  • Patent number: 11975269
    Abstract: A video game matchmaking and match authentication system is configured to interact with a third party game software and game server to supplement or replace that third party's matchmaking process. The system builds a player profile and unique player signature for each player based upon their performance within a game, and based upon the raw player inputs received from a game controller. The player signature indicates the player's skill within a particular game or game genre, and also provides a unique representation of the player's expected performance, skill, and raw inputs for future matches within that game or game genre. Matchmaking is player driven to provide a desired match experience, and player skill matching occurs based on the player signatures. Monitoring and authentication occurs during the match and is based on analysis of raw inputs and match events to identify irregularities that suggest intentional manipulation.

  • Patent number: 10958487
    Abstract: An apparatus includes an FFE circuit, including a clock generator creating multiple sub-rate phases of an input clock, and a multi-phase sampler responsive to a data signal and to the multiple sub-rate phases generated by the clock generator. The sampler is configured to sample the data signal and to generate held sample outputs corresponding to the multiple sub-rate phases. A SC equalization circuit in the FFE circuit has two states and is responsive to inputs from the multi-phase sampler output and the clock generator. The SC equalization circuit is configured to form outputs using the two states. A variable gain output stage in the FFE circuit is responsive to the outputs from the SC equalization circuit and is responsive to gain control signal(s) to provide variable gains to corresponding outputs of the SC equalization circuit to form equalized outputs based on the data signal.

  • Patent number: 10834140
    Abstract: A technology for job processing using a public service network. A method may include identifying processing availability at a public service network for processing a job submitted to a private service network. Available network bandwidth may be determined between the private service network and the public service network used to communicate between the private service network and the public service network and to transfer the job to the public service network for processing. Rules for transferring the job to the public service network may be identified. A determination may then be made that the processing availability at the public service network, the available network bandwidth between the private service network and the public service network, and the rules for transferring the job to the public service network allow the job to be transferred to the public service network for processing.

  • Patent number: 10826536
    Abstract: A single-ended inter-chip data transmission system and a single-ended inter-chip data reception system are provided for processing data. A controlled Hamming weight parallel data encoder at a transmitter device accepts N data bits with an arbitrary Hamming weight as input and generates M data bits with a controlled Hamming weight as output, wherein M is greater than N. A transmission circuit provides a time-aligned transmission of the controlled Hamming weight encoded data across a single-ended data bus.
