  • Publication number: 20170293709
    Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments for modeling integrated circuit (IC) performance. In these embodiments, a parasitic extraction process is performed to generate a netlist that, not only accounts for various parasitics within the IC, but also accounts for substrate-generated signal distortions (e.g., substrate-generated harmonic signal distortions) that occur within the IC. During this netlist extraction process, the design layout of the IC is analyzed to identify parasitics that are to be represented in the netlist and to also identify any circuit elements with output signals that are subject to substrate-generated signal distortions. When such circuit elements are identified, signal distortion models, which were previously empirically determined and stored in a model library, which correspond to the identified circuit elements, and which account for the signal distortions, are selected from the model library and incorporated into the netlist.

    Abstract: A physiotherapist consultant performs a core set of exercises in the Human Performance Lab while around 70 reflective markers are attached to his body joints. A set of eight Motion Analysis cameras concurrently capture a regular sampling of his joint parameters over time. After recording the raw data for each exercise, the system extracts the skeletal structure of the character from it. These skeletal animations are later applied to a 3D human model to represent different visualizations. Therefore, some post processing needs to be done on the skeletal avatar to visualize a skinned human, its muscle structure and its nerve system. In addition, the geometric notion of the data allows adding graphical overlays to the visualization such as showing the angles between joints or highlighting the affected muscles.

  • Publication number: 20170293747
    Abstract: A method and system for accessing stored data includes receiving a request to access data stored in a data storage unit. The request requires one or more data operations to be performed by a system having access to the stored data. Responsive to the data request, one or more locks are derived and assigned to one or more of the data operations. Each of the locks control invocation of the data operations to which the respective lock is assigned. The deriving is based in part on (i) user context data obtained from a user issuing the request and (ii) data context comprising one or more attributes of the request. Each of the one or more locks is unlocked and the one or more data operations are invoked after the one or more locks are unlocked.

    Abstract: In a system including a terminal device where a plurality of apps are installed and can be executed and a management device capable of communicating with the terminal device; even if the terminal device does not have an advanced security function such as a secure boot, the validity of apps is determined in conjunction with the reliable management device. The management device stores specific values uniquely calculated respectively from a plurality of apps installed on the terminal device, as a plurality of installation-time specific values. The system causes the terminal device to calculate a specific value uniquely calculated from one app, as an execution-time specific value, and determines that the app is authentic if the calculated execution-time specific value matches one of the installation-time specific values stored in the management device.

  • Publication number: 20170293754
    Abstract: A system and method for tracking sensitive data uses dynamic taint analysis to track sensitive data as the data flows through a target application running on a computer system. In general, the system and method for tracking sensitive data marks data as tainted when the data input to the target application is indicated as sensitive. The system and method may then track the propagation of the tainted data as the data is read from and written to memory by the target application to detect if the tainted data is output from the application (e.g., leaked). Dynamic binary translation may be used to provide binary instrumentation of the target application for dynamic taint analysis to track propagation of the tainted data at the instruction level and/or the function level. Of course, many alternatives, variations, and modifications are possible without departing from this embodiment.

  • Publication number: 20170293757
    Abstract: To enhance the security of an industrial control system, a data stream can be received from an input device via a communications network or an I/O subsystem of a computer system. All or part of the data stream can be stored in computer memory. Stored elements of the data stream can be retrieved from the memory. A set of program instructions can be executed to ascertain descriptive characteristics of the stored elements. Using a comparison with a stored normative descriptive characteristic in a database or application of an algorithm, heuristic or rule, it can be determined whether any of the descriptive characteristics are anomalous. When the existence of an anomalous descriptive characteristic has been determined, an alarm can be created, data or an alarm can be communicated to a control system or an operator, and/or the data or alarm can be recorded in a database.
