  • Patent number: 12021577
    Abstract: A driver circuit for a serial communication bus employs multiple switch circuits to generate different voltage levels on a set of signal lines included in the serial communication bus. The different voltage levels correspond to different values for a set of bits to be transmitted via the serial communication bus. The driver circuit also employs a shunt circuit that couples at least two of the signals together in response to the set of bits matching a particular data pattern.

  • Publication number: 20240192761
    Abstract: A sampler circuit for use with a serial communication bus includes an amplifier circuit, an isolation circuit, and a latch circuit. During a first phase, the amplifier circuit amplifies a voltage difference between a first input signal and a second input signal received via the communication bus to generate a voltage difference on output nodes of the latch circuit. During an integration phase, the latch circuit increases the voltage difference on the output nodes. During a regeneration phase, the isolation circuit isolates the amplifier circuit from the latch circuit, which generates full-rail signals based on a voltage difference between the output nodes.

  • Patent number: 10104061
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for distinguishing humans from computers and for controlling access to network services. One intended application of the method is a CAPTCHA technique, deployed using a shared Trusted Computing technology over a trusted network of a user terminal, a network server, and a Trusted Party, any of which may be at a Decision Point. The method distinguishes a human user making a legitimate request for network access from a programmed computer making undesired requests, by detecting unusually high network access request frequencies made by an identifiable user and/or a trusted module from the user terminal. The CAPTCHA function is further used to improve the method for controlling access to network services. The information transmitted between the members of the trusted network may be encrypted.
