摘要:
A method and apparatus for classifying a spatial environment as open or enclosed are provided. In the method and apparatus, one or more microphones (102) detect ambient sound in a spatial environment and output an audio signal representative of the ambient sound. A processor (104) determines a spatial environment impulse response (SEIR) for the audio signal and extracts one or more features of the SEIR. The processor classifies the spatial environment as open or enclosed based on the one or more features of the SEIR.

Application data and error correction code (ECC) checkbits associated with that application data are stored in a first memory (24). The ECC checkbits, but not the application data, are stored in a second memory (26). In response to a request to read the application from the first memory (24), the ECC checkbits from the first memory are also read and used to detect, and possibly correct, errors in the read application data. The ECC checkbits are further output from both the first and second memories for bit-by-bit comparison (60). In response to a failure of the bit-by-bit comparison, a signal (SRAM_OK) indicating possible malfunction of one or the other or both of the first and second memories (24, 26) is generated.

Method for protecting data against power analysis attacks comprising at least a first phase of executing a cryptographic operation OP for ciphering the data in corresponding encipher data through a secret key ESK; the method comprises at least a second phase of executing an additional cryptographic operation AOP for ciphering additional data in corresponding encipher additional data, an execution of the first phase and the second phase being undistinguishable by the power analysis attacks. A plurality of secret parameters are randomly generated and processed by the at least one second phase. The secret parameters comprises at least an additional secret key ERK for ciphering the additional data in the corresponding encipher additional data.

The stream switch (500) has a plurality of input ports and a plurality of output ports. Each of the input ports is configurable at run time to unidirectionally pass data to any one or more of the output ports via a stream link. Each one of the plurality of convolution accelerators (600) is configurable at run time to unidirectionally receive input data via at least two of the plurality of stream switch output ports, and each one of the plurality of convolution accelerators (600) is further configurable at run time to unidirectionally communicate output data via an input port of the stream switch.

Embodiments are directed towards a hardware accelerator engine (600) that supports efficient mapping of convolutional stages of deep neural network algorithms. The hardware accelerator engine includes a plurality of convolution accelerators (600A), and each one of the plurality of convolution accelerators (600A) includes a kernel buffer (616), a feature line buffer (618), and a plurality of multiply-accumulate (MAC) units (620). The MAC units (620) are arranged to multiply and accumulate data received from both the kernel buffer (616) and the feature line buffer (618). The hardware accelerator engine also includes at least one input bus coupled to an output bus port of a stream switch, at least one output bus coupled to an input bus port of the stream switch, or at least one input bus and at least one output bus hard wired to respective output bus and input bus ports of the stream switch.
摘要:
An RFID transponder comprises a coding and modulation unit (CMU) designed to generate a transmission signal (S_t) by modulating an oscillator signal (S_o) with an encoded bit signal (S_e). During a first and a second time segment (T1, T2), the encoded bit signal (S_e) assumes a first and a second logic level, respectively. The transmission signal (S_t) comprises a first signal pulse (P1) featuring a first phase within the first time segment (T1) and a second signal pulse (P2) featuring a second phase being shifted with respect to the first phase by a predefined phase difference within the second time segment (T2). The transmission signal (S_t) is paused for a pause period (TP) between the first and the second signal pulse (P1, P2), the pause period (TP) being shorter than a mean value of a period of the first and a period of the second time segment (T1, T2).
