Publication number: 20240125253Abstract: A valve actuation system comprises a first arm having a first arm contact surface and operatively connected to a valve actuation motion. A second arm having a second arm contact surface is operatively connected to the at least one engine valve. A discrete lost motion device is provided that is controllable between a first, motion conveying state and a second, motion absorbing state. The discrete lost motion devices comprises a plunger contact surface and a housing contact surface. The housing contact surface is configured to engage one of the first or second arm contact surfaces, and the plunger contact surface is configured to engage another of the first and the second arm contact surfaces. The first and second arm contact surfaces, the housing contact surface and the first plunger contact surface are configured to support the discrete lost motion device between the first arm and the second arm.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Bruce A.

Publication number: 20240113511Abstract: A protection circuit senses when one supply circuit in a group is activating to deliver current to a circuit component and issues firing signals to simultaneously activate other supply circuits in the group. The supply circuits may deliver large currents and high power. The protection circuit may prevent damage to a system that might otherwise occur if one supply circuit in the group activates in isolation.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Applicant: Helion Energy, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Hine, David Kirtley, Erik Scott McKee, Christopher James Pihl, James Melvin Pihl, Jim True, George Votroubek

Patent number: 10824766Abstract: Technologies for USB device policy enforcement include a computing device having a USB controller and secure enclave support. On boot, a firmware enclave randomly generates a binding identity and then securely provisions the binding identity to the USB controller. The firmware enclave also seals the binding identity to a policy enforcement enclave. At runtime, the policy enforcement enclave unseals the binding identity and includes the binding identity in a policy enforcement command sent to the USB controller. The USB controller verifies that the binding identity included in the command matches the binding identity that was previously provisioned. If the binding identities are successfully verified, the USB controller enforces the command. The USB controller may block data transfers or device configuration changes for one or more specified devices. Each of the firmware enclave and the policy enforcement enclave are trusted execution environments. Other embodiments are described and claimed.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2017Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Soham Jayesh Desai, Reshma Lal, Pradeep Pappachan, David Hines
