Abstract: An electrode controls transmittance of a blocking layer over a photodiode of a pixel sensor (e.g., a photodiode of a small pixel detector) by changing oxidation of a metal material included in the blocking layer. By using the electrode to adjust transmittance of the blocking layer, pixel sensors for different uses and/or products may be produced using a single manufacturing process. As a result, power and processing resources are conserved that otherwise would have been expended in switching manufacturing processes. Additionally, production time is decreased (e.g., by eliminating downtime that would otherwise have been used to reconfigure fabrication machines.

Abstract: In some examples, for process-to-process communication, such as in function linking, a virtual channel can be provisioned to provide virtual machine to virtual machine communications. In response to a transmit request from a source virtual machine, the virtual channel can cause a data copy from a source buffer associated with the source virtual machine without decryption or encryption. The virtual channel provisions a key identifier for the copied data. The destination virtual machine can receive an indication data is available and can cause the data to be decrypted using a key accessed using the key identifier and source address of the copied data. In addition, the data can be encrypted using a second, different key for storage in a destination buffer associated with the destination virtual machine. In some examples, the key identifier and source address is managed by the virtual channel and is not visible to virtual machine or hypervisor.

Abstract: In a file sharing system, a key manager unit realizes a correspondence between the first user identifier and the first public key in response to a registration request of the first user, generates a first key material for encrypting the first file into a first encrypted file, and generates a first credential according to the first user identifier, the first file identifier, the first public key and the first key material after receiving an access-right claim request to the first file from the first user. A file storage unit stores the first encrypted file and the first credential. The first user uses the first user identifier, the first file identifier and the first private key to retrieve the first key material out of the first credential, and uses the first key material to decrypt the first encrypted file into the first file.
