Abstract: The concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to zero day attack detection. A system can monitor, by a sequence manager, a sequence of transaction requests. The sequence manager can determine whether a transaction request in the sequence is anomalous. In response to determining that the transaction request is anomalous, and before the allowing the system to process the transaction request, the sequence manager can provide the sequence of transaction requests to a sequence emulator. The sequence emulator can attempt to verify an output of the sequence of transaction requests. The sequence manager can receive a notification from the sequence emulator. The notification can indicate whether the output of the sequence of transaction requests can be verified. In response, the sequence manager can instruct the system to deny (if the output cannot be verified) or allow (if the output can be verified) processing of the sequence of transaction requests.

Abstract: According to an example, a display having a display surface may comprise a backlight, a collimator, and a scattering layer. The backlight may emit light towards the display surface, the light being narrowed by the collimator. The collimator may be located between the display surface and the backlight and the scattering layer may be between the display surface and the collimator. The scattering layer may be selectively operable between a diffuse state in which light traveling through the scattering layer is scattered and a non-diffuse state in which the direction of travel of the light traveling through the scattering layer is substantially unaffected.

Abstract: A sensor circuit for a power FET monitors current flowing through the FET and includes a regulator circuit regulating a first current flowing through a sense resistance, so voltage drop at the sense resistance corresponds to voltage drop between terminals of the FET. A measurement circuit provides a second current corresponding (or being proportional) to the first current. A first switch selectively applies the second current to a resistor based on a first control signal, and a low pass filter generates a low-pass filtered signal by filtering voltage at the resistor. A voltage follower generates a replica of the low-pass filtered signal, and a second switch selectively applies the replica to the resistor. When the FET is closed, a control circuit closes the first switch and opens the second electronic switch. When the FET is opened, the control circuit opens the first electronic switch and closes the second electronic switch.

A second SiC layer is grown on the first SiC layer, which includes introducing into the reaction chamber a precursor in the gaseous phase of a first dopant having a first electrical conductivity to generate a first stress in the second SiC layer, and introducing into the reaction chamber a precursor in the gaseous phase of a second dopant having a second electrical conductivity opposite to the first electrical conductivity, to generate a second stress in the second SiC layer that is opposite to, and balances, the first stress. The SiC wafer is thus without effects of warpage.
