    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a comparator circuit that generates a control signal based on a comparison between a threshold voltage and a supply voltage. The integrated circuit also includes a clock signal generation circuit that generates a clock signal and that receives the control signal. The clock signal generation circuit decreases a frequency of the clock signal to a reduced frequency in response to the control signal indicating that the supply voltage has decreased below the threshold voltage. The integrated circuit also includes a secure device manager circuit that has a timing circuit. The clock signal is provided to a clock input of the timing circuit. The timing circuit receives supply current from the supply voltage. The secure device manager circuit performs a security function for the integrated circuit using the timing circuit in response to the clock signal with the reduced frequency.

    Abstract: Edge devices utilizing personalized machine learning and methods of operating the same are disclosed. An example edge device includes a model accessor to access a first machine learning model from a cloud service provider. A local data interface is to collect local user data. A model trainer is to train the first machine learning model to create a second machine learning model using the local user data. A local permissions data store is to store permissions indicating constraints on the local user data with respect to sharing outside of the edge device. A permissions enforcer is to apply permissions to the local user data to create a sub-set of the local user data to be shared outside of the edge device. A transmitter is to provide the sub-set of the local user data to a public data repository.

    Abstract: Embodiments include apparatuses, methods, and systems to provide an automated loading device to a computer assisted or autonomous driving (CA/AD) vehicle. A loading service control device is to initiate a loading service to load one or more items into a storage space of a CA/AD vehicle, using an automated loading device. A CA/AD vehicle is to move to a loading area at an appointed time. A mechanical loading unit of an automated loading device is to place one or more items into a storage space of a CA/AD vehicle. A user device is to receive an input from a user, where the input includes information to generate a request to a loading service control device to load one or more items into a storage space of a CA/AD vehicle using an automated loading device. Other embodiments may also be described and claimed.

    Abstract: A method for operating an SRAM of an FPGA in a high or low-power mode includes a CRAM of the FPGA storing control bits for controlling whether pages of the SRAM operate in the high or low-power mode. A control circuit of the FPGA uses the control bits, a system clock signal, and address for the pages to determine whether to operate the pages in the high or low-power mode and to control the timing for precharging and tristating read bitlines of the pages for the high and low-power modes. In the high-power mode the read bitlines are precharged longer than in the low-power mode, and in the high-power mode the read bitlines are tristated less than in the low-power mode. Precharging the read bitlines for a lesser time in the low-power mode reduces DC leakage current in the lower power mode compared to the high-power mode.
