  • Patent number: 11933746
    Abstract: A device to host a crystallization medium, such as a solution, for crystal growth and a system for X-ray diffraction experiments to determine the atomic structure of crystals. A plurality of cells have a well, a sample holder placed in the well. The solution is hosted in the sample holder between thin-plates or one thin-plate. A cap seals an opening to the cell and each sample holder can be extracted independently from each well. A system for automated X-ray diffraction experiments for small crystals in the sample holder extracted from the wells utilizes an ultrasonic acoustic levitator to determine the crystal structure at atomic resolution. X-ray diffraction images are generated by scanning the X-ray beam over the levitated sample holder along a spiral trajectory by rotating the sample holder and moving in the direction perpendicular to the X-ray beam and the rotation axis at the same time.

  • Patent number: 10706179
    Abstract: The example embodiments are directed to a system and method for secure provisioning of secrets into MPSoC devices using untrusted third-party systems. In one example, the method includes generating a random number sequence from a true random number generator to produce secret information, storing the secret information in an on-chip secure storage, encrypting, in a device and using public key encryption, the secret information to generate an encrypted message, and transmitting the encrypted message to a third-party system.
