摘要:
An array of memory bit cells are operable to provide a memory device having data shifting capability, so that data can be flexibly stored and retrieved from the memory device in both parallel and serial fashions. The memory array can thus be used for conventional memory storage operations, and also for operations, such as matrix operations, that provide for the alteration of the arrangement of stored data elements.

An electronic device, for example, a laptop computer includes a processor, a transceiver module, for example, a Bluetooth module and a memory. The memory includes a platform proximity agent, which may be implemented as a series of instructions, which when executed by the processor, causes the processor to receive a Bluetooth signal from a corresponding provisioned Bluetooth device, for example, a cellular telephone. Next, determine whether the received signal exceeds both a strength threshold level and a predetermined time threshold level, where the signal strength and time threshold levels are established when the laptop and a corresponding cell phone are paired during a provisioning process. When the received signal strength and duration both exceed the corresponding policy based thresholds, the laptop enters (or remains in) a full power state with full access to the monitor and the platform. On the other hand, when the received signal strength and duration both fall below (or are less than) the corresponding policy based threshold, the laptop enters (or remains in) a reduced power, or locked state.

Techniques for performing an action, based on the present location of a client, to protect resources of the client from theft or unauthorized access. A server may intermittently receive, from a client, location information such as GPS information, triangulation information based on one or more Wi-Fi access points, and IP trace information. The server may determine the client's location by (a) determining, for an interval of time, whether GPS information, triangulation information, and IP trace information are available for the client, and (b) based on the available GPS information, triangulation information, and IP trace information, determining the present location of the client, e.g., by determining a weighted arithmetic mean or by using a sequence of types of location information ordered based on accuracy. In response to following a security policy, the server may perform an action, specified by the security policy, based on the present location of the client.

Techniques for securing a client. A BIOS agent stores policy data within a BIOS of the client. The BIOS agent is one or more software modules that execute in the BIOS of the client. The policy data describes one or more policies which the client should follow. When an operating system agent detects that a condition, specified by a particular policy of the one or more policies, has been met, the operating system agent performs one or more actions specified by the particular policy, such as disabling the client, retrieving a file from the client, erasing a file from the client, or encrypting a file on the client. The operating system agent is one or more software modules that execute in the operating system of the client.

Techniques for securing a client. An operating system agent is one or more software modules that execute in an operating system of a client, such as a portable computer. Portions of the operating system agent may monitor resources of the client. The operating system agent sends a message, which describes an operational state of the operating system agent, to a BIOS agent. The BIOS agent is one or more software modules operating in a BIOS of the client. The BIOS agent performs an action based on a policy that is described by policy data stored within the BIOS of the client. The BIOS agent performs the action in response to either (a) the operational state described by the message, or (b) the BIOS agent not receiving the message after an expected period of time.

The invention relates to an aqueous-based fluoropolymer coating that is especially useful for use over flat or low-slope flexible surfaces, and more specifically for flat or low-slope roofing. The coating can be factory or field applied. The coating offers the advantages of improved durability, lower dirt pick-up, stain resistance, water repellency, increased solar reflectivity duration, and mildew resistance.

Systems and methods are provided that relate to a platform, techniques, and processes for verifying the precision, sensitivity, accuracy, reproducibility, and other characteristics of biological tests, such as DNA identification or other tests or assays. According to various embodiments, a logic engine can guide a user to, arrange, conduct, and record studies designed to ensure that chemistry kits and laboratory operations return dependably valid results. The validation platform can manage the design of the entire validation workflow, from initiation of a verification project for one or more chemistry kits or other assays or equipment, to design of individual studies to test the accuracy, sensitivity, reproducibility, and other parameters of biological testing. The validation engine can automatically generate a sample plate layout to conduct individual assays. The validation engine can likewise automatically generate unified data output recording the studies which were undertaken, the assays used, tests results, and other data.
摘要:
A DC voltage offset correction circuit that provides for correction of a DC offset voltage of an output of a filter stage of a complex filter circuit includes a DC offset sensing device that is connected to an output of a filter stage of a complex filter to generate an offset presence signal indicating presence of the DC offset voltage at the output of the filter stage. The digital-to-analog converter applies a compensation signal to the output conditional on the offset presence signal. A programming register receives the offset presence signal to perform a binary search to generate a digital signal to force the digital-to-analog converter to apply the compensation voltage to the output of the filter stage. A filter controller sets the compensation voltage level in the programming register to match a programmed gain value of the filter stage.
