Abstract: A self-encryption drive (SED) opens a communication session between the SED and a key management server. An identifier of the SED is sent to the key management server, where the identifier uniquely identifies a data structure in a database associated with the key management server and the data structure comprises a timestamp and a media encryption key (MEK). The data structure is received from the key management server, the data structure being wrapped with a shared session key associated with the communication session. The data structure is unwrapped with the shared session key and the MEK is stored only in the volatile memory of the SED based on the timestamp. Data is encrypted for storage in the non-volatile storage media of the SED based on the MEK stored only in the volatile memory of the self-encryption drive (SED). The MEK stored only in the volatile memory of the SED is erased to crypto-erase the SED.

Abstract: A self encryption drive (SED) receives a media encryption key (MEK) from a key management server. The MEK is stored only in volatile memory of the SED. Data is encrypted for storage in a non-volatile storage media of the SED based on the MEK. Further, the MEK is erased in the volatile memory to crypto-erase the SED by deleting all instances of the MEK stored by the SED.

Abstract: Methods and systems for querying data are disclosed. In disclosed embodiments, a data set is batched to a first data set in a first range and a second data set in a second range, the batching based on a determination of data fluctuation of the data set. A first model that includes an m order polynomial based on the first data set and a second model that includes an n order polynomial based on the second data set is generated. In embodiments, a query of the data set is received, spanning at least a portion of the range of the first and second data sets. A query output is generated in response to the query, based on output from the first model and second model.

Abstract: A receiver device receives a signal via a communication channel, the signal (i) having been transmitted by a transmitter device, and (ii) corresponding to a pseudorandom bit sequence (PRBS). The receiver device correlates the received signal with a known signal to generate a correlation signal. The known signal includes the PRBS. The receiver device identifies one or more characteristics of the correlation signal, and determines one or more parameters of the communication channel using the identified one or more characteristics of the correlation signal. The receiver device i) uses the one or more parameters corresponding to the communication channel to process subsequent signals received via the communication channel, and/or ii) communicates the one or more parameters to the transmitter device to prompt the transmitter device to preprocess subsequent signals to be transmitted via the communication channel by the transmitter device.

Abstract: A block copolymer useful in electron beam and extreme ultraviolet photolithography includes a first block with units derived from a base-solubility-enhancing monomer and an out-of-band absorbing monomer, and a second block having a low surface energy. Repeat units derived from the out-of-ban absorbing monomer allow the copolymer to absorb significantly in the wavelength range 150 to 400 nanometers. When incorporated into a photoresist composition with a photoresist random polymer, the block copolymer self-segregates to form a top layer that effectively screens out-of-band radiation.
