Abstract: A thermoplastic composition comprises, based on the total weight of the composition: 51-90 wt % of a polyester, 10-49 wt % of an ABS impact modifier; 0 to 20 wt % of a multifunctional epoxy compound; 0-40 wt % of a filler; 0-2 wt % of a fibrillated fluoropolymer; and from more than 0 to 5 wt % of a stabilizer composition. An article blow molded or injection molded from the composition has a multi-axial impact total energy from 40-100 Joules at ?30° C.; a ductility of more than 90%, a permeability of more than 0 to less than or equal to 1.5g/m2-day, measured after exposure Fuel C vapor for 20 weeks at 40° C.; an MVR of 1-20 cc/10 min; a flexural modulus of greater than 1300 MPa; and retains at least 75% of its initial tensile elongation at break after exposure to Fuel E85 for 28 days at 70° C.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system are provided for remotely provisioning an operating system for implementing mandatory access controls on a computer system. According to one embodiment, platform credentials may be associated with a hardware trusted computing base (TCB) of a target computer system, and a mandatory access control (MAC)-based operating system may be remotely provisioned on the target computer system.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system are provided for extending a trusted computing base (TCB). According to one embodiment, a first level trusted computing base (TCB) is generated having hardware components including a trusted platform module (TPM), and an extended TCB is formed by adding a second level software-based TCB to the first level TCB, and properties associated with the first level TCB are transferred to the second level TCB.

Abstract: Disclosed is a virtual machine monitor (VMM) that controls access to a page table hierarchy by a guest operating system (OS). For example, the guest operating system may operate as part of a virtual machine. Particularly, the virtual machine monitor obtains control of memory access transactions responsive to the guest operating system attempting to access the page table hierarchy. More particularly, when the guest operating system attempts to access a page table, control of memory access transactions is trapped to the virtual machine monitor.

Abstract: An adaptive resource utilization apparatus for an application. The apparatus includes a costing subsystem engine configured to measure resource utilization of application-defined subsystems within that application as well as a feedback mechanism configured to interface the application to the costing engine. The application is enabled to modify its operating parameters based on resource utilization of its individual subsystems as presented to the application by the feedback mechanism.

Abstract: A thread switch handler is provided which monitors performance characteristics of a processor executing instructions from two or more threads of an application. The thread switch handler detects when the processor has switched between a first and second thread and is capable of reading the performance registers available in many commercial processors at or about that time. The data that is read from the performance registers at each thread switch represents performance characteristics of the processor on a per-thread basis.
