  • Publication number: 20150039239
    Abstract: Processor-based methods and systems and computer programs for remote animal health monitoring receive and process data relating to animal health parameters obtained from a plurality of different types of sensors. Baseline data signatures are determined from the data obtained for individual animals, and as data is subsequently collected is compared to the current data signature to assess animal health. Deviations from the signatures may serve to predictively diagnose certain conditions and facilitate medical intervention before adverse physical symptoms are manifested. Informational data and analytics are made available to animal owners, health care providers, and other interested persons.

  • Publication number: 20150036292
    Abstract: An electrical device is described for use in an automotive vehicle. The device includes a printed circuit board (PCB) having first and second sides. The PCB is adapted for multiple electronic components to be mounted to the first side, including a first component at a first position and a second component at a second position.

  • Publication number: 20150035455
    Abstract: A single wire serial interface for power ICs and other devices is provided. To use the interface, a device is configured to include an EN/SET input pin. A counter within the device counts clock pulses sent to the EN/SET input pin. The output of the counter is passed to a ROM or other decoder circuit. The ROM selects an operational state for the device that corresponds to the value of the counter. In this way, control states may be selected for the device by sending corresponding clock pulses to the EN/SET pin. Holding the EN/SET pin high causes the device to maintain its operational state. Holding the EN/SET pin low for a predetermined timeout period resets the counter and causes the device to adopt a predetermined configuration (such as off) until new clock pulses are received at the EN/SET pin.

  • Publication number: 20150039905
    Abstract: A system and method of processing an encrypted instruction stream in hardware is disclosed. Main memory stores the encrypted instruction stream and unencrypted data. A central processing unit (CPU) is operatively coupled to the main memory. A decryptor is operatively coupled to the main memory and located within the CPU. The decryptor decrypts the encrypted instruction stream upon receipt of an instruction fetch signal from a CPU core. Unencrypted data is passed through to the CPU core without decryption upon receipt of a data fetch signal.
