Abstract: A magnetic multi-pole propulsion array system is applied to at least one external cathode and includes a plurality of magnetic multi-pole thrusters connected adjacent to each other. Each magnetic multi-pole thruster includes a propellant provider, a discharge chamber, an anode and a plurality of magnetic components. The propellant provider outputs propellant. The discharge chamber is connected with the propellant provider to accommodate the propellant. The anode is disposed inside the discharge chamber to generate an electric field. The plurality of magnetic components is respectively disposed on several sides of the discharge chamber. One of the several sides of the discharge chamber of the magnetic multi-pole thruster is applied for one side of a discharge chamber of another magnetic multi-pole thruster.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing kernel software driven color remapping of rendered primary surfaces are disclosed. A system includes at least a general processor, a graphics processor, and a memory. The general processor executes a user-mode application, a user-mode driver, and a kernel-mode driver. A primary surface is rendered on the graphics processor on behalf of the user-mode application. The primary surface is stored in memory locations allocated for the primary surface by the user-mode driver and the kernel-mode driver is notified when the primary surface is ready to be displayed. Rather than displaying the primary surface, the kernel-mode driver causes the pixels of the primary surface to be remapped on the graphics processor using a selected lookup table (LUT) so as to generate a remapped surface which stored in memory locations allocated for the remapped surface by the user-mode driver. Then, the remapped surface is displayed.

Abstract: A verification method and a verification system for an information and communication safety protection mechanism are provided. The verification methods includes: selecting a target malicious program, and collecting at least one behavioral trace of the target malicious program; providing a target machine and deploying a protection mechanism to be tested for the target machine; configuring the target machine to reproduce the at least one behavioral trace; and determining whether the protection mechanism to be tested detects an abnormal event, so as to verify an effectiveness of the protection mechanism to be tested.

Abstract: A hot video prediction system is provided. A video comments database stores video comments submitted by a plurality of users. A user social network constructor establishes a user social network according to the video comments. When new comments of a new video are received, a hot video predictor uses the user social network to determine a similar theme between the new video and hot videos that have been hot for a period of time, and predicts whether the new video will become popular accordingly. A social network adaptor checks the prediction, and modifies the user social network accordingly.
