Disclosed are an Ethereum state data storage optimization method, an Ethereum state data storage optimization system, and an Ethereum system. The method includes: using an MPT tree structure to store Ethereum state data; and compressing a height of an MPT tree, so as to reduce the number of times of disk io. By increasing capacity of a branch node, optimization in a horizontal direction can be performed to the MPT tree of Ethereum state data; by compressing the height of the MPT tree of the Ethereum state data on a single prefix path, optimization in a vertical direction can be performed to the MPT tree of the Ethereum state data; and by selecting and arranging different key lengths according to a data type, layers of the MPT tree can be effectively reduced, so that the purpose of reducing the number of times of disk io can be achieved.

The codeword accessing method including: receiving a write data with M message bits; generating parity information with N-M bits based on an error correction algorithm and the M message bits, where N and M are positive integers; transforming the M message bits and the parity information to a scrambled codeword with N bits by a scrambling operation, where the scrambled codeword contains only a part of the M message bits; and writing the scrambled codeword into a memory device.

An interface apparatus and method for transmission and reception of a control signal and a digital stream between an audio/video (A/V) system and a digital data recording and/or reproducing device are provided. The device for recording and/or reproducing digital data includes: a storage unit storing digital data encoded in a predetermined format; a decoder unit decoding digital data stored in the storage unit; an interface unit transmitting the decoded data to an external device; and a control unit controlling the storage unit, the decoder unit, and the interface unit.

A method for automatically authenticating unknown video data based on known video data stored at a client server is provided, wherein, unknown and known video data each are made up of segments and include metadata, a hash message digest, and a serial code. The method involves selecting a first segment of the unknown video and locating the serial code within the first segment of the unknown video data. The serial code is used to locate a corresponding first segment in the known video data. The first segment may include a known hash message digest. A new hash message digest for the first segment of the unknown video data is generated and compared with the known hash message digest. If they match, the segment of unknown video data is authentic.

An image sensor includes an image information processing unit that forms integrated information in which image sensor identification information capable of identifying the image sensor and image information obtained by an analog/digital conversion unit are associated with each other, and an image information output unit that outputs the integrated information to an external unit.

An apparatus includes a trigger generator and at least one multiplexer. The trigger generator is configured to generate a non-periodic trigger output. The at least one multiplexer is configured to output a valid control signal and an obfuscated control signal in response to a key value input. The obfuscated control signal is selectively set to one of a valid control signal and an invalid control signal based on the non-periodic trigger output.

The present disclosure describes aspects of codeword interleaving for magnetic storage media. In some aspects, segments of a codeword are spread or interleaved across multiple sectors of magnetic storage media. Data for one or more codewords may be received by a read channel and, for each codeword, a respective indicator is selected or received. The indicator may indicate which partitions of the multiple sectors that segments of one of the codewords are to be written. The data is then encoded to provide the codewords and segments of the codewords are placed in an interleaver based on the respective indicator corresponding to the codeword. The codeword segments are written from the interleaver to partitions of the multiple sectors of the magnetic storage media. By so doing, codewords may be spread across multiple sectors, such that a loss of a few sectors does not prevent readback and decoding of the codewords.

An image processing device includes a multimedia intellectual property (IP) block which processes image data including a first component and a second component; a memory; and a frame buffer compressor (FBC) which compresses the image data to generate compressed data and stores the compressed data in the memory. The frame buffer compressor includes a logic circuit which controls a compression sequence of the first component and the second component of the image data.

In various embodiments, an encoding optimization application positions key frames within encoded video sequences based on shot changes. The encoding optimization application determines key frame location(s) based on shot change(s) included in a source video sequence associated with a media title. Each key frame location is associated with a different frame included in the source video sequence. For each of the key frame location(s), the encoding optimization application configures an encoding application to encode a frame of video content located at the key frame location as a key frame when performing encoding operations. Subsequently, the encoding optimization application causes the encoding application to perform encoding operation(s) on the source video sequence to generate a first encoded video sequence. During playback, the media title is switchable between a decoded version of the first encoded video sequence and a decoded version of a second encoded video sequence at the key frame location(s).

A digital focal plane array includes an all-digital readout integrated circuit in combination with a detector array. The readout circuit includes unit cell electronics, orthogonal transfer structures, and data handling structures. The unit cell electronics include an analog to digital converter. Orthogonal transfer structures enable the orthogonal transfer of data among the unit cells. Data handling structures may be configured to operate the digital focal plane array as a data encryptor/decipherer. Data encrypted and deciphered by the digital focal plane array need not be image data.
