Inventor: Adam Meek (Richardson, Texas), Qin Ye (Frisco, Texas) Assignee: EMC IP HOLDING COMPANY LLC (Hopkinton, Massachusetts) Law Firm: Womble Bond Dickinson (US) LLP (14 non-locals) office) Application number, date, speed: 16522441 on 07/25/2019 (817 days application release)

Summary: Provides a method to recover encrypted content from structured files. In the encryption process, metadata of a known pattern can be inserted into each of a set of headers of the encrypted content and each of a set of footers of the encrypted content. The processing logic may insert the encrypted content into the structured file, and subsequently (for example, during an attempt to access the content) detect that the structure of the structured file has been damaged. The encrypted content can be identified by identifying one or more of a set of headers and one or more of a set of footers of the encrypted content. In this way, the method allows partial recovery of encrypted content and prevents total loss of content if the structure of the file including the encrypted content is damaged.

Abstract: A voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) circuit that uses digital amplitude control to output an oscillating signal and operation method. Digital control is provided by an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) component, which is shared among many other operating blocks in the system.

Digital control is implemented using on-chip regulators, and digital control is used to adjust current consumption, thereby reducing on-chip area overhead, low-cost and scalable implementation. In one embodiment, when digital amplitude control is provided, a one-time code for optimal phase noise operation can be obtained.

The computing platform can then determine that this key forms a key pair with another key associated with the most recently added block to the blockchain. Once this decision is made, the block can be added to the blockchain. Thereafter, the computing platform can generate a notification indicating that the block has been added to the blockchain, and can send the notification to one or more network devices.
