  • Patent number: 11733917
    Abstract: A PCIe architecture is disclosed incorporating a controller memory buffer (CMB). Write data is written to the CMB and is not read out for processing upon receiving a write command for the write data. The data is read out of the CMB and processed to obtain processed data upon receiving feedback from a NAND channel controller.

  • Patent number: 11698871
    Abstract: Read latency for a read operation to a host implementing a PRP/SGL buffer is reduced by generating an address table representing the linked-list structure defining the PRP/SGL buffer.

  • Patent number: 11580203
    Abstract: A system for authenticating a user attempting to access a computing device or a software application executing thereon. A data storage device stores one or more digital images or frames of video of face(s) of authorized user(s) of the device. The system subsequently receives from a first video camera one or more digital images or frames of video of a face of the user attempting to access the device and compares the image of the face of the user attempting to access the device with the stored image of the face of the authorized user of the device. To ensure the received video of the face of the user attempting to access the device is a real-time video of that user, and not a forgery, the system further receives a first photoplethysmogram (PPG) obtained from a first body part (e.g., a face) of the user attempting to access the device, receives a second PPG obtained from a second body part (e.g., a fingertip) of the user attempting to access the device, and compares the first PPG with the second PPG.
