Abstract: A computer system includes a processor that operates in a normal world and a secure world and that provides hardware-level isolation between the normal world and the secure world. A storage device of the computer system has a protected data region that stores critical data. A random-access memory of the computer system has a normal memory space that is accessible in the normal world and a secure memory space that is accessible only in the secure world. The secure memory space stores commands that transfer the critical data between the protected data region and the normal memory space by direct memory access.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a roofing system. In some embodiments, the roofing system comprises at least one steep slope roof substrate having a first region. In some embodiments, the first region comprises a plurality of shingles. In some embodiments, each of the plurality of shingles comprises at least one antimicrobial agent. In some embodiments, the at least one steep slope roof substrate also comprises a second region. In some embodiments, the second region comprises an antimicrobial scavenger layer that is configured to receive runoff from the first region of the steep slope roof substrate. In some embodiments, the runoff comprises an initial concentration of at least one antimicrobial agent and water. In some embodiments, the antimicrobial scavenger layer is configured to capture the at least one antimicrobial agent so as to reduce the initial concentration of the at least one antimicrobial agent in the runoff.

Abstract: Diagnosis of lung cancer based on the expression level(s) of one or more GTPase of Immunity-Associated Proteins (GIMAP) and method for identifying anti-lung cancer drug candidates based on their up-regulation of GIMAP activity.

Abstract: Solar-reflective roofing granules having deep-tone colors are formed by coating base mineral particles with a coating composition including an infrared-reflective pigment. Color is provided by colored infrared pigment, light-interference platelet pigment, or a metal oxide.

Abstract: Algae-resistant roofing granules include inert base particles with an exterior coating including high-surface area silver as a biocide.

Abstract: A roofing article is prepared by applying a thin metal or metal oxide film to a base substrate.

Abstract: A roofing membrane with high solar heat reflectance includes a bituminous base sheet, a tie-layer with a reinforcement material, and a solar heat-reflective upper layer.

Abstract: A roofing membrane with high solar heat reflectance includes a bituminous base sheet, a tie-layer with a reinforcement material, and a solar heat-reflective upper layer formed from a powder coating filled with a solar heat-reflective pigment.

Abstract: Roofing granules are produced by suspending selected mineral particles in a selected medium to separate the individual particles, uniformly depositing a coating material, and curing the coating material.

Abstract: A security cover for hasp bolts to protect said bolts from attack by drilling, filing or other vandalism by means of an enclosure over the bolt heads. Said hasp bolt cover itself is designed such that the cover is secured from within and is therefore resistant to drilling, prying, blunt force assault or other means of attack.

Abstract: A solvent-resisting holographic film is a plastic film combined with an UV resin film, the UV resin film has a holographic pattern thereon, the outer surface of the holographic pattern is combined with a evaporation plating layer with a high refractive index material, each of another sides of said plastic film and said evaporation plating layer is combined with a well chemical-resisting UV resin film. The present invention can save production cost and attains a faster speed in manufacturing a holographic film. And, the film is well resistant to every king of solvent and capable of solving the problems of the bad solvent resistance of a general holographic film product at present causing the holographic pattern thereof to disappear easily.

Abstract: An infrared-reflective material is applied directly to the bituminous surface of a roofing product to increase the solar heat reflectance of the product, even when deep-tone roofing granules are used to color the product. The infrared-reflective material can be applied as a powder or in a carrier fluid or film, and can be applied along with infrared-reflective roofing granules.

Abstract: A paper with a holographic pattern and manufacture of it uses a cold foil UV resin and UV illumination forming to reproduce a holographic pattern from a mother mold to a paper, and then, process a fabrication of a metalized holographic image to fix and protect the holographic pattern; or uses cold foil UV resin and UV illumination combining method to transfer a separating type metalized holographic image onto a paper. Thereby, a high quality paper with a holographic pattern can be obtained and can confirm to the requirement of quality/cost/environmental protection on the market to be used in counterfeit printing, decoration, packing and etc.
