  • Patent number: 11968243
    Abstract: A containerized cross-domain solution (CDS) is disclosed herein. In some examples, a first network interface container can be executed on a server to run a first network interface application to receive a data packet that includes data generated by a first process executing at a first security domain. A filter container can be executed on the server to run a data filter to evaluate a data content of the data to determine whether the data content violates a set of data rules. A second network interface container can be executed on the server to run a second network interface application. The data packet can be provided to the second network interface application in response to determining that the data content does not violates the set of data rules. The second network interface application can provide the data packet to a second security domain for a second process executing therein.

  • Patent number: 11952036
    Abstract: A steering system for steering a heavy haul trailer dolly comprising a turntable mounted on the dolly for connecting to another trailer unit. The dolly comprising a main frame, a wheel group mounted to the main frame, and a pivot frame mounted to the main frame between the turntable and the wheel group. A counter-steering linkage connects the pivot frame and the turntable. Hydraulic cylinders connect the pivot frame and the wheel group. To automatically steer the dolly, the hydraulic cylinders are locked in length.

  • Patent number: 11956881
    Abstract: An array of non-thermal plasma emitters is controlled to emit plasma based on application of an electric current at desired frequencies and a controlled power level. A power supply for an array controller includes a transformer that operates at the resonant frequency of the combined capacitance of the array and the cable connecting the array to the power supply. The power into the array is monitored by the controller and can be adjusted by the user. The controller monitors reflected power characteristics, such as harmonics of the alternating current, to determine initiation voltage of the plasma and/or resonant frequency plasma emitters. The array of non-thermal plasma emitters may be used in therapeutic, diagnostic, and/or medical sanitization applications, including where a non-thermal plasma treatment regimen for infections such as Trichophyton rubrum, or other fungal infections, is prescribed.

  • Patent number: 11947465
    Abstract: Aspects of the invention include receiving, at an operating system executing on a processor, a write request from a program to write data to a memory. The write request includes a virtual memory address and the data. It is determined that the virtual memory address is not assigned to a physical memory address. Based on the determining, the unassigned virtual memory address is assigned to a physical memory address in an overflow memory. The data is written to the physical memory address in the overflow memory and an indication that the write data was successfully written is returned to the program. Future requests by the program to access the virtual memory address are directed to the physical memory address in the overflow memory.

  • Patent number: 11921900
    Abstract: Managing privacy controls in an information handling system to allow Information Technology Decision Makers (ITDMs) to prevent unwanted disclosure of information while allowing users to work together. A first privacy policy is asserted to protect information. When a user device requests an override to access an I/O device, embodiments analyze device parameters and application parameters to determine whether to authorize the use of the I/O device. If the override request is authorized, the user is able to access the I/O device and a new privacy policy is asserted. If a device parameter changes, embodiments may assess whether the change could result in unwanted disclosure of information and dynamically change the privacy policy to prevent the disclosure.
