Assignee:

Empire Technology Development LLC - Wilmington DE

International Classification:

H04M 3/00

US Classification:

455419, 455425

Abstract:

Embodiments include but are not limited to cellular phones, methods practice thereon, for autonomously servicing a call or a message, on behalf of the user, without interacting with the user, are disclosed herein. In various embodiments, data about a user of the cellular phone, internal conditions of the cellular phone, or external environment of the cellular phone are locally collected and from a wireless communication network. In various embodiments, multiple agents are provided to the cellular phone, wherein each agent is configured to determine, on receipt of a received call or message, a current service context based at least in part on some of the data stored, and autonomously servicing the received call or message based on the results of the determination. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Appl. No.:

12/732012

Inventors:

Nathan Zachary BECKMANN - Cambridge MA, US
Miodrag POTKONJAK - Los Angeles CA, US

Assignee:

EMPIRE TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT LLC - Wilmington DE

International Classification:

G06F 21/22
G06F 9/455

US Classification:

713189, 703 14

Abstract:

Differential uncloneable variability-based cryptography techniques are provided. The differential cryptography includes a hardware based public physically uncloneable function (PPUF) to perform the cryptography. The PPUF includes a first physically uncloneable function (PUF) and a second physically uncloneable function. An arbiter determines the output of the circuit using the outputs of the first and second PUFs. Cryptography can be performed by simulating the PPUF with selected input. The output of the simulation, along with timing information about a set of inputs from where the corresponding input is randomly selected for simulation, is used by the communicating party that has the integrated circuit with the PPUF to search for an input that produces the output. The input can be configured to be the secret key or a part of the secret key.

Assignee:

Empire Technology Development LLC - Wilmington DE

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707693, 707E17002

Abstract:

Technology for semantic compression is disclosed. In various embodiments, the technology receives data that represents one or more physical attributes sensed by one or more sensors; employs at least one pattern or statistical feature to identify a first region and a second region in the received data; computes a first utility and a first relevant feature for the first region, and a second utility and a second relevant feature for the second region; and identifies based on at least the first utility and the second utility a first compression method to apply to the first region and a second compression method to apply to the second region wherein the first and the second compression methods have different compression rates, different feature preservation characteristics, or both.

Inventors:

- Pittsburgh PA, US
Nathan Beckmann - Pittsburgh PA, US
Graham Gobieski - Pittsburgh PA, US

International Classification:

G06F 9/38
G06F 9/448

Abstract:

Disclosed herein is a framework to generate ULP, energy-minimal coarse-grain reconfigurable arrays that execute in a spatial vector-dataflow fashion, mapping a dataflow graph spatially across a fabric of processing elements, applying the same DFG to many input data values, and routing intermediate values directly from producers to consumers. The spatial vector-dataflow minimizes instruction and data-movement energy and also eliminates unnecessary a switching activity because operations do not share execution hardware.
