of the eye of the user on condition that the determined absolute value of the difference is below a predetermine threshold value.

Abstract: Methods and systems for allowing software components that operate at a specific exception level (e.g., EL-3 to EL-1, etc.) to repeatedly or continuously observe or evaluate the integrity of software components operating at a lower exception level (e.g., EL-2 to EL-0) to ensure that the software components have not been corrupted or compromised (e.g., subjected to malware, cyberattacks, etc.) include a computing device that identifies, by a component operating at a higher exception level (“HEL component”), at least one of a current vector base address (VBA), an exception raising instruction (ERI) address, or a control and system register value associated with a component operating at a lower exception level (“LEL component”).

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods that can adjust the performance of a transimpedance amplifier (TIA) in order to compensate for changing environmental and/or manufacturing conditions. In some embodiments, the changing environmental and/or manufacturing conditions may cause a reduction in beta of a bipolar junction transistor (BJT) in the TIA. A low beta may result in a high base current for the BJT causing the output voltage of the TIA to be formatted as an unusable signal output. To compensate for the low beta, the TIA generates an intermediate signal voltage, based on the base current and beta that is compared with the PN junction bias voltage on another BJT. Based on the comparison, the state of a digital state machine may be incremented, and a threshold base current is determined. This threshold base current may decide whether to compensate the operation of the TIA, or discard the chip.

An input of the correction circuit is coupled to an output of the decision circuit. The control circuit maps the preliminary input correction signal into the input correction signal using a nonlinear code mapping.

Abstract: Switches within a telecommunications network exchange so-called available bandwidth messages, each of which advertises how much bandwidth remains unassigned on a respective link. The network is of a type in which circuits are provisioned with various predefined numbers of time slots (equivalent to bandwidth). The sending of an available bandwidth message for a given link is triggered by a change in the number of time slots available on that link if that change results in a change in the number of circuit bandwidths that can be accommodated by that link for a newly provisioned circuit.
