  • Computer Device and Method for Controlling Access to a Printer
    Publication number: 20170026550
    Abstract: Content files are isolated in a sandbox as a content isolation environment formed by a secondary user account. Printing is controlled by an agent via a staging file of a secure file type. The agent intercepts print requests (e.g. print start requests and print end requests) in a printing sub-system of an operating system in order to coordinate and securely control printing of the untrusted content file via the intermediate staging file.

  • Method and Apparatus for Controlling Access to a Resource in a Computer Device
    Publication number: 20160378962
    Abstract: A computer device and method are described for controlling access to a resource. An execution environment executes a user process with access privileges according to a user security context. A security unit controls access to resources according to the user security context, with the user process making system calls to the security unit. A proxy hook module embedded within the user process intercepts the system call and generates a proxy resource access request. A proxy service module in a privileged security context validates the proxy resource access request from the proxy hook module and, if validated, obtains and returns a resource handle that permits access to the desired resource by the user process.

  • INTRAUTERINE CONTRACEPTIVE DEVICE
    Publication number: 20160331579
    Abstract: A method for promoting contraception by placing a contraceptive device within a uterus without blocking fallopian tubes may involve advancing a distal end of a delivery device through a cervix, advancing the contraceptive device comprising an elongate shape memory member out of the distal end of the delivery device and into the uterus, and limiting inferior migration of the contraceptive device within the uterus. Inferior migration may be limited by allowing the contraceptive device to assume a shape, when subjected to pressure that tends to cause a downward migration of the device within the uterus, in which an expandable middle portion of the device is expanded to contact the inner wall of the uterus and thus limit the downward migration of the device.

  • COMPUTER DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING UNTRUSTED ACCESS TO A PERIPHERAL DEVICE
    Publication number: 20160306963
    Abstract: A computer device includes hardware with a connected peripheral device such as a camera or a microphone. An operating system is configured to operate the peripheral device using a device driver and a representative device object. An agent is configured to apply security attributes to the device object which permit access from a primary user account while preventing direct access to the device object by a secondary user account in a sandbox. The agent may intercept requests made toward the device object, examine each request, and then satisfy the request, when the request is allowed, by selectively arranging access to the device object from the sandboxed secondary user account.

  • COMPUTER DEVICE AND METHOD FOR ISOLATING UNTRUSTED CONTENT ON A CLIPBOARD
    Publication number: 20160306964
    Abstract: A computer device and respective method provides a primary clipboard accessible from a primary user account, while a sandbox is used to isolate and contain a secondary user account. A secondary clipboard is provisioned and associated with the secondary user account. The computer device, via an agent, intercepts requests from the secondary user account such as for cut, copy or paste type clipboard operations which are ordinarily directed toward the primary clipboard, and satisfies those clipboard operation requests instead by using the secondary clipboard.
