  • Inter-cloud broker for hybrid cloud networks
    Patent number: 10129177
    Abstract: A cloud broker gateway interfaces with an enterprise network and one or more public cloud networks, including a first public cloud and a second public cloud. The cloud broker gateway receives a request for one or more computing resources from a tenant associated with the enterprise network, and directs the request to the first public cloud based on a brokerage policy for the tenant. The cloud broker gateway receives a response indicating the first public cloud cannot provide the one or more computing resources, and redirects the request to the second public cloud based on the brokerage policy for the tenant. The cloud broker gateway also establishes a hybrid cloud that provides access to the one or more computing resources between the second public cloud and the enterprise network.

  • Adaptive bilateral (BL) filtering for computer vision
    Patent number: 10121231
    Abstract: A method for filtering noise for imaging includes receiving an image frame having position and range data. A filter size divides the frame into filter windows for processing each of the filter windows. For the first pixel, a space to the center pixel and a range difference between this pixel and the center pixel is determined and used for choosing a selected weight from weights in a 2D weight LUT including weighting for space and range difference, a filtered range value is calculated by applying the selected 2D weight to the pixel, and the range, filtered range value and selected 2D weight are summed. The determining, choosing, calculating and summing are repeated for at least the second pixel. A total sum of contributions from the first and second pixel are divided by the sum of selected 2D weights to generate a final filtered range value for the center pixel.

  • Method and apparatus for performing sign-off timing analysis of circuit designs using inter-power domain logic
    Patent number: 10114920
    Abstract: A netlist of a multiple voltage circuit design having a plurality of power domains is established, then inter-power domain (IPD) paths traversing the circuit design are identified, according to whether they traverse multi-supply elements, or are clock paths capturing such a path. The netlist is then pruned to disable or remove cells or stages not traversed by an IPD path. A timing analyzer conducts a multi-domain timing analysis of the IPD timing paths in the pruned IPD netlist. Thereby, the circuit design is thoroughly tested according to the applicable ranges of voltage conditions without excessive runtime.

  • Third party email signature generation and authentication
    Patent number: 10116609
    Abstract: Technologies are described related to third party email signature generation and authentication. A DKIM signature may be stamped in a way such that the “From” address is encoded in the selector.

  • ADAPTIVE 3D PRINTING
    Publication number: 20180307209
    Abstract: Methods provide for fabricating objects through additive manufacturing in a manner that compensates for deformations introduced during post-print processing, such as sintering. An initial model may be divided into a plurality of segments, the initial model defining geometry of an object. For each of the segments, modified geometry may be calculated, where the modified geometry compensates for a predicted deformation. Print parameters can then be updated to incorporate the modified geometry, where the print parameters define geometry of the printed object (e.g., configuration settings of the printer, a tool path, an object model). The object may then be printed based on the updated print parameters.

  • Hydrogenation and nitridization processes for modifying effective oxide thickness of a film
    Patent number: 10103027
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein generally relate to enable the formation of a metal gate structure with a reduced effective oxide thickness over a similar structure formed via conventional methods. A plasma hydrogenation process followed by a plasma nitridization process is performed on a metal nitride layer in a film stack, thereby removing oxygen atoms disposed within layers of the film stack and, in some embodiments eliminating an oxygen-containing interfacial layer disposed within the film stack. As a result, an effective oxide thickness of the metal gate structure is reduced with little or no accompanying flatband voltage shift. Further, the metal gate structure operates with an increased leakage current that is as little as one quarter the increase in leakage current associated with a similar metal gate structure formed via conventional techniques.
