Abstract:
Techniques for creating a multi-modal one-dimensional (1D) barcode are provided. The techniques include obtaining N one-dimensional (1D) barcode images, wherein N 1D barcode images comprise two or more 1D barcode images, placing the N 1D barcode images with a horizontal displacement of 1/N barcode units, and combining the N 1D barcode images with the displacement to create a multi-modal 1D barcode. Techniques for decoding a multi-modal barcode are also provided herein.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention provide a method, system, and computer program product for managing a computer memory system including a channel controller and a memory area. In one embodiment, the method comprises the channel controller receiving a request including a header and a payload, and separating said memory area into a working memory area and an auxiliary memory area. A copy of the header is deposited in the working memory area; and a full copy of the request, including a copy of the header and a copy of the payload, is deposited in the auxiliary memory area. The copy of the request in the auxiliary memory area is used to perform hardware operations; and the copy of the header in the working memory area is used to perform software operations.
Abstract:
The partitioning of large arrays in the hardware structure, for multiplication and addition, into smaller structures results in a multiplier design which includes a series of nearly identical processing elements linked together in a chained fashion. As a result of simultaneous operation in two subphases per processing element and the chaining together of processing elements, the overall structure is operable in a pipelined fashion to improve throughput and speed. The chained processing elements are constructed so as to provide a pardonable chain with separate parts for processing factors of the modulus.
Abstract:
A system and method of performing electronic transactions between a server computer and a client computer. The method implements a communication protocol with encrypted data transmission and mutual authentication between a server and a hardware device via a network, performs a decryption of encrypted server responses, forwards the decrypted server responses from the hardware device to the client computer, displays the decrypted server responses on a client display, receives requests to be sent from the client computer to the server, parses the client requests for predefined transaction information by the hardware device, encrypts and forwards client requests, displays the predefined transaction information upon detection, forwards and encrypts the client request containing the predefined transaction information to the server if a user confirmation is received, and cancels the transaction if no user confirmation is received.
Abstract:
A method for embedding tamper proof layers and discrete components into a printed circuit board stack-up is disclosed. According to this method, a plating mask is applied on a base substrate to cover partially one of its faces. Conductive ink is then spread on this face so as to fill the gap formed by the plating mask. To obtain a uniform distribution of the conductive ink and then gel it, the conductive ink is preferably heated. A dielectric layer is applied on the conductive ink layer and the polymerization process is ended to obtain a strong adhesion between these two layers. In a preferred embodiment, conductive tracks are simultaneously designed on the other face of the base substrate to reduce thermo-mechanical strains and deformations.

Abstract:
In a communications channel coupled to multiple duplicated subsystems, a method, interposer and program product are provided for verifying integrity of subsystem responses. Within the communications channel, a first checksum is calculated with receipt of a first response from a first subsystem responsive to a common request, and a second checksum is calculated for a second response of a second subsystem received responsive to the common request. The first checksum and the second checksum are compared, and if matching, only one of the first response and the second response is forwarded from the communications channel as the response to the common request, with the other of the first response and the second response being discarded by the communications channel.

Abstract:
A bytecode construction, a method, and a system for optimizing just in time compilation. The bytecode includes several regions wherein a region is a logical sequence of one or more bytecode blocks and the bytecode is annotated with region hints embedded therein. The region hints have a bytecode structure and are designed for instructing a just-in-time, or JIT, runtime environment for JIT compilation of the regions by JIT compilers implemented at nodes of a network. A method and a system for implementing the bytecode construction are also presented.
Abstract:
A method for updating code images in a system includes booting a first image of a code with a sub-system processor, receiving a second image of the code, performing a security and reliability check of the second image of the code with the sub-system processor, determining whether the security and reliability check of the second image of the code is successful, storing the second image of the code in a first memory device responsive to determining that the security and reliability check of the second image of the code is successful, designating the second image of the code as an active image, and sending the second image of the code to a second memory device, the second memory device communicatively connected with the first memory device and a main processor.
