IPC Code(s): G01R19/04
Abstract: a peak detector comprises multiple small-size amplitude detection circuits coupled in parallel to signal inputs at which a signal is received from a vco. each amplitude detection circuit generates a voltage on an output, indicating a voltage peak or amplitude of a first signal input and a second signal input (specifically, differential output of vco). at a given time, only one small-size amplitude detection circuit is activated to load vco, reducing the impact on lc resonant frequency. the plurality of small-size detection circuits work sequentially, and an automatic averaging of their outputs can significantly improve the peak detector fluctuation (caused by process variation and device mismatch) compared to each single small-size amplitude detection circuit.

Abstract: historic context data is automatically associated with particular pieces of source code by retrieval data structures. ephemeral information is preserved, such as how a piece of code originated operationally and was changed over time, which research sources informed the code's origination and changes, and why particular changes in the code were made. code may be rolled back to an earlier version based on parameters such as whether code had been refactored, or results of testing or static analysis. rollback goes beyond editor undo actions, and a developer need not specify a timestamp or a version number. developer documentation burdens are reduced, developer understanding is increased, and code quality is enhanced, by providing ready access to the code's software development context history data. some actions made possible include highlighting code that was generated automatically by autocompletion or otherwise, highlighting refactored code, and highlighting pasted code, among other actions.

IPC Code(s): G11C29/02
Abstract: a tpm with programmable fuses in an soc includes an on-die ram storing a blown-fuse count and a tpm state read from off-die nv memory. during initialization, if the blown-fuse count is greater than a tpm state fuse count, a tpm state pin-attempt-failure count is incremented, thereby thwarting a replay attack. if a pin satisfies a pin failure policy, and if a tpm state previously-passed-pin indicator is set to true, a fuse is blown and the blown-fuse count incremented depending on the pin being incorrect, but if the tpm state previously-passed-pin indicator is set to false, a fuse is blown and the blown-fuse count incremented independent of whether the pin is correct or incorrect. the tpm state fuse count is set equal to the blown-fuse count. if a counter cleared before processing the pin remains cleared during the next initialization, a fuse voltage cut is detected and a penalty imposed.
