Abstract: A pipeline ADC comprising an ADC segment and a digital backend coupled to the ADC segment. In some examples the ADC is configured to receive an analog signal, generate a first partial digital code representing a first sample of the analog signal, and generate a second partial digital code representing a second sample of the analog signal. In some examples the digital backend is configured to receive the first and second partial digital codes from the ADC segment, generate a combined digital code based at least partially on the first and second partial digital codes, determine a gain error of the ADC segment based at least partially on a first correlation of a PRBS with a difference between the first and second partial digital codes, and apply a first correction to the combined digital code based at least partially on the gain error of the ADC segment.

Abstract: A method of securing data transport between an endpoint device, without an IP address and connected to a gateway device, and a connected service using a discovery agent, a discovery service, and an enrollment service. The method includes: sending to the discovery service on the gateway device, an authenticated identity beacon with a device profile of the endpoint device; verifying authentication of the endpoint device and the device profile and generating a certificate request for the endpoint device; processing, by the enrollment service, the certificate request for the endpoint device to translate the certificate request for a certificate authority and receiving a certificate for the endpoint device issued by the certificate authority; processing the received certificate for the endpoint device to translate the received certificate for the endpoint device to represent a privacy certificate authority; and performing cryptographic operations on data using the certificate for the endpoint device.

Abstract: The method provides a multi system trust chain between a client system and a remote system in a secure connection, wherein an intermediary system associated with the network flow path serves as a signing entity to establish an end to end transitive trust. The intermediate system is a corroborative entity in the operations technology (OT) realm of the client system. The remote system serves as the host for a plurality of services in the information technology (IT) realm. A two way handshake during the initial secure exchange protocol between a local client application and a remote service is extended to a three way handshake that includes a nonce issued by the remote service on the remote system and a digital signature for the nonce issued by a signature service on an associated intermediate system. The nonce signature is verified authoritatively at the remote system based on the signing certificate of the intermediate system for explicit proof of association.

Abstract: The disclosure provides an analog to digital converter (ADC). The ADC includes a flash ADC. The flash ADC generates a flash output in response to an input signal, and an error correction block generates a known pattern. A selector block is coupled to the flash ADC and the error correction block, and generates a plurality of selected signals in response to the flash output and the known pattern. A digital to analog converter (DAC) is coupled to the selector block, and generates a coarse analog signal in response to the plurality of selected signals. A residue amplifier is coupled to the DAC, and generates a residual analog signal in response to the coarse analog signal, the input signal and an analog PRBS (pseudo random binary sequence) signal. A residual ADC generates a residual code in response to the residual analog signal.

Abstract: A method provides policy based adaptive application capability management and device attestation for dynamic control of remote device operations. The method includes instrumenting applications installed on a remote device to examine their runtime application programming interface (API) invocations to trusted functions abstracted by a trusted services platform anchored to an underlying firmware, software or hardware root of trust, and managing the application security operations based on the execution context and dynamic privilege controls to restrict their capabilities. The invention also provides a local attestation agent to perform state measurements for platform trust, configuration and operational metrics, and generates device policy based platform and application level alerts.

Abstract: An on-demand and real-time evidence based cost modeling and predictive analysis system, and a financial incentives based plan to reduce healthcare costs. An analytics system that includes a data aggregator and regression models generates incremental expenditures among overweight and obese individuals, predictive forecasts of future medical costs, and predictive forecasts of cost reduction based on financial incentives to recipients. The forecasts may include interactions, personalized variables, statistical trends, prevalence of diseases based on body mass index and/or age, and medical evidence associated with specific illnesses. A computer-based program may process and analyze variables in healthcare records. A health insurance provider may provide an annual rebate on paid premiums to recipients based on a qualifying annual BMI as an incentive.

Abstract: A method of packet management for restricting access to a resource of a computer system. The method includes identifying client parameters and network parameters, as a packet management information, used to determine access to the resource, negotiating a session key between client and server devices, generating a session ID based on at least the negotiated session key, inserting the packet management information and the session ID into each information packet sent from the client device to the server device, monitoring packet management information in each information packet from the client device, and filtering out respective information packets sent to the server device from the client device when the monitored packet management information indicates that access to the resource is restricted.
