  • Patent number: 11958627
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of determining the relative positions of components of a munitions system, the munitions system comprising a first component (331) and at least one second component (333). The method comprises monitoring the output of a resonant circuit (305) provided on a first component (331), the resonant circuit (305) having a resonant frequency, detecting a change in the output due to a change in the resonant frequency caused by a change in the relative positions of the first component (331) and the at least one second component (333), and using the detected change to determine that the at least one second component (333) has moved relative to the first component (331).

  • Patent number: 11922168
    Abstract: A program is executed using a call stack and shadow stack. The call stack includes frames having respective return addresses. The frames may also store variables and/or parameters. The shadow stack stores duplicates of the return addresses in the call stack. The call stack and the shadow stack are maintained by, (i) each time a function is called, adding a corresponding stack frame to the call stack and adding a corresponding return address to the shadow stack, and (ii) each time a function is exited, removing a corresponding frame from the call stack and removing a corresponding return address from the shadow stack. A backtrace of the program's current call chain is generated by accessing the return addresses in the shadow stack. The outputted backtrace includes the return addresses from the shadow stack and/or information about the traced functions that is derived from the shadow stack's return addresses.

  • Patent number: 11378608
    Abstract: A data processing device includes an internal volume for housing devices and an isolation test system. The isolation test system makes a determination that an electromagnetic interference suppression state of the data processing device is to be determined; in response to the determination: suppresses generation of electromagnetic radiation by the devices; while the generation of the electromagnetic radiation by the devices is suppressed: identifies a quantity of second electromagnetic radiation that propagated through a boundary of the internal volume; makes a second determination, based at least in part on the quantity, that the electromagnetic interference suppression state of the data processing device is an electromagnetic interference suppression compromised state; and initiates performance of an action set to remediate the electromagnetic interference suppression compromised state of the data processing device based on the second determination.
