Abstract: A projectile designed to be lead-free and have a ballistic coefficient ranging from about 0.13 to about 0.80 or greater for enhanced energy/performance at extended ranges may have an elongated body formed with a jacket including a wall having an end defining an ogive portion and a cavity or recess defined within the jacket and in which a core is received. The projectile can be configured in various calibers and sizes. The projectile core may be formed from a plurality of core sections, and at least one of the plurality of core sections may include tungsten powder and a lead-free binder material pressed together to form a substantially cylindrical shape or compact. One or more of the core sections further can be sintered, and the one or more core sections may be received in an end-to-end relationship within the cavity defined by the jacket to form a stacked, sectional core.

Abstract: A method for operating an electronic device to configure a subject device, the method comprising steps of: receiving an intent from a subject device, wherein the received intent comprises an action identifier identifying an action the subject device wishes to perform; receiving action data about the received intent from an intent store, wherein the action data comprises an action associated with each action identifier, and at least one constraint associated with the action; and generating invocation data to perform the action, wherein the invocation data comprises the action identifier, and zero or more parameters.

Abstract: A data processing device has a processor which executes software directly from non-volatile memory. The processor has a runtime component which dynamically maps software element identifiers specified by the software to corresponding software elements in memory. Mapping information is used to determine which software elements identifiers correspond to which software elements. This provides a level of indirection which can be used to make software updates more efficient, by updating only parts of the software while leaving old parts of the software as they are. Updated software elements can be stored to memory and the mapping information updated to point to the new elements, while existing mappings may be retained.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for remotely monitoring a plurality of distributed devices is provided. The apparatus and methods determine logging conditions which define a state of a device at which recording of the state of the device should begin prior to an event, in order to identify a sequences of actions which occur at the devices prior to the event.

Abstract: A data processing system operates in a plurality of modes including a first privilege mode and a second privilege mode with the first privilege mode giving rights of access that are not available in the second privilege mode. Application code executes in the second privilege mode and generates function calls to hypervisor code which executes in the first privilege mode. These function calls are to perform a secure function requiring the rights of access which are only available in the first privilege mode. Scheduling code which executes in the second privilege mode controls scheduling of both the application code and the hypervisor code. Memory protection circuitry operating with physical addresses serves to control access permissions required to access different regions within the memory address space using configuration data which is written by the hypervisor code.

Abstract: A method for detecting and responding to a configuration setting capable of causing undesired energy consumption in a configurable electronic device comprises measuring a power state of at least one connection point of the configurable electronic device to establish a measured power state value; comparing the measured power state value with a stored power state value for the connection point; and responsive to a discrepancy between the measured power state value and the stored power state value for the connection point where the discrepancy is capable of causing undesired energy consumption, emitting a condition signal.

Abstract: A data processing apparatus has a scheduler which maintains a queue of function calls to be scheduled for processing by processing circuitry. The scheduler identifies, for every function call in the queue, a target time window within which the processing circuitry should process the function call. The scheduler schedules processing of the function calls based on the target time window.
