  • Patent number: 12189786
    Abstract: A technology to identify processing paths of untrusted input data received by applications that are vulnerable to attacks and to further detect and prevent actual attacks that try to exploit those vulnerabilities is disclosed. Application code is augmented at run-time with sensor code which detects the entry of input-data into the application and further traces the propagation, manipulation and, sanitization of this input-data until its usage in a data sink. The so generated data-flow traces reveal data-flow paths that lack required sanitization measures to neutralize potentially harmful input-data. Such data-flow paths are reported as vulnerabilities. Further, input-data that reaches data-sink interfaces is scanned by data-sink sensors to identify harmful input data. On identification of harmful input data, an attack is reported, and countermeasures are applied to prevent the identified attack.

  • Patent number: 12189899
    Abstract: Techniques for rejecting apparent (but false) touches caused by objects such as water droplets located in areas with parasitic capacitive paths to ground are disclosed. To minimize these false touches, one or more guard conductors can be located in proximity to the housing and driven with a stimulation signal to shield objects from being capacitively coupled to ground through the housing. In some examples images of touch can be obtained from a non-bootstrapped or bootstrapped scan and also an extended bootstrapped scan wherein the guard conductor is driven with a stimulation signal that has the same characteristics as the stimulation signal being applied to the sensed touch nodes. In some examples, the results of the extended bootstrapped scan can be subtracted from the non-bootstrapped or bootstrapped scan to identify and reject apparent touches resulting from capacitive coupling to ground.

  • Patent number: 12191044
    Abstract: A method is for controlling a nuclear power plant comprising a pressurized water nuclear reactor. The method includes determining that an obtained waiting period and/or a remaining waiting period is greater than a first predetermined time allowing raising of a Xenon concentration to maximal value. The method further includes, responsive to the determination, moving one or more control rods out of the reactor core for compensating the reactivity loss due to an increase of the Xenon concentration, and moving the one or more control rods into the reactor core to a control rod setpoint for the start of power ramp up before the end of the obtained waiting period and/or remaining waiting period.
