Decoupled Agent Architecture For Function-Based Remote Device Automation, Qingfei Tian

Defensive Publications Series

Orchestrating specific, function-level actions across heterogeneous fleets of electronic devices, such as smartphones, wearable devices, or smart home appliances, can present challenges, as methods like user interface scripting may be less reliable and placing complex logic on resource-constrained devices can be impractical. A system using a decoupled agent architecture may address these challenges. A remote agent, operating in a resource-rich environment such as a cloud server, can interpret high-level goals and translate them into a sequence of structured, function-based commands. A lightweight on-device agent may receive these commands via a communication relay and execute them programmatically using local device application …

Low Bandwidth Full-Duplex Multimodal Llm Interaction With Contextual Interruption, Longlong Zhu, Weiyue Huang

Defensive Publications Series

Multimodal LLMs implemented on a server can support remote user interaction over a network but require continuous real-time streaming of raw, uncompressed video and/or audio. This can be infeasible due to bandwidth constraints or other reasons, and can prevent real-time feedback in time-sensitive interactive settings. This disclosure describes an asymmetric edge and cloud collaborative architecture that can enable full-duplex and seamlessly interruptible multimodal LLM orchestration at low latency. The architecture decouples sensor processing tasks from cognitive reasoning tasks involved in interaction between a user and a multimodal LLM via modalities such as audio, video, or image. Computationally heavy processing of …

Efficient In-Context Retrieval For Search Ads Via Pre-Computed Corpus Key-Value Caching, Ladan Rabiee, Felix Yu, Ruiqi Guo, Chris Collins, Tianyin Zhou

Defensive Publications Series

A system performs large-scale information retrieval using a large language model (LLM) by pre-computing a key-value (KV) cache for a document corpus. The retrieval prompt is structured into static and dynamic parts, where the static portion includes system instructions and the entire document corpus. In an offline process, the LLM processes this static portion to generate and store a corresponding KV cache. During online inference, the system loads the pre-computed KV cache and appends the dynamic user query, which enables the LLM to perform its attention-routing task without reprocessing the entire corpus. A layerwise prefilling technique manages the memory footprint …

Method For Improving The Stability And Accuracy Of Network Correlation Engine Optimization, Wojciech Dec, Ori Menashe

Defensive Publications Series

A statistical safety gate is described herein for automatically deploying machine-tuned configurations to a production network controller, including a traffic-pattern-correlation-based link-detection engine. The gate compares a candidate engine configuration with a current production configuration using paired statistical hypothesis testing. It automatically selects McNemar's test for normal sample sizes, an exact binomial test for small discordant-pair counts, or an explicit bypass when a sample is too small. A short-circuit prevents unnecessary configuration changes when the current configuration already satisfies an operator-defined accuracy threshold. A tuned configuration is deployed only when statistical significance and positive directional improvement are both present. Candidate configurations …

Dynamic Print Trigger Compensation For A Moving Robotic Printer, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure describes a dynamic print-trigger control method for a printhead carried by a moving robotic platform. A liquid drop requires a finite time to travel from the printhead to the target surface. During this flight time, the robotic platform continues moving and may accelerate or decelerate, causing the drop to reach a position different from the intended printing position. The control method predicts the drop flight time using the printhead-to-surface distance and characteristics that affect drop ejection velocity, and predicts the movement of the robotic platform during the flight interval. The print trigger is then advanced or delayed so …

Representation Of Processor Traces For Machine Learning Models, Sai Akhil Suggu, Anurag Adarsh, Somya Gupta, Zimuzo Ezeozue, Dwipal Desai

Defensive Publications Series

System performance trace data may be represented as a vector to allow the trace data to be efficiently processed by a machine learning model. First, the trace data is preprocessed to generate a hierarchical topology tree that maps software events to specific threads, processes, and processors. Next, an event-driven mechanism generates tokens when a system state change occurs, collapsing idle periods into a single duration attribute to achieve lossless compression and reduce overall sequence length. Each token is then converted into a concatenated input vector that aligns discrete software events and continuous hardware metrics onto a single temporal axis. Finally, …

Distributed Vertical Power Module Building Blocks For Interleaved Power Delivery To Three-Dimensional Stacked Chiplets, N/A

Defensive Publications Series

A vertical power (VPWR) module architecture delivers electrical power to three-dimensional stacked semiconductor chiplets (such as TPU, GPU, xPU) packages using distributed sub-phase building blocks. The architecture divides the phases of a multi-phase power stage, and the voltage outputs those phases feed, into two or more independent power rails, so that a four-phase stage yields two, three, or four independent voltage outputs. These sub-phase units physically map onto interleaved power rails across a ball grid array (BGA) footprint of the semiconductor packages. Positioning the sub-phase units directly beneath corresponding power rail contact locations shortens current travel paths through printed circuit …

Structural Action-Gating For Autonomous Ai Agent Handoffs: Admitting A Receiving Agent's Actions Only Upon A Conformance Verdict Against A Mutually Committed Plan Artifact, Jan Haasch, Sebastian Jeuk, Katrin Simon

Defensive Publications Series

A handoff-conformance attestation service is proposed herein that operates between two autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) agents and, before a receiving agent acts, determines whether a handoff conforms to their shared plan by being complete, consistent, and in-scope. The determination is independent of the originating agent's trust standing and is cryptographically bound to the receiving agent's action authority, so a nonconformant handoff cannot unlock autonomous action.

System And Method For Temporally-Correct Point-In-Time Embedding Reconstruction From Append-Only Accumulator Delta Logs, Durga S. Kala, Xinrong Huang, Nishanth Telukunta, Sreekanth Kanichetty

Defensive Publications Series

A system (200) for point-in-time reconstruction of time-decayed behavioral embedding accumulator states for payment entities includes an append-only accumulator delta log (202) that records, for each accumulator update event, an entity identifier, an exact authorization timestamp, a D-dimensional embedding delta, a pre-computed exponential decay factor, and the resulting accumulator weight. A checkpoint store (204) periodically snapshots the accumulator state including a decayed sum, a total weight, and a timestamp for each entity. A reconstruction engine (206) reads the latest checkpoint prior to a query timestamp, replays all delta log entries for the entity with timestamp strictly less than the query …

Decoupled Pricing And Fulfillment Arbitrator For Multi-Destination Agentic Commerce Systems, Richa Gupta

Defensive Publications Series

A decoupled pricing and fulfillment arbitrator extends the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) to maintain volume-based discounts for e-commerce orders shipped to multiple destinations. The system operates through a two-phase cryptographic handshake, where the arbitrator first validates the total item quantity in a cart to secure a global price lock from a merchant’s application programming interface (API). The arbitrator then atomizes the single order into multiple, concurrent fulfillment requests, one for each distinct shipping address. By embedding a cryptographic bulk token into each parallel request, the arbitrator instructs the merchant’s system to bypass standard single-destination validation rules and apply the pre-approved …

Selective Bookmarking And Curated Export Of Conversational Ai Message Turns To External Documents And Notebooks, Richa Gupta

Defensive Publications Series

In multi-turn conversations with conversational artificial intelligence, details established in earlier turns are prioritized less than more recent turns as a session grows longer, and locating or reusing valuable content from within a long conversation typically requires scanning the full transcript or manually copying individual passages. This disclosure describes a message-anchoring and bookmarking approach in which each conversational turn is assigned a persistent identifier. A cited identifier is used to isolate and prioritize the corresponding turn, while unrelated conversational content is masked from further processing. Selected turns are additionally flagged through a bookmarking control, and the flagged turns are compiled, …

Dynamic Ir-Drop Prediction For Analog-Mixed-Signal Blocks Using A Two-Stage Graph Network Architecture, Prateek Pendyala

Defensive Publications Series

Dynamic IR-drop verification, the analysis of transient supply voltage sag caused by currents in resistive supply metal, can become a simulation bottleneck for analog-mixed-signal (AMS) blocks.  Layout-dependent current profiles may demand long transient simulation runs, and a custom analog power delivery network (PDN) lacks the structured grid routing found in digital designs.  A prediction method addresses these limitations in two stages.  A first stage applies graph attention layers to a circuit graph once per circuit and caches the resulting static embedding.  From the cached static embedding, a recurrent waveform predictor forecasts transient supply currents without graph operations in a time-stepping …

Remote Control Using Render Buffer Accessibility Extraction, Inductively Powered Electrophoretic Keycaps, And An Ultra-Wideband Pointing Latch, Stenal P. Jolly

Defensive Publications Series

Streaming applications on a smart television often render an interface into a single hardware-accelerated graphics surface.  A native accessibility engine may treat that surface as one opaque node, and printed remote keycaps do not follow the content on screen.  A remote control system addresses these limitations by extracting geometry and text directly from a graphics processing unit (GPU) render buffer of a host computing device.  The system rebuilds a virtual accessibility tree once per render frame.  Compact per-key updates travel over a low-energy wireless link to electrophoretic keycap displays, and inductive power regulation holds each keycap display at a steady …

Routability-Aware Decoupling Capacitor Insertion Using Trial-Route Lookups And Linear Programming, Prateek Pendyala

Defensive Publications Series

Dynamic IR drop, a transient loss of supply voltage proportional to current (I) and resistance (R), can erode timing margins on advanced process nodes.  Decoupling capacitors (decaps) inserted near cells with high switching activity can suppress the drop.  The regions that need decaps, however, tend toward heavy routing congestion, so a newly placed decap can trigger detailed routing design rule violations (DRVs).  An example routability-aware method selects decap locations and bounded cell moves through a linear program built from measured routing data.  The method models cell currents as rectangular envelopes over binned time, computes a missing charge from a charge …
