Abstract: A variety of applications can include apparatus and/or methods of controlling a secure boot mode for a memory system. In an embodiment, a system includes a memory component and a processing device, where the processing device is configured to control a boot process for the system to operate the memory component and perform a cryptographic verification with a host to conduct an authentication of the host. The processing device can interact with the host, in response to the authentication, to receive a setting to control the boot process in a secure boot mode. The processing can interact with another processing device of the system to store the setting and to receive a secure boot signal from the other processing device, where the secure boot signal is a signal to assert or de-assert the secure boot mode depending on a value of the setting. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.

Abstract: A miniaturized finger worn X-Y graphic interface device. A finger palette (20), a stylus ring (10) and an electronic module (32) exhibit benefits of both an X-Y degitizing tablet and a mouse without their inherent difficulties. A unique location and method facilitate use in an absolute or relative mode. When used in conjunction with a conventional keyboard, the computer-human interface becomes faster, more natural, efficient and intuitive.

Abstract: A soap film type gas flowmeter has an inverted U-shaped gas flow tube adjustably mounted in a sensor assembly. The inverted attitude of the gas flow tube prevents backflow of the soap film solution down to the sensor assembly and prevents diffusion of a heavier gas than the gas whose flow is being measured into the gas flow tube, thereby eliminating diffusion of a lighter gas through the soap film during measurement. The adjustable mounting of the gas flow tube enables optimum operation of the flowmeter for widely ranging gas flow rates. The glass flow tube is made from mandrel drawn glass to ensure high accuracy, which allows interchangeability from flowmeter to flowmeter with no change in accuracy.
