Abstract: A 3D printing system for 3D printing of concrete buildings or other concrete structures. A set of cable support masts are temporarily installed at corners of a two-dimensional footprint area of any given level of a multi-level building to enable 3D printing of wall sections or other structural components of that given level of the building using a cable-guided concrete dispensing nozzle suspended from said cable support masts by a set of movable, motor-driven positioning cables. The building is built in stage-wise fashion, level-by-level, with the set of support masts being moved up level-by-level as the levels of the building are completed. The construction of the building is not dependent on a set of ground-level towers distributed around the ground-level footprint of the building, thus notably reducing equipment requirements for the 3D printed construction of tall, multi-storey buildings.

Abstract: A verification operating system (VOS) is an intermediary operating system that verifies data of a primary operating system before the primary operating system controls of the computing device. When the computing device is initialized, initial boot processes load the VOS instead of the primary operating system. The VOS performs verification processes on data storing the primary operating system to verify that the primary operating system has not been manipulated or corrupted before passing control of the computing device to the primary operating system. A VOS also may be used to verify an operating system used by a virtual machine (VM). The VOS verifies data storing a VM operating system to be used for requested VMs. If the VOS verifies that the VM OS data is accurate, the VOS provides the VM OS data to a hypervisor for use in a VM.
