Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for providing a secured framework for facilitating electronic transactions using a multi-party computation approach. Under the multi-party computation approach, the task of authenticating a transaction conducted through a user account is distributed among multiple computer nodes. One or more secrets and shares of a secret are distributed among the multiple computer nodes. An authentication process is implemented such that at least a portion of the multiple computer nodes, including one or more required nodes, exceeding a predetermined number of nodes are needed to perform a set of computations using the corresponding secret(s) and/or shares of the secret in order to generate a digital signature for the user account. By verifying the digital signature using a public key of the user account, it can be determined that the participation requirement has been satisfied.

Abstract: A Media Analytics Co-optimizer (MAC) engine that utilizes available motion and scene information to increase the activation sparsity in artificial intelligence (AI) visual media applications. In an example, the MAC engine receives video frames and associated video characteristics determined by a video decoder and reformats the video frames by applying a threshold level of motion to the video frames and zeroing out areas that fall below the threshold level of motion. In some examples, the MAC engine further receives scene information from an optical flow engine or event processing engine and reformats further based thereon. The reformatted video frames are consumed by the first stage of AI inference.

Abstract: A wind turbine is provided. The wind turbine includes a plurality of control systems. The wind turbine further includes a reflective memory system. The plurality of control systems is coupled with the reflective memory system. Each of the plurality of control systems may include a respective memory of the reflective memory system. In response to data being written into one of the respective memories, the reflective memory system may automatically replicate the data to other respective memories.
