Filed:

Jul 13, 2010

Appl. No.:

12/835734

Inventors:

Andrew Jesse Mills - Austin TX, US
Shaun Sims - Austin TX, US

International Classification:

G06F 13/12
G06F 3/01
G09B 7/00

US Classification:

710 67, 715733, 434322

Abstract:

Disclosed is a method of either verifying or rejecting the authenticity of a work submitted through use of a computer. This method involves examining the behavioral and mood biometric characteristics of the person(s) using the computer on which the work was created, while the work was being created. In a specific embodiment, this can be used to detect outsourcing and plagiarism in an online education class.

Filed:

May 6, 1996

Appl. No.:

8/643344

Inventors:

Andrew Mills - Austin TX
Mark A. Ireton - Austin TX
Thomas W. Lynch - Austin TX

Assignee:

Advanced Micro Devices - Sunnyvale CA

International Classification:

G06F 944

US Classification:

39580035

Abstract:

A microprocessor including an instruction decode unit configured to detect a DSP call instruction is provided. The DSP call instruction is indicative of a call to a subroutine which performs a DSP function. Detected DSP call instructions are routed to a DSP which executes a routine performing the corresponding function. Subsequent to the DSP completing execution of the routine, the microprocessor continues execution at the instruction subsequent to the DSP call instruction. If a DSP is not included in the computer system, the DSP call instruction is executed in a manner similar to a subroutine call instruction. The microprocessor subsequently executes a corresponding routine which performs the DSP function.

International Classification:

H04Q 1100

US Classification:

370522

Abstract:

A communications device is presented which is configured to provide selective signal processing at a "plain old telephone service" (POTS) interface, an ISDN U interface, or an ISDN S/T interface. A first POTS connector allows the communications device to be connected to an analog POTS telephone line. A second ISDN U connector allows the communications device to be connected to an ISDN network at an ISDN U interface point. A third ISDN S/T connector allows the communications device to be connected to an ISDN network at an ISDN S/T interface point. A digital signal processing (DSP) core performs: (i) analog modem functions via analog modem emulation when a POTS telephone line is connected to the POTS connector, or (ii) ISDN digital voice and data processing functions along with ISDN S/T and U interface functions when an ISDN line is connected to the ISDN U connector, or (iii) ISDN digital voice and data processing functions along with ISDN S/T interface functions when an ISDN line is connected to the ISDN S/T connector. Interface logic couples signals between the DSP core and the connectors. A digital data path multiplexer coupled between the DSP core and the interface logic includes "autosense" logic which monitors signals received by the connector coupled to the telephone line and determines a data transfer mode based upon the received signals.

International Classification:

G01J 3/42

US Classification:

25033902, 25033908, 25033907

Abstract:

The present invention relates to a trace gas detection system. At least one embodiment includes a frequency spectrum comprising a 1st comb and an enhancement cavity characterized by having a 2comb of spectral resonances. The enhancement cavity contains a sample gas for spectroscopic measurement. A dither mechanism is configured to modulate the relative spectral position between the combs at a dither frequency, f. The dither mechanism, in conjunction with a feedback mechanism, stabilizes the location of said 1comb lines with respect to the resonances of said 2comb over a time scale much greater than a dither period, T=1/f. A time-averaged output from the enhancement cavity is provided to a spectroscopic measurement tool, for example a Fourier transform spectrometer. The system is capable of detecting volatile organic compounds, endogenous compounds, and may be configured for cancer detection.
