Abstract: An integrated circuit may include multiple instances of a component (e.g. a processor) and a control circuit. The instances may be configured to operate in various modes. Some of the modes are incapable of presenting a worst-case load on the power supply. The control circuit may be configured to monitor the instances and detect the modes in which the instances are operating. Based on the monitoring, the control circuit may request to recover a portion of the voltage margin established for worst-case conditions in the instances.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods related to applying lighting models to images of objects are provided. An example method includes applying a geometry model to an input image to determine a surface orientation map indicative of a distribution of lighting on an object based on a surface geometry. The method further includes applying an environmental light estimation model to the input image to determine a direction of synthetic lighting to be applied to the input image. The method also includes applying, based on the surface orientation map and the direction of synthetic lighting, a light energy model to determine a quotient image indicative of an amount of light energy to be applied to each pixel of the input image. The method additionally includes enhancing, based on the quotient image, a portion of the input image. One or more neural networks can be trained to perform one or more of the aforementioned aspects.

Abstract: Methods and systems disclosed herein describe tokenizing data to generate a secure token that is limited in scope (e.g., directed to a specific recipient) and limited in time (e.g., valid for only a specified period of time). A detokenization process may be employed to recover encrypted data of the secure token without the need for any relational database lookup processes, thereby reducing cost while maintaining robust protection against unintended recipients that attempt to recover the encrypted data.

Abstract: Display systems for simultaneously directing different images to different viewers. A display system is constructed with a display panel with multiple folds that create a number of angled display surfaces. These angled surfaces are oriented so that some surfaces are angled in one direction to project one image to viewers at one location, and the remaining surfaces are angled in a different direction to project a different image to viewers at another location. The folded display panel may be actuated, to change the angles at which display surfaces are oriented, and thus adjust the directions in which images are displayed. In this manner, the display may project images to differing users as they change their locations. Multiple users may thus enjoy differing content at the same time, from the same display device.
