  • Adjustable bed base with incline/decline feature
    Patent number: 12137809
    Abstract: An adjustable bed base has a subframe assembly including a subframe which may be inclined relative to a stationary frame by a primary linear actuator. An articulating deck is attached to the subframe. Secondary linear actuators articulate the deck. The subframe assembly is pivotally secured to a portion of the stationary frame. The subframe may be inclined by extending the primary linear actuator which moves ramps, causing wheels attached to the subframe to ride upwardly along the ramps, thereby raising the head end of the subframe relative to the stationary frame.

  • Multiple key management
    Patent number: 12141330
    Abstract: A system and method for encrypting and decrypting data exchanged between a multi-tile processing unit and a storage, where a plurality of keys are used for the encryption. Each of the plurality of keys is associated with a different one or more sets of the processors. Encryption hardware is configured to select a key to use for encryption/decryption operations in dependence upon the set of tiles associated with the data being exchanged. Each write request from a tile contains identifier bits associated with that tile's set of tiles, enabling the encryption hardware to select the key to use for encrypting the data in the write request. Each read completion for a tile contains identifier bits associated with that tile's set of tiles, enabling the encryption hardware to select the key to use for decrypting the data in the read completion.
