Abstract: Systems are provided for generating, modifying and using SBOMs for facilitating risk assessment and threat mitigation for corresponding programs, and particularly for large programming builds. The creation and modification of the SBOMs includes processes for omitting declarations referenced in chunk SBOMs of program chunks incorporated into a final programming build associated with a build SBOM, but which are not actually utilized by the final programming build, as well as processes for adding new declarations for code segments that are not declared in the related chunk SBOMs, even though the code segments are utilized by the final programming build. Systems are also configured to use SBOMs in combination with configuration restriction records to assess and resolve threat events in a manner that can prevent unnecessary remedial actions for threat events that appear to be relevant to one or more files or dependencies incorporated into a program.

Abstract: The present invention offers methods for generating electromagnetic force-fields. The methods utilize a vortex of rapidly rotating discrete matter that may self-generate electromagnetic field and magnetic compression in the Z-axis of the vortex to create an induced electromagnetic force-field in the eye region of the vortex. The induced electromagnetic force-field acts substantially orthogonally outward from ?-plane of the vortex and substantially parallel to the Z-axis of the vortex, and may be harnessed as useful force for engines, motors, rockets, turbines, and/or other applications where power, pressure, propulsion, energy, and/or force are needed. Certain embodiments may also achieve nuclear fusion within the vortex that may be utilized to help power the methods of the present invention and/or be utilized for additional applications where energy is needed.

Abstract: A photovoltaic device comprises plural layers separated into plural cells, each comprising a region of a photoactive layer and electrodes on opposite sides thereof. Each of the regions of the photoactive layer are formed comprising a first part that comprises photoactive material and a second part that is not photoactive and that has a greater transmittance of visible light than the light absorbing photoactive material, in pre-selected locations, or in a pre-selected distribution of locations, across the region of the photoactive layer. One of the first and second parts are located in plural separate areas within the other of the first and second parts. The transparency of the photovoltaic device is increased by the transmission of light through the second part that is not photoactive.
