Abstract: This document describes systems and techniques for adaptive frequency control in integrated circuits. In response to operating conditions that permit a lower frequency of a clock signal, the described systems and techniques dynamically reduce the clock frequency without adjusting the frequency of an input clock signal. The clock frequency is decreased by gating a fraction of the input clock signal and stretching the ungated cycles by an offset amount. By dynamically adjusting the clock frequency in this manner, an integrated circuit can change its clock frequency more quickly and maintain the supply voltage closer to a lower voltage limit to reduce power consumption and allow safer operations.

Abstract: Techniques and devices for secure persistent software updates are described. Through use of these techniques and devices, events that can prevent a software update from occurring can be detected and operations that enable the software update to occur can be performed. The techniques are capable of ensuring a computing device is using a latest software and that persistent software updates continue, despite any efforts to compromise the computing device.

Abstract: The equilibrium between G actin and F actin is shifted towards the F actin confirmation with compounds such as the ionic form of magnesium or potassium. The higher amount of F actin decreases the inhibition of nucleases such as DNAse I by monomeric G actin. The increased performance of the nuclease results in better treatment of patients suffering from cystic fibrosis or other diseases with viscous mucus.
