Abstract: A secure programming system and method for provisioning and programming a target payload into a programmable device mounted in a programmer. The programmable device can be authenticated before programming to verify the device is a valid device produced by a silicon vendor. The authentication process can include a challenge-response validation. The target payload can be programmed into the programmable device and linked with an authorized manufacturer. The programmable device can be verified after programming the target payload by verifying the silicon vendor and the authorized manufacturer. The secure programming system can provision different content into different programmable devices simultaneously to create multiple final device types in a single pass.

Abstract: Automated techniques for converting network devices from a Layer 2 (L2) network into a Layer 3 (L3) network in a hierarchical manner are described herein. The network devices may be configured to boot such that their ports are in an initialization mode in which the ports are unable to transmit locally generated DHCP packets. When a network device detects that a neighbor (or “peer”) device has acquired an IP address or has been configured by a network controller, then the port on which the neighbor device is detected can then be transitioned from the initialization mode into a forwarding mode. In the forwarding mode, the port can be used to transmit packets to obtain an IP address. Thus, the network devices are converted from an L2 device to an L3 device in a hierarchical order such that upstream devices are discovered and converted into L3 devices before downstream devices.

Abstract: This Application sets forth techniques for managing communication with wireless devices that have been flagged due to certain activity. In particular, the techniques effectively eliminate unnecessary interactions and enable enhanced user feedback when wireless devices that have been flagged are attempting to interact with mobile network operators (MNOs). The techniques can be implemented by a variety of entities to achieve different and efficient results under various scenarios. Such entities can include, for example, i) equipment identity registries that track unique identifiers of wireless devices that have been flagged due to certain activity, ii) MNO servers, such as SM-DP+ servers, and iii) wireless devices.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described in which an access point (AP) may advertise Internet connection quality information in a beacon transmission or probe request. The AP may measure one or more metrics associated with Internet access, and provide an indication of the metrics in an information element transmitted to one or more stations (STAs). In some examples, an Internet connection quality information element may include one or more fields associated with connection metrics, such as Internet reachability, link latency, available uplink bandwidth, and available downlink bandwidth. STAs may look for the Internet connection quality information element and may decide whether to connect to an AP based on the indicated metrics.

Abstract: This invention provides an improved display system and method that is created by adjusting the properties of one or more displays to obtain coarse control over display behavior, by using sensors to optimize display parameters. The display is further improved by constructing a display map by selectively driving the display and sensing the optical image created. Furthermore, the sensors are used to ensure that the resulting optimized display meets target quality measurements over time, potentially taking into account ambient conditions. The system reports on status, and can predict when it no longer meets a quality target. It is able to optimize a display system and keep it optimized over time. Individual displays with the display system can have operating points that are matched to each other. Corrections to the input image signal, delivering improved display system performance, are minimized, and therefore, unwanted artifacts of those changes can be minimized.

Abstract: A class of complex logic gates are presented that use non-linear polar material. The logic gates include multi-input majority gates. At least one input to an individual multi-input majority gate is a fixed input. Other inputs are driven to non-linear input capacitors on their respective first terminals. The second terminals of the non-linear input capacitors are coupled a summing node, which provides a majority function of the inputs. The summing node is coupled to a CMOS logic. Leakage through the capacitors is configured such that capacitors of a majority gate have substantially equal leakage, and this leakage has a I-V behavior which is symmetric. As such, reset device(s) on the summing node are not used. The non-linear charge response from the non-linear input capacitors results in output voltages close to or at rail-to-rail voltage levels, which reduces the high leakage problem faced from majority gates that use linear input capacitors.
