  • Patent number: 12216921
    Abstract: Technologies are disclosed for using hardware-embedded monitors to monitor pages of local memory and detect attribute violations or other unauthorized operations relating to the memory. The attribute violations may include mismatches of attributes (e.g., designating a page as writeable versus executable or vice versa) in entries in a translation buffer that point to a same physical address or other mismatches between designations of attributes for a page in physical and virtual space. Responsive to detecting a violation, an alert or other mitigation protocol, which may include an audit of activities surrounding the violation, may be performed.

  • Patent number: 12219478
    Abstract: A method for a first network device involves transmitting, to one or more second network devices, an uplink message that includes an indication of a receive window time interval, and may also include an indication of a request for a downlink message. The method also involves initiating a scheduled receive mode that causes the first network device to transition the first network device to a first power state, and perform a receive window procedure after the receive window time interval has elapsed. The receive window procedure includes transitioning the first network device to a second power state and listening for the downlink message for a duration of time. The method further involves determining that an expiration condition has been met while the first network device is in the scheduled receive mode. Additionally, the method involves terminating the scheduled receive mode upon determining that the expiration condition has been met.

  • Patent number: 12218576
    Abstract: An isolated gate driver has a first portion in a first voltage domain and a second portion in a second voltage domain. The first and second portions are coupled by an isolation communication channel. The isolated gate driver transmits across the isolation communication channel a serial word containing first drive strength information and simultaneously transmits gate information with the serial word across the isolation communication channel. The gate information indicates a state of a gate signal for a transistor coupled to the second portion of the isolated gate driver. A demodulator circuit demodulates a signal containing the gate information and the drive strength information transmitted across the isolation communication channel in the serial word. A gate signal output circuit coupled to the demodulator circuit supplies the gate signal based on the gate information with a drive strength of the gate signal being based on the drive strength information.

  • Patent number: 12217737
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed and described for correcting errors in ASR transcriptions. For an incorrect transcription, different words or phrases from the transcription, and/or related words or phrases, are submitted as hint words to the ASR system, and the voice query is submitted again, to determine new transcriptions. This process is repeated with different transcription terms, until a different and more proper transcription is generated. This increases the accuracy of ASR systems.

  • Patent number: 12218912
    Abstract: According to one or more embodiments of the disclosure, a networking device receives a policy for an endpoint in a network. The policy specifies one or more component tags and one or more activity tags that were assigned to the endpoint based on deep packet inspection of traffic associated with the endpoint. The networking device identifies a set of tags for a particular traffic flow in the network associated with the endpoint. The set of tags comprises one or more component tags or activity tags associated with the particular traffic flow. The networking device makes a determination that the particular traffic flow violates the policy based on the set of tags comprising a tag that is not in the policy. The networking device initiates, based on the determination that the particular traffic flow violates the policy, a corrective measure with respect to the particular traffic flow.
