Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed. An example apparatus includes: instructions; and processor circuitry to execute the instructions to: retrieve a random number and a physical unclonable function (PUF) from a trusted environment; generate a virtual PUF (vPUF) based on a trusted operation including the random number and the PUF; and store the vPUF and the random number in a persistent storage.

Abstract: A method for treating flue gas including sulphur oxides and nitrogen oxides includes: cooling the furnace outlet flue gas; contacting it with a sulphur oxide neutralization agent, reducing the sulphur oxides by desulphurization reactions, and obtaining residues; separating the residues from the flue gas; reheating the flue gas; injecting a nitrogen oxide neutralization agent therein; and placing the reheated flue gas and the nitrogen oxide neutralization agent in contact with a catalyst, reducing the nitrogen oxides by denitrification reactions, the cooling of the flue gas achieved by reheating, inside the same heat exchanger, the flue gas separated from the desulphurization residues. The reheated flue gas is mixed, after injecting the nitrogen oxide neutralization agent, with the flue gas cooled after being placed in contact with the sulphur oxide neutralization agent, the separation of the residues and the contact with the catalyst being carried out inside a single separation device.

Abstract: Example systems and methods for electronic sound enhancement tuning are disclosed. An example disclosed method includes sampling, with a microphone, an audio profile of engine noises in a cabin of a vehicle. The example method also includes comparing the sampled audio profile to a model audio profile. Additionally, the example methods includes, when the sampled audio profile does not satisfy a similarity threshold, applying a convergence function to the sampled audio profile to generate a target audio profile, and iterating until the target audio profile satisfies a similarity threshold.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to spare tire damper assemblies for a vehicle and methods for reducing vibration. The assemblies can include a support frame configured to secure a spare tire thereto and a first adjustable isolator positioned with respect to the support frame. A second isolator is positioned in series with the first isolator so that adjustment of the first isolator adjusts a static preload of the second isolator.

Abstract: A method of forming a device is presented. The method includes providing a substrate containing at least a partially formed device thereon. The device comprises at least one defect site. A pixilated image of the defect site is acquired, and each pixel comprises a grey level value (GLV). Surrounding noises of the defect site is eliminated. A point of the image is identified as the center of the defect. A plurality of iterations to exclude outer edge pixels surrounding the center of the defect image is performed. The defect is categorized as a killer or non-killer defect.
