  • Patent number: 11961946
    Abstract: A foldable electronic device may have a foldable housing. The foldable housing may be configured to bend about a bend axis. First and second portions of the housing that rotate relative to each other may be coupled by a hinge that is aligned with the bend axis. A foldable display may be coupled to the foldable housing and may be configured to bend along the bend axis as the foldable housing is folded. The display may have an array of pixels supported by a metal layer. The pixels may be interposed between a display cover layer and the metal layer. The foldable housing may have a support layer. To help support the display for bending about the bend axis while preventing damage to the display when the display is contacted by an external object, a spring layer may be interposed between the metal layer and the support layer.

  • Patent number: 11888966
    Abstract: Technologies are shown for HGM based control for smart contract execution. HGM control rules control function calls at a system level utilizing function boundary detection instrumentation in a kernel that executes smart contracts. The detection instrumentation generates a call stack that represents a chain of function calls in the kernel for a smart contract. The HGM control rules are applied to HGMs collected from the call stack to allow or prohibit specific HGMs observed in functions or function call chains. HGM control rules can use dynamic state data in the function call chain. If the dynamic state data observed in function call chains does not meet the requirements defined in the HGM control rules, then the function call can be blocked from executing or completing execution. The HGM control rules can be generated by executing known sets of acceptable or vulnerable smart contracts and collecting the resulting HGMs.
