Detection of anomalies associated with interfering processes

A system and method for detecting anomalies and malicious processes by analyzing current consumption profiles is disclosed. The technique involves generating current consumption profiles that characterize the expected power draw for known software applications operating in various modes on a target device. At runtime, the current being consumed by actively running applications is measured and compared to the total expected current draw determined from the individual profiles. Deviations between the observed and expected consumption indicate potential interference from malware or other unwanted processes. Additionally, current fluctuation profiles are generated to model the characteristic transient current behavior when applications transition between operational modes. By comparing runtime current measurements during state changes to these expected transitional profiles, the system can identify aberrations indicative of background malware triggering during the transitions. The current monitoring approach provides an efficient way to detect anomalous behavior from unwanted processes with minimal overhead.

Electroactive lens with raised resistive bridges

An electroactive lens with raised resistive bridges is disclosed. The resistive bridges can connect many ring electrodes in an electroactive lens with a relatively small number of bus lines. These resistors are typically large to prevent excessive current consumption. Typically, they are placed in the same plane as the ring electrodes, which means that the ring electrodes are further apart or made discontinuous to accommodate the resistors. But further separating the ring electrodes or making them discontinuous degrades the optical quality of the lens. Placing the ring electrodes and resistors on layers separated by an insulator allows the ring electrodes to be closer together and continuous and have a high enough resistance to limit current consumption. It also relaxes the constraints on feature size and placement during processing to make the lens. And because the resistors and electrodes are on different planes, they can be formed of materials with different resistivities.

Managing current consumption in a machine learning accelerator

Current surge is managed by estimating the current demand based on the actual instructions being executed and then adjusting the clock for the static schedule. For statically scheduled instructions, the compute elements synchronously execute the instructions according to the static schedule. The synchronization is provided by a common clock that is used to clock the instruction execution by the compute elements. As instructions are being executed, their current consumption may be estimated based on the type of instruction. The current consumptions for the instructions executed by the compute elements may be aggregated, providing an estimate of the aggregate current demand. This can then be used to adjust the clock accordingly.
