The first component has a first component manipulation end configured for manipulation by a user and/or a machine, a first component interface end, a first component magnet located at or near the first component interface end, and a first component actuator system including a cable. The first component actuator system is configured to transfer control movements from the first component manipulation end into moments and forces acting upon the cable. The second component has a second component working end configured for performing surgical work, a second component interface end, a second component magnet located at or near the second component interface end, and a second component actuator system configured to transfer moments and forces acting upon the cable into mechanical movements acting upon the second component working end.

Abstract: Disclosed circuit arrangements include a physically unclonable function (PUF) entropy source having passive circuit elements and active circuit elements. A first die has one or more metal layers and an active layer, and the passive circuit elements are disposed in the one or more metal layers. A second die has one or more metal layers and an active layer. The active circuit elements are coupled to the passive circuit elements and are disposed in the active layer of the second die, and the first die and the second die are in a stacked structure. The stacked structure has the one or more metal layers of the first die disposed between the active layer of the first die and the active layer of the second die.

Abstract: Methods and circuit arrangements for self-authentication of a data set by circuitry on a semi-conductor die include export circuitry and a non-volatile memory disposed on the semiconductor die. The export circuitry is configured to generate a public-private key pair and generate a signature from a data set and a private key of the key pair. The export circuitry is configured to store a version of a public key of the key pair in the non-volatile memory, destroy the private key, and output the data set to external storage.

Abstract: A desk with support structures configured to attach modular attachments is disclosed. Exemplary implementations may include a work surface, a left-side support structure, a right-side support structure, a core body, a working body that provides the work surface, one or more modular attachments, one or more mounting brackets, and/or other components. The one or more modular attachments can be mechanically coupled to and supported by either support structure.

Abstract: A height-adjustable desk is disclosed. Exemplary implementations may include a work surface, a left-side support structure, a right-side support structure, a core body, and a working body that provides the work surface. The core body may include lifting mechanisms such that the work surface of the desk may be positioned for a person in a standing and/or sitting position. The working body may include a control interface configured to be manually engaged by the user, to control lifting and/or lowering of the work surface of the desk.

Abstract: A desk with an upright partition is disclosed. The upright partition connects to the work surface of the desk. The upright partition is configured to support laterally-movable attachments. Exemplary implementations may include one or more of a work surface, a left-side support structure, a right-side support structure, a core body, a working body that provides the work surface, an upright partition that supports laterally-movable attachments, one or more laterally-movable attachments, and/or other components. The one or more laterally-movable attachments can be mechanically coupled to the upright partition and are supported by the upright partition.

Abstract: Embodiments herein describe a SoC with one or more untrusted islands that can host one or more roles or tenants in a data center environment (e.g., a cloud computing environment). In one embodiment, a secure shell encapsulates the untrusted islands with a secure application programming interface (API) to access other hardware resources in the SoC. Hardware resources in the SoC (e.g., HardIP, SoftIP, or both), can either be secure/trusted, or rely on the secure shell to ensure confidentiality.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for a pulley insert. In one example, a pulley insert for a FEAD pulley comprises a first member insertable into a pulley such that the first member is rotatable within the pulley, the first member comprising a cavity for receipt of a second member; and a second member insertable into the cavity of the first member such that, when the first member is inserted into a pulley and the second member is inserted into the cavity of the first member, the second member prevents rotation of the first member relative to the pulley.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing an incident event by a public safety and security organization.
