  • Patent number: 8914896
    Abstract: A system for secure data processing can include an electronic data storage device and a field programmable gate array coupled to the electronic data storage device. The field programmable gate array can be configured to include a data storage section for performing a data storage operation and a data retrieval section for performing a data retrieval operation. The data storage operation can include obtaining a seed value and retrieving one or more algebraic operations based on the seed value. The storage operation can also include processing input data according to the one or more algebraic operations to generate pseudorandom output data, prepending the seed value to the output data and storing the output data in the electronic data storage device.

  • Patent number: 8279105
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to configuring a receiver. In some embodiments, when a receiver is executing a dwell, configuration settings for one or more next possible dwells to be executed by the receiver may be sent to the receiver. In this way, when the receiver completes execution of the current dwell, the receiver need not wait to receive configuration settings for the next dwell to be executed as they may be already loaded into the receiver.

  • Patent number: 7760135
    Abstract: Systems and methods are presented for associating time slices of a received signal with previously encountered time slices. A parameter determination component determines at least one parameter for each received time slice. A content addressable memory stores a plurality of parameter values associated with the previously encountered time slices. The content addressable memory is searchable such that the determined at least one parameter for each received time slice can be compared to the stored plurality of parameter values to provide a memory output. An emitter matching component associates a given received time slice with one of a plurality of emitters according to the memory output.
