Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for aligning annuloplasty rings during surgical procedures and selectively engaging portions of the targeted annuli. Specifically, the disclosure is directed to methods and systems for aligning an annuloplasty ring or a toroidal portion thereof with natural fiducials present at or near an annular target, and engaging the annulus at the points aligned with the natural fiducials.

Abstract: A method includes, in a processor (44) of a user device (24), preloading one or more user applications (26) in a background mode, in which activities associated with preloaded user applications are hidden from a user of the user device. An activity, which is invoked in the processor and is associated with a given preloaded user application, is detected. An assessment is made by the processor, whether the activity is a preload-initiated activity that is invoked due to preloading of the given user application, or whether the activity is a user-initiated activity that is invoked due to an action by the user. If the activity is assessed to be a preload-initiated activity, the activity is handled using a first handling scheme. If the activity is assessed to be a user-initiated activity, the activity is handled using a second handling scheme, different from the first handling scheme.

Abstract: A method for obfuscation of operations using minimal additional hardware is presented herein. The method can begin by executing a first iteration of a set of computations, the execution of the set of computations resulting in a first iteration output. The method can continue by executing a second iteration of the set of computations, wherein the second execution is distinct from the first iteration but should satisfy a matching condition. The distinction can be a rearrangement of sub-operations, insertion of dummy sub-operations, or a combination of the two. After the iterations are complete, the iteration outputs can be compared. If the comparison of the first iteration output and the second iteration output satisfy the matching condition, the process result can be output. If the matching condition is not satisfied, an error detected signal can be output.

Abstract: Device, system, and method of policy enforcement for rich execution environment. An electronic device includes a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), a Rich Execution Environment (REE), and a hardware-based secure sub-system which includes a cryptographic engine. The REE includes a cryptographic driver configured to initiate a request for TEE authorization to perform a particular cryptographic operation by the cryptographic engine on a data-item that is stored in a memory region that is accessible by the REE. The TEE includes a policies manager to determine whether the request from the REE is approved or rejected, and if approved, to inject data-items into the secure sub-system to enable performance of the requested cryptographic operation by the cryptographic engine.
