A method for preventing unauthorized access to information in a semiconductor device that is secured with a security protocol that uses a first portion of the information may include in response to a verified inaccessibility-inducing signal, unlocking safety lock circuitry which is operable to prevent unintentional activation of self-destruction in the semiconductor device, and initiating the self-destruction of at least a portion of the semiconductor device. A semiconductor device is configured to prevent unauthorized access to information available therein that is secured with a security protocol that uses a first portion of the information. The semiconductor device may include safety lock circuitry operable to prevent unintentional activation of self-destruction in the semiconductor device and control circuitry operable to unlock the safety lock circuitry and to initiate the self-destruction of at least a portion of the semiconductor device in response to a verified inaccessibility-inducing signal.

Method and apparatus for self-destruction of device protected by a physical unclonable function generator

An improved Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) system is provided. The system advantageously employs full waveform digitization of a returning signal to significantly reduce the number of launch signals and allowing the amount of radiation emitted to stay within the limit set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), while producing a robust information detection signal. In addition, intermittent large latent-duty-cycle sampling employs a less expensive digitizer typically used in prior art GPRs. The system is scalable at low-cost to accommodate multi-antenna multi-static testing for subsurface tomographic imaging.

Wideband ground penetrating radar system and method

A vibrating magnetic antenna for generating reversable magnetic dipoles is provided. Soft magnetic materials are used to project the magnetic field as the magnet moves linearly between soft magnetic stators arranged in a 'Y' configuration. The soft magnetic stators include a nickel-iron alloy, having high magnetic permeability. Also provided is a magnetic coupling circuit for upshifting the frequency of the magnetic field.
