  • Publication number: 20200065527
    Abstract: Implementations provide for a system configured to provide multiple security layers. The system includes a memory device storing instructions and data corresponding to processes. The system includes a first processor associated with a first security layer that is configured to provide first cryptographic information corresponding to the particular application. The system further includes a logical resolution circuit that is configured to receive the first cryptographic information, and provide second cryptographic information based on the first cryptographic information, an indication of an instruction or data, and a process identifier (ID) of the particular application. The system also includes a cryptographic element associated with a second security layer that is configured to decrypt, using the second cryptographic information, encrypted instructions or data corresponding to the particular application.

  • Patent number: 8526303
    Abstract: Herein described are at least a system and a method for regulating data flow in a data pipeline that may be used in a video processing system. The system comprises a processor, one or more data buffers, and one or more processing stations. The one or more data buffers may be used to buffer corresponding processing stations. Each of the one or more processing stations may comprise a switching circuitry that is used to inhibit data transmission when a hold signal is received from the processor. The processor may send the signal in response to a feedback control signal generated by the one or more processing stations. The method may comprise determining if the processing time of a processing station exceeds a specified time. The method further comprises generating a feedback control signal to a processor if the specified time is exceeded.

  • Patent number: 8081656
    Abstract: Herein described is a system and method for improving the performance in which data packets are processed in a set-top-box. The system determines and stores one or more values into a memory. The one or more values in memory are subsequently utilized when a firmware is executed. These values are used to efficiently index locations within one or more data packets, such that processing performance is improved. Based on the types of packets received by the set-top-box, the hardware assistance provided by the system may be gradually increased or attenuated to optimize the performance in which the data packets are processed. The method involves determining the one or more values, storing the one or more values in a memory, and using said one or more values to effectively index one or more data fields in the one or more data packets.

  • Publication number: 20080061050
    Abstract: An arc-welding contact tip to be provided to a welding torch for establishing an electric connection with a consumable electrode fed to a welding zone through the contact tip during welding operations is disclosed. The contact tip includes a housing to be secured to the welding torch and defining an elongated interior passage through which the consumable electrode is to be fed to the welding zone while the welding operations are being performed. At least a portion of a peripheral surface defining the interior passage is provided with an electrically conductive metal alloy comprising copper and tungsten. Further, the metal alloy includes about 50% by weight to about 90% by weight tungsten.

  • Patent number: 7191493
    Abstract: A grab handle and bezel assembly includes a bezel and a grab handle capable of being received within the bezel. The grab handle is generally non-circular in cross section for properly locating the grab handle within the bezel and for preventing rotation of the grab handle. For example, the grab handle can be D-shaped in cross section having an arcuate surface portion defining a Class “A” surface that is visible to an occupant, and a flat surface portion defining a Class “B” surface that is not visible to the occupant. In this manner, an amount of Class “A” surface treatment of the grab handle can be minimized, thereby reducing the cost of the grab handle and bezel assembly. The grab handle and bezel assembly can securely mounted to a trim component, such as a door bolster, by disposing opposite ends of the grab handle between opposing walls of the bezel and passing a fastener through the door bolster, the bezel and the grab handle.
