Abstract: A client-server security architecture is disclosed that uses a masked grid, a seed, and mutual unlocking techniques to authentication a client device with a server machine using a one-time code (OTC). The client device in the client-server architecture stores a masked grid that is used to unlock an authentication code using a seed. Once mutually unlocked, the client device may generate an OTC to attempt to authenticate the client device with a server machine. The server machine validates that OTC with the OTC stored at the server to confirm they match. Each subsequent access may repeat the aforementioned steps. Moreover, in a multi-device ecosystem, a plurality of client devices may leverage a primary client device to connect with the server machine. For example, one or more subordinate client devices may connect to the primary client device to then tunnel through to the server machine in a secure manner.

A new color map is also produced over the new heart cycle for use with the following heart cycle. An ultrasound system which performs real time strain imaging is also described.

Abstract: In-memory computing architectures and methods of performing multiply-and-accumulate operations are provided. The method includes sequentially shifting bits of first input bytes into each row in an array of memory cells arranged in rows and columns. Each memory cell is activated based on the bit to produce a bit-line current from each activated memory cell in a column on a shared bit-line proportional to a product of the bit and a weight stored therein. Charges produced by a sum of the bit-line currents in a column are accumulated in first charge-storage banks coupled to a shared bit-line in each of the columns. Concurrently, charges from second input bytes accumulated in second charge-storage banks previously coupled to the columns are sequentially converted into output bytes. The charge-storage banks are exchanged after the first input bytes have been accumulated and the charges from the second input bytes converted. The method then repeats.
