  • Patent number: 8972985
    Abstract: A hypervisor, associated with a device, receives guest operating system code that includes an instruction to switch to a new stack provided in hardware associated with the device. The hypervisor provides, to a guest page table associated with the hypervisor, a query for writable pages provided in proximity to the new stack, and receives, from the guest page table and based on the query, the writable pages provided in proximity to the new stack. The hypervisor provides test instructions to the new stack in order to determine whether one or more faults occur, and switches from a current stack to the new stack when no faults occur based on the test instructions.

  • Patent number: 7363497
    Abstract: A method and system to acquire, digitize, store, and deliver live content, such as music, to an end user via a network. The system can capture live content directly into a portable audio format which can be encoded at various levels of resolution into a file. The encoded file can then be transported over a network to a network distributor who can then sell the encoded file to end users. The system can also insert a digital watermark into each user file which can contain the user information, the copyright information, and a unique serial number for future verification and copy protection. The digital watermark can survive file or format conversion.
