Establishing A Debug Channel Using Conductive Components Of An Electronic Device To Create Switchable Communication Paths, Averill Chang, Zoro Chang

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure describes a technique for establishing a debug channel over a wired connection by repurposing hardware components of an electronic device to create switchable communication paths for data transfer. In particular, internal debug signals can be selectively routed to non-dedicated external hardware contacts, for example, by using switching mechanisms. This approach may provide a stable and reliable debugging channel, potentially reducing the need for dedicated, corrosion-prone debug pins and mitigating certain performance and cost considerations associated with some wireless communication techniques.

A System For Recommending Advertising Campaign Settings Based On Performance Data Analysis, Ankit Aggarwal

Defensive Publications Series

Advertisers may experience difficulty in defining effective targeting and configuration settings for digital promotional campaigns, which can result in performance that does not meet certain goals for scale and return on investment (ROI). A system can utilize an artificial intelligence agent to analyze historical campaign data. The system may correlate past campaign configuration changes, such as adjustments to bids, budgets, and targeting criteria, with corresponding performance metrics including, for example, impressions, redemptions, and cost-per-action. Based on this correlation analysis, the system can formulate tailored recommendations for campaign settings to help meet specific advertiser goals. This process can contribute to improved …

Secure Camera Via Power Supply Control Based On A Root Of Trust, Kevin Klug, Jett Rink, Neil Hendin

Defensive Publications Series

Cameras in portable devices are currently enabled or disabled by mechanical or software-based shutters. However, mechanical shutters can be unreliable and they add bulk to the device. Software-based shutters can be vulnerable to security breaches. This disclosure describes an electronic shutter for a camera where the electrical communication and/or power supply to the image sensor is controlled by a root-of-trust (RoT) module. A host device requests the RoT to enable or disable the camera. To authenticate the request, the host sends a private key, which the RoT uses to verify the authenticity of the request. If the RoT successfully authenticates …

Browser-Integrated Bidding System For Third-Party Ai Agent Tools, Jason Mayes

Defensive Publications Series

Currently, artificial intelligence agents may need to use multiple proprietary tools from different third parties to complete a complex user-assigned task. This creates a fragmented process for payment and tool selection, as there is no centralized mechanism for discovering, comparing, and paying for these agentic tools. In an example implementation, a web browser is configured to facilitate a bidding process for third-party agent tools. For example, when a specific function is required by an agent, suitable tools are identified by the web browser from a central marketplace or via indexes on websites. These tool providers can then bid for the …

Reducing Shot Cuts In Diffusion-Generated Video, Mitchell Mcintire, David Yao, Orly Liba

Defensive Publications Series

This publication describes techniques for reducing shot cuts in videos generated by diffusion models, particularly in image-to-video applications. Shot cuts are abrupt transitions between distinct scenes of video. Shot cuts may be unexpected and may be irrelevant to provided input. To reduce shot cuts, a diffusion model may begin a diffusion process from a static video, where the frames of the static video may be noised instances of an input image. The diffusion model may also insert the input image as a first frame of the generated video, anchoring the output to the input. By ‘anchoring’ the output video and …

Smart Ac Plug Load Switcher “Smart Plug”, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

Present public power generation systems are designed to deliver a set voltage level to their end loads (for example, in computer systems). The current draw (and thus the load Wattage) is determined by the load that the end device is designed to. Common consumer power outlets are sized to 120 VAC with either 15 and 20 Amp (USA/NEMA example) service, for example. Safety is attained via a breaker/fuse in the distribution system. If the load device exceeds the delivery system’s capacity, the safety device is tripped. This all works well when the load device’s power is fixed. However, new systems …

P250307e_Uss0068_Twip Defpub Saws As Acf, Matched Filter, And Phase Detection, Christian A. Mohr, Mark Rode, Marco Dannemann

Defensive Publications Series

This invention presents a method and device for real-time analog signal processing using Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) technology. The system performs three core functions without digital conversion: (1) Autocorrelation Function (ACF) for time-frequency transformation, (2) Matched Filtering for pattern recognition, and (3) Phase Detection of modulated signals.

A SAW chip with interdigital transducers (IDTs) on a piezoelectric substrate decomposes input signals into parallel frequency channels ("frequency bins"). Envelope detection of each channel’s output generates an analog spectrogram. Weighting these outputs with predefined coded patterns (via analog operational circuits) enables instantaneous cross-correlation, acting as a matched filter. For phase-sensitive detection, in-phase/quadrature …
