Abstract: In one set of embodiments, one or more client stations operate to configure Neighbor Awareness Networking (NAN)—direct communication with neighboring client stations, i.e., direct communication between the client stations without utilizing an intermediate access point. Embodiments of the disclosure relate to NAN datapath scheduling and NAN pre-datapath operation setup and scheduling. The NAN datapath embodiments described herein provide a mechanism through which devices can communicate and provide services. Aspects of the datapath development include datapath scheduling, including datapath setup and scheduling attributes, as well as pre-datapath operation triggering and scheduling. Scheduling may include determination of a type of datapath, including paging and synchronized datapaths. NAN data cluster base schedules may be scheduled as equal-sets or subsets of datapath schedules. The datapath model may be implemented for unicast and multicast communication between client stations.

Abstract: A refresh command is communicated to a memory device to initiate an interruptible refresh which contains multiple segment refreshes separated by interrupt boundaries. A command is communicated to the memory device before execution of a segment refresh and the segment refresh is delayed at an interrupt boundary. Alternatively, a first number of commands in a queue is determined. A first number of segment refreshes to execute is determined based on the first number of commands. The first number of segment refreshes to execute is communicated to the memory device to cause execution of the first number of segment refreshes. A second number of commands in the queue is determined. A second number of segment refreshes to execute is determined based on the second number of commands. The second number of segment refreshes to execute is communicated to the memory device to cause execution of the second number of segment refreshes.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a phosphate framework electrode material for sodium ion battery and a method for synthesizing such electrode material. A surfactant and precursors including a sodium precursor, a phosphate precursor, a transition metal precursor are dissolved in a solvent and stirred for sufficient mixing and reaction. The precursors are reacted to yield a precipitate of particles of NaxAbMy(PO4)zXn compound and with the surfactant attached to the particles. The solvent is then removed and the remaining precipitate is sintered to crystallize the particles. During sintering, the surfactant is decomposed to form a carbon network between the crystallized particles and the crystallized particles and the carbon matrix are integrated to form the electrode material.

Abstract: In authentication in global attestation, a server receives a request for access to a location based service. The server establishes a connection with a first device and with a second device, wherein the devices are connected by a location bounded network. The server sends a key order information to the first device and a first plurality of keys to the second device. The server receives a second plurality of keys from the first device, wherein the second plurality of keys is an ordered set of keys compiled using the key order information and the first plurality of keys. The server determines that the second plurality of keys received from the first device matches an expected plurality of keys. The server outputs, to the location based service, a notification indicating a result of the determining that the second plurality of keys matches the expected plurality of keys.

Abstract: This disclosure includes a method for securing a memory of an electronic system that includes initializing the memory, creating a security key, transmitting the security key to memory, storing the security key in the memory, transmitting the current security key and a a new security key to the memory by the memory controller. If the current security key transmitted is the same as the security key stored in memory, then access to the memory is enabled and the current security key in the memory is replaced with the new security key. If the current security key transmitted is not the same as the security key stored in the memory, then access to the memory is disabled.
