Abstract: A technique is configured to provide various data protection schemes, such as replication and erasure coding, for data blocks of volumes served by storage nodes of a cluster configured to perform deduplication of the data blocks. Additionally, the technique is configured to ensure that each deduplicated data block complies with data redundancy guarantees of the data protection schemes, while improving storage space of the storage nodes. In order to satisfy the data integrity guarantees while improving available storage space, the storage nodes perform periodic garbage collection for data blocks to optimize storage in accordance with currently applicable data protection schemes.

Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter relates generally to a treatment garment for use in clothed radiation treatment and diagnosis procedures, and methods of using the garment.

Abstract: An apparatus for cryostorage and manipulation of a plurality of container units includes a cryochamber having a cryo-access port. The cryochamber is electrically cooled at cryogenic temperatures. A unit holder is located inside the cryochamber and is configured to hold a plurality of container units. A user access area is provided for selectively permitting access to a chosen container unit by an authenticated user who has been authenticated by the apparatus. A motive grasper is provided for selectively removing the chosen container unit from the cryochamber through the cryo-access port, and selectively placing the chosen container unit into the user access area.

Abstract: Systems and methods for authenticating a peripheral device prior to allowing the peripheral device access to components and data stored on user equipment. In some examples, the user equipment may include an authorization component that is configured to physically decouple a hardware interface from other components of the user equipment until the authorization component is able to authenticate the peripheral device. Both authorized peripheral devices and the user equipment may be provisioned with authorization data and/or credentials from a system outside the control of the individual users of the user equipment.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are compounds and methods for modulating C9orf72 transcript. Such compounds and methods are useful to treat, prevent, or ameliorate neurodegenerative diseases in an individual in need thereof.

Abstract: Certain embodiments are directed to methods and compounds for increasing FXN. Such methods and compounds are useful for increasing expression of FXN in cells and animals.

Abstract: Systems and methods for encrypting and decrypting data sent to and received from a peripheral device physically coupled to a hardware interface of a user equipment. In some examples, the user equipment may include an encrypting/decryption component that is configured to physically between a hardware interface of the user equipment and the other components of the user equipment. The encrypting/decryption component may be configured to receive a plurality of encryption/decryption schemes from a remote system. The encrypting/decryption component may select and apply one or more of the plurality of encryption/decryption schemes to data being downloaded and/or uploaded to the peripheral device.

Abstract: Described herein are techniques for performing a trusted execution environment (TEE) detection of systemic malware in a computing system that hosts the TEE. As described, the techniques may include a TEE obtaining data from one or more subsystems of a computing system that hosts the TEE. The TEE is configured to execute components in isolation from the one or more subsystems of the computing system. Based on the data obtained, the TEE detects systemic malware on the one or more subsystems of the computing system. In response to the detected malware, the TEE reports the detection of malware on the one or more subsystems of the computing system.

Abstract: Technologies for using edge devices in a cellular network as compute nodes to participate in a blockchain network are described. A cellular network may provision one or more edge devices in communication with the cellular network to instantiate a virtual machine on the edge device to act as a compute node. The cellular network may submit a bid to solve a blockchain hash function using the compute nodes and may instruct the edge to solve the blockchain hash function.

Abstract: In a wireless communication network such as a cellular network, cellular devices may receive over-the-air (OTA) configuration commands that specify requested device configuration settings. For example, an OTA configuration command may be a binary short message service (SMS) message specifying a configuration parameter and a requested value of the configuration parameter. Upon receiving an OTA configuration command, the cellular device refers to a blockchain that specifies permissible values for various configuration parameters. If a requested configuration parameter value is not indicated by the blockchain to be permissible, the cellular device disregards the OTA configuration command and refuses to implement the requested setting. The cellular device may periodically retrieve updates to the blockchain and may attempt to validate any updated blocks, based on previously validated blocks. If the updates cannot be validated, the cellular device may decline to implement any requested configuration settings.
