  • Publication number: 20220388243
    Abstract: An additive manufacturing device is provided and includes a printing material source, a printing head and a temperature control system. The printing material source is configured to contain a supply of printing material. The printing head is receptive of the printing material from the printing material source and is configured to print an object with the printing material. The temperature control system is coupled to the printing head and is configured to adjust a temperature of the printing material during printing to cause state changes of the printing material resulting in the printing material being one of soluble and insoluble in a solvent.

  • Publication number: 20210312046
    Abstract: Embodiments are described for detecting ransomware attacks. Aspects include receiving a memory access request for a memory location. Aspects also include allowing the memory access request based on a determination that the memory location is not present in a decoy address table. Aspects further include terminating a process that made the memory access request based on a determination that the memory location is present in the decoy address table.

  • Publication number: 20210248051
    Abstract: A test apparatus is provided for use with a mainframe and an adapter. The test apparatus includes a logical adapter interface unit and a control system. The logical adapter interface unit is interposable between the adapter and the mainframe whereby an I/O signal transmittable from the adapter and to the mainframe is transmitted through the logical adapter interface unit. The logical adapter interface unit is configured to manipulate the I/O signal. The control system is coupled to the logical adapter interface unit and the mainframe and is configured to control manipulations of the I/O signal by the logical adapter interface unit to mimic a condition of I/O traffic being run through the adapter and to log a response of the mainframe to the manipulations.
