Abstract: Various embodiments provide an interface between a Web browser's layout engine and a scripting engine. The interface enables objects from the layout engine to be recognized by a memory manager in the scripting engine and interact in a streamlined, efficient manner. In accordance with one or more embodiments, the interface allows browser layout engine objects to be created as objects that are native to the scripting engine. Alternately or additionally, in some embodiments, the native objects are further configured to proxy functionality between the layout engine and the scripting engine.

Abstract: Various embodiments enable particular CSS pseudo-classes to be employed, but limit particular functionality aspects of those pseudo-classes that can lead to divulging personally identifiable information. Thus, various embodiments can change how a CSS pseudo-class is allowed to function. For example, in at least some embodiments, CSS pseudo-classes are permitted to be used to make the visual formatting changes to a web page, but not structural formatting changes. That is, changes that do not affect the structure of content within a web document are allowed, while changes that affect the structure of the content are not allowed.

Abstract: In various embodiments, redirection techniques can be utilized to protect against insecure functionality, to mitigate scripting vulnerabilities, and to protect vulnerable exception handlers. In at least some embodiments, a program can be protected from a security vulnerability by using a runtime shield which changes the behavior of the program while it is running. The shield effectively provides a redirection solution that addresses the vulnerability while, at the same time, does not alter the particular program's executable code.

Abstract: Various embodiments detect security vulnerabilities and, responsively, can modify an affected program so that even if an exploit runs, the program's integrity can be maintained. In at least some embodiments, a local automatic vulnerability detection and response (AVD/R) component executes on a user's local machine to detect and mitigate potential vulnerabilities through the use of a shield; and, a remote automatic vulnerability detection and response (AVD/R) component executes to report perceived vulnerabilities so that one or more shields can be delivered and applied locally to mitigate perceived vulnerabilities.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for fastening two substantially coplanar edges without a weld is disclosed. The method includes: configuring a dovetail feature on a first edge; configuring a complementary dovetail feature receptacle on a second edge to receive the dovetail feature therein; disposing the dovetail feature within the complementary dovetail receptacle; and swaging an interface defined between the dovetail feature in said first edge and said complementary dovetail feature in the second edge to swage mating edges defining the dovetail feature and the dovetail receptacle at at least six swage contact points. In one embodiment the swaging is with a hollow circle punch.

Abstract: Apparatus and method include using a bare die microelectronic device; a heat sink assembly; a heat sink mounting assembly for mounting the heat sink assembly independently of the bare die microelectronic device; and, a force applying mechanism that compression loads, under controlled forces, a surface of the bare die into a direct heat transfer relationship at a thermal interface with a heat sink assembly.

Abstract: A stowable seating apparatus for a wheel chair accessible electronic kiosk includes a first curved track attached to an interior wall of the kiosk that has a horizontal portion and a vertical portion; a second curved track attached to the opposite interior wall of the kiosk, parallel to the first track, that has corresponding horizontal and vertical portions; and a bench seat that moves along the tracks on rollers between a horizontal seating position and a vertical stowed position. The stowable seating apparatus also includes a latch for retaining the seat in the seating position and a tensioning spring that applies force to the seat to assist in moving the seat from the stowed position to the seating position. The seat in the seating position allows a non-wheel chair user to sit in the same position relative to the enclosure as a wheel chair user when the seat is stowed.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for modifying a printer cartridge intended to operate in one type of printer to operate in another type of printer. In one aspect, a method of modifying a toner cartridge intended for operation in a first type of printer to operate in a second type of printer includes removing at least a portion of an old laser shutter fin attached to the toner cartridge at a first location, and attaching a new laser shutter fin to the toner cartridge at a second location, with second location differing from the first location. The old laser shutter fin was positioned to engage a laser shutter of the first type of printer, and the new laser shutter is positioned to engage a laser shutter of the second type of printer. In another aspect, the method may include attaching a chip mounting patch to the toner cartridge, and attaching a computer chip to the chip mounting patch, with the computer chip being compatible with the second type of printer.

Abstract: Techniques for collocating a processing unit and a visual unit are provided. An apparatus for such collocation can include a processing unit receiving portion, a visual unit mounting portion, and a connecting bracket. The processing unit receiving portion can be adapted to receive the processing unit, and the visual unit mounting portion can be adapted to mount the visual unit. A connecting bracket can have a first region secured to the processing unit receiving portion and a second region secured to the visual unit mounting portion, and can define a channel that can function as a “chimney” for flow of a cooling medium, and/or as a cable raceway.
