Title: Retention based intrinsic fingerprint identification featuring a fuzzy algorithm and a dynamic key
Inventor: FAINSTEIN DANIEL
IPC: G06F21/44
Filed: 2012-09-13
Abstract: A random intrinsic chip ID generation employs a retention fail signature. A 1st and 2nd ID are generated using testing settings with a 1st setting more restrictive than the 2nd, creating more fails in the 1st ID bit string 275 that includes 2nd ID bit string 290. A retention pause time controls the number of retention fails, adjusted by a BIST engine 625, wherein the fail numbers 803, 920 satisfy a predetermined fail target. Verification confirms whether the 1st ID includes the 2nd ID bit string, the ID being the one used for authentication. Authentication is enabled by a 3rd ID with intermediate condition such that 1st ID includes 3rd ID bit string and 3rd ID includes 2nd ID bit string. The intermediate condition includes a guard-band to eliminate bit instability problem near the 1st and 2nd ID boundary. The intermediate condition is changed at each ID read operation, resulting in a more secure identification.

Patent GB-2536203-A (GB)
Title: An apparatus
Inventor: Sujeet Shyamsundar Mate
IPC: G10L25/57
Filed: 2015-03-03
Abstract: In an audio analyser of audio signals associated with an audio scene (eg. a soundtrack from multiple sources in fig. 2 for synchronisation), a spectral flatness value (eg. geometric mean of power spectrum divided by arithmetic mean such that 1 is pure noise) is determined and compared to a threshold. If above the threshold, the signal contains useful audio for time alignment. If the spectral flatness value is less than the threshold, the alignment signal generator (219 fig. 5) may instead output a detectable audio signal (eg. ultrasound) 455 for synchronisation (223 fig. 3). GPS or Camera Pose Estimates may be used to estimate the distance separating the sources in order to account for microphone sensitivity.
