Abstract: The disclosure provides an innovative delivery receptacle for receiving objects (such as parcels and mail) deposited into the receptacle and securely storing them once deposited. The receptacle allows for the orientation of the position of an input opening and delivery door for a delivering party, such as a courier, to deposit the objects in the receptacle to be changeable with respect to the orientation of an access opening and access door for a receiving party to remove the objects. In one embodiment, the delivery door also restricts access to the deposited objects while they are deposited into the receptacle. The receptacle may be a stand-alone receptacle or it may be a structure-mounted unit, such as installed in a wall or other structure. The receptacle may comprise a separate first and second sections that may be shipped separately and assembled with the desired orientation.

Abstract: An adaptive loading method for real-time hybrid simulation testing based on a space frame model.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of systems, methods, and products comprise a processor, which provides runtime enforcement of data flow integrity. The processor accesses the application binary file from the disk to execute an application and translates the application binary into intermediate representation. The processor applies the logic of data flow integrity controls to the intermediate representation. Specifically, the processor identifies the vulnerable code in the intermediate representation. The processor applies data flow integrity controls to the vulnerable code. The processor adds simple instrumentation that only changes the application's behavior when unauthorized data tampering occurs while preserving the application's normal behavior. When certain operations may cause unauthorized data tampering, the processor takes proper measures to stop the operations. The processor translates the intermediate representation back to a machine code and replaces the original binary with the machine code.
