Publication number: 20100183148Abstract: According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method for protecting content in a broadcast-encryption-based system, where the devices in the system receive a recording key table. Each device generates a set of recording keys from the recording key table using a media key variant calculated from the broadcast encryption system's media key block. The digital content is encrypted in a title key picked by the recorder. The selected title key is also encrypted in each one of the recorder's generated recording keys. To play back the content, a player uses one of its generated recording keys to decrypt the title key and the decrypt the content. The recording key table is designed so that any two devices are guaranteed to have at least one key in common during normal operation, although during a forensic situation, this rule can be abandoned.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2009Publication date: July 22, 2010Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Thomas Alexander Bellwood, Robert Glen Deen, Hongxia Jin, Jeffrey Bruce Lotspiech, Sigfredo Ismael Nin, Matthew Francis Rutkowski

Publication number: 20100107129Abstract: Illustrative embodiments provide a computer-implemented method for resolving indeterminate states by inserting logic into a design. The computer-implemented method receives an original design input from a requester to form a received input and determines whether the received input contains an indeterminate output. Responsive to a determination that the received input contains an indeterminate output, the computer-implemented method generates a temporary design from the received input, wherein the temporary design contains “unique” output and all inputs, updates the temporary design, and synthesizes the original design and each temporary design individually to form a synthesized original design and a set of synthesized temporary designs. The computer-implemented method merges the synthesized original design with the set of synthesized temporary design to form a final design; and returns the final design to the requester.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2008Publication date: April 29, 2010Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Robert Glen Gerowitz, Michael Patrick Muhlada, Chad Everett Winemiller

Publication number: 20100057425Abstract: A system for creating manufacturing test rules. Stimuli for an electronic design are generated automatically by a stimuli generator. The stimuli generator takes into account certain limitations of the design when automatically generating the manufacturing test rules. The design is tested by a testbench using the stimuli. A simulation log for the design is generated by the testbench. The simulation log is then processed by a simulation log processor. An HDL representation of the design is generated by the simulation log processor using the processed simulation log. A gate-level version of the design is generated by a synthesis tool using the HDL representation of the design. The gate-level version of the design is further processed by the synthesis tool to make any necessary modifications. Then, the gate-level version of the design is outputted as the final manufacturing test rule. Thus, creating manufacturing test rules can be completely automated.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 2, 2008Publication date: March 4, 2010Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Robert Glen Gerowitz, Michael Patrick Muhlada, Chad Everett Winemiller

Publication number: 20100042396Abstract: The invention is generally directed to a method and apparatus for validating a specified manufacturing test rule, which pertains to an electronic component. One embodiment comprising a method includes the step of generating a file of test data sets, wherein each test data set in the file is valid for the rule. Each test data set includes a stimulus comprising one or more single input vectors, and further includes a set of results that are expected, when the stimulus is applied to the electronic component. The method further comprises constructing a testbench to prepare each of a plurality of testcases for simulation, wherein each testcase corresponds to the stimulus and the expected output results of one of the test data sets, and each testcase is disposed to be simulated separately, or independently, from every other testcase. The method further comprises selectively preparing each of the testcases for simulation, in order to provide simulated results for the stimulus corresponding to each testcase.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 14, 2008Publication date: February 18, 2010Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Carisa Anne Cassani, Robert Glen Gerowitz, Michael Patrick Muhlada, Chad Everett Winemiller

Publication number: 20090116323Abstract: A system for at-functional-clock-speed continuous scan array built-in self testing (ABIST) of multiport memory is disclosed. During ABIST testing, functional addressing latches from a first port are used as shadow latches for a second port's addressing latches. The arrangement reduces the amount of test-only hardware on a chip and reduces the need to write complex testing software. Higher level functions may be inserted between the shadow latches and the addressing latches to automatically provide functions such as inversions.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 7, 2009Publication date: May 7, 2009Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Robert Glen Gerowitz, Kenichi Tsuchiya

Patent number: 6681356Abstract: Scan chains are designed for an IC based on test coverage for functional logic units, Before physical placement the scan circuit elements are assigned scan attributes which define which scan circuit elements must remain coupled and also defines which groups of scan circuit elements must remain in selected groups. The scan chains and the logic are physically placed and location data on the scan circuit elements are determined from the placement data. Using the scan attributes, single scan circuit elements and scan circuit elements that must remain connected (sub-scan chains) are re-allocated across a same number of new scan chains. These scan circuit elements are rewired using an algorithm that minimizes scan path lengths within the new scan chains.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2000Date of Patent: January 20, 2004Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Robert Glen Gerowitz, Benjamin Edward Floering, Kenneth Patrick Zabrycki

Patent number: 6407569Abstract: Stuck-at fault, shorted and open circuit conditions occurring in the differential inputs to Differential Receivers on a Large Scale Integrated (LSI) chip are detected by a test circuit arrangement fabricated on the chip. The test circuit arrangement includes Pass Gate devices operatively coupled to the differential inputs and an Exclusive NOR circuit (XNOR) coupled to the Pass Gate devices. Pull devices are coupled to the Pass Gate devices and the differential inputs. By activating the Pass Gate devices and applying a test sequence to the differential inputs, the state of the output of the XNOR circuit indicates if an open circuit, stuck-at or short exists in the inputs to the Differential Receiver.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 1999Date of Patent: June 18, 2002Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jeffrey Paul Boettler, Robert Glen Gerowitz, William Arthur Noon, Howard James Schubert, Jr., Chad Everett Winemiller
