Patents by Inventor Stefan Linz

Stefan Linz has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9892284
    Abstract: A multithreaded system includes a processor core having a plurality of hardware threads. One or more of the hardware threads is dedicated to execute only trusted code and the remaining hardware threads are configured to execute untrusted code. The multithreaded system further includes a DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) server configured to communicate secure requests to one or more of the hardware threads dedicated to execute only trusted code and communicate other requests to one or more of the remaining hardware threads configured to execute untrusted code.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 11, 2014
    Date of Patent: February 13, 2018

  • Patent number: 7260490
    Abstract: In a method and device measuring a delay time of a section of a digital circuit, an output signal of the section is saved in different memory locations with a clock and earlier by a time interval with respect to the clock, different durations being assigned to the time interval. The delay time is determined as a function of the greatest of the different durations during which a test proceeds in a positive manner. The test proceeds in a positive manner if the value saved with the clock corresponds with the value saved so as to be earlier by the corresponding time interval.

  • Patent number: 6668356
    Abstract: In a method for computer-aided design of a circuit, a hardware description code of the circuit is created using logical circuit blocks, each circuit block being allocated a supply voltage. The hardware description code is transformed into a net list that contains logical cells and their connections. A specific supply voltage is assigned to each cell by a unique identifier. Afterward, a time sequence analysis of the circuit is performed taking account of the identifiers of the cells.
