Physical Design With Diagonal Cut Floorplan To Resolve Routing Congestion Hotspots, Sachin Ramrao Waghmare

Defensive Publications Series

In VLSI physical design, a Hard Macro (HM) instantiation with a vertical and horizontal cut can often intrude into the logic placement area. Typically, all routing layers are blocked in HMs. As a result, any nets passing through the area face a routing resource crunch that can cause routing congestion and design rule check (DRC) failures. This disclosure describes techniques for creating an HM instantiation during the PD phase of a digital design with a diagonal cut. The HM instantiation is cut using small notches formed by short vertical and horizontal cuts, which cumulatively provide a cut that is effectively …

Comprehensive Framework For Artificial Intelligence Model Testing: Integrated Validation Methodologies, Global Regulatory Compliance, And Enterprise Implementation Strategies For 25 Years, Ramkumar Bharathan

Defensive Publications Series

The proliferation of artificial intelligence systems across critical infrastructure necessitates a paradigm shift from traditional software quality assurance toward probabilistic validation methodologies. This paper presents a comprehensive framework for AI model testing that synthesizes regulatory requirements across multiple jurisdictions—including the EU AI Act (Regulation 2024/1689), NIST AI Risk Management Framework 2.0, Federal Reserve SR 11-7, Colorado AI Act, NYC Local Law 144, and sector-specific regulations—into an integrated validation architecture applicable across financial services, healthcare, insurance, manufacturing, and retail sectors.

The framework encompasses twelve distinct testing dimensions: functional correctness, performance benchmarking, bias and fairness assessment, robustness and adversarial resilience, explainability validation, …

Prismatic Subspace Projection For Semantic Control Of Vector Embeddings, Thomas Joseph Duerig, Yichang Chen, Jiří Iša

Defensive Publications Series

Vector search effectiveness may be reduced by semantic mismatches where nuisance dimensions, such as formality or complexity, can degrade retrieval relevance. Addressing these dimensions could involve resource-intensive model retraining. Systems and methods are described for dynamically modifying vector embeddings using prisms, which can be vector representations of certain semantic concepts. For example, a prism can be calculated from the vector difference between embeddings of two data items that differ primarily along a given semantic axis. To refine a search, a query or document embedding can be modified through a geometric projection into a subspace orthogonal to a prism vector. This …

Continuous Data Streaming Via A Jtag Interface, Harsharaj Ellur

Defensive Publications Series

Traditional JTAG data transfers often face limitations due to the “stop-and-wait” nature of the IEEE 1149.1 protocol. High overhead is introduced because the Test Access Port (TAP) state machine must be transitioned between SHIFT-DR and UPDATE-DR states for every individual data word. This disclosure describes a JTAG-to-AXI bridge microarchitecture that implements a streaming-write mechanism. A Command FIFO is utilized to decouple JTAG programming from AXI bus execution. An internal bit-shift counter and control logic are employed to automatically push data into a Write FIFO after a fixed number of bits are shifted. This allows a JTAG host to remain in …

Visual Movement Indicator For Head-Worn Displays, Chia Wei Kao

Defensive Publications Series

Collisions between users of head-worn displays and individuals in the immediate environment often occur because the physical movement of the user is unpredictable to bystanders. This disclosure describes a head-worn display equipped with external visual indicators and an integrated orientation sensor, such as a gyroscope. The sensor detects changes in head position or user leaning, and specific patterns of light are emitted from the visual indicators based on the detected direction. For example, forward, backward, or lateral movements trigger corresponding indicators on the front, rear, and/or sides of the device chassis. By providing real-time visual signals of a user's intended …

Quantitative Importance Attribution For Source Documents In Generative Models, N/A

Defensive Publications Series

Generative models that utilize external information sources may not include mechanisms to quantitatively measure the contribution of each source document to a generated output. Disclosed are systems and methods for quantitatively attributing source importance. A technique can involve calculating numerical importance scores for constituent parts of a model's output, for instance, by analyzing internal model attention scores or semantic similarity to a user prompt. A remapping process then can trace these scored parts back to their original source documents to assign an overall importance score to each source. This quantitative attribution data can provide a basis for feedback mechanisms for …

Just-In-Time Adaptive Interventions For Wellness Management Via Context-Aware Wearable Devices, Cecilia Abadie, Aveek Purohit, Pinal Bavishi, Theo Guidroz, Ayush Jain, Ines Mezerreg

Defensive Publications Series

ABSTRACT

Manual logging for health and wellness often results in low user engagement due to the high effort and friction involved for data entry. Additionally, ongoing activity observation using high-fidelity sensors on wearable devices is constrained by finite battery life and computational resources. To address these challenges, a unified architecture is described that facilitates just-in-time adaptive interventions.

A cascaded sensing layer is utilized to reduce power consumption. A low-power sensor screens for motion signatures indicative of potential events, such as hand-to-mouth gestures, on a persistent basis. Upon detection, a high-power sensor is triggered to capture rich contextual data. This data …

Segmented Touchpad Interface For Text Input On Smart Eyewear, Zhi Li, Xuelin Huang

Defensive Publications Series

Text entry on head-mounted wearable devices is often constrained by compact interfaces, leading to slow or inaccurate input. To address these limitations, a segmented touchpad interface is provided on the temple of the wearable device. A traditional keyboard layout is split into four distinct regions, which are mapped to four corresponding segments on the physical touchpad. Each segment is configured to represent multiple characters, and text is entered through a sequence of taps on these regions.

Linear swipes along the touchpad are utilized to replicate rotational input for selecting suggestions, while long-presses and glides enable character selection from pop-up menus. …

Exploring Protective Behaviours Among Users Of Mobile Financial Services, Nicholas Washington Omollo, Manoj Maharaj

The African Journal of Information Systems

As digital financial services grow, users face rising risks of financial loss through mobile platforms, often due to limited awareness of protective behaviours. This study surveyed 1,159 mobile financial service (MFS) users in Kenya to examine attitudes, concerns, security adoption, and actual practices. A behavioural model was developed by integrating information security and privacy literature with the Theory of Planned Behaviour, and tested using structural equation modeling via smart-PLS. Findings reveal that prior financial loss significantly heightens security and privacy concerns, influencing attitudes toward mobile protection and intentions to adopt secure practices. Loss experiences also increase user vigilance and perceived …

Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device Infections In Saudi Arabia: Incidence, Timing, Causative Organisms, And Outcomes – A Multicenter Study, Saad Albogami, Wael Alqarawi, Ahmed Alfagih, Hiatham Alenzi, Mohammad Alshehri, Mossab Aljuaid, Saeed Alqahtani, Norah Alswaidan, Mohammad Alharbi, Norah Alkaltham, Lama Alasmri, Rghd Sadkh, Muna Albashari, Nour Alhouda, Imad Tleyjeh

Journal of the Saudi Heart Association

Background: Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) substantially improve outcomes in cardiac patients, but device-related infection can negate these benefits. Data on the epidemiology of CIED infections in Saudi Arabia are limited. Methods: We performed a multicenter retrospective cohort study of consecutive patients receiving CIEDs (pacemakers [PPM], implantable cardioverter-defibrillators [ICD], and cardiac resynchronization devices [CRT]) at three tertiary hospitals in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from January 2017 through December 2021. Patients were followed for at least one year post-implantation. Data collected included patient demographics, device type (new implant, replacement, revision), infection timing and microbiology, management (device extraction vs conservative treatment), and outcomes. …
