摘要： An assembly includes an optical device including an optical component and a plurality of supporting electrical components, a housing that is configured to house the optical component, a cap that is configured to substantially enclose the optical component in the housing, and a mounting member that is configured to removably electrically and mechanically connect the optical component to a printed board. In some examples, the housing does not house any electrical components of the optical device. The housing is physically separate from the mounting member and is configured to removably mechanically connect to the mounting member. The housing and mounting member define an electrically conductive pathway from the optical component to the printed board. When the cap is mechanically disconnected from the housing, the optical component may be exposed. The cap may also be configured to mechanically and optically connect an optical fiber assembly to the optical component.

摘要： Contents of a memory are encrypted using an encryption key that is generated based on a random number and a memory location at which the contents are stored. Each of a plurality of locations of a memory can be associated with a respective unique pointer value, and an encryption key may be generated based on the unique pointer value and the random number. In some examples, the random number is unique to a power-up cycle of a system comprising the memory or is generated based on a time at which the data to be stored by the memory at the selected memory location is written to the memory.

摘要： A passive optical anti-tamper system including one or more light pipes, one or more light detectors and an alarm. The light pipes each include an input end and an output end and are located within a chassis with the one or more light detectors. The one or more light detectors are optically coupled to the output ends of the one or more light pipes. The alarm is operable to transmit a tamper-event-warning signal if an increased light level is detected by at least one detector.

摘要： In some examples, an integrated circuit system includes a plurality of integrated circuit layers. At least one of the integrated circuit layers includes an integrated circuit die, which may not include any through-silicon vias that provide a pathway to an adjacent integrated circuit layer, and an interposer portion, which includes electrically conductive through-vias. The interposer portion may facilitate communication of the integrated circuit die with other integrated circuit layers of the integrated circuit system. In some examples, the stacked integrated circuit system may include more than one integrated circuit die, which may be in the same integrated circuit layer as at least one other integrated circuit die, or may be in a different integrated circuit layer.
