  • Patent number: 12146262
    Abstract: Disclosed are non-wood pulps having a fiber length greater than about 1.70 mm and a brightness of about 80% or greater. The relatively high degree of brightness is achieved without a loss of fiber length or pulp yield. The high degree of brightness and relatively long fiber length make the pulps well suited for the manufacture of wet-laid fibrous products, particularly wet-laid tissue products. The pulps may be prepared from plants of the family Asparagaceae by mechanical pulping and more preferably by a chemi-mechanical pulping using a sodium hydroxide alkaline peroxide solution where the primary pulp is cleaned to reduce debris prior to bleaching. Preferably the cleaned primary pulp has less than about 5 wt % debris prior to bleaching.

  • Patent number: 12147541
    Abstract: Techniques for secure boot up of unified extensible firmware interface (UEFI) compliant devices are described. In an example, execution of a driver associated with a hardware component of a computing device may be detected during booting of the computing device. Based on the detection, a first driver hash of a system table of the UEFI may be computed, where the system table is a data structure that stores configuration details of the computing device and UEFI services. Thereafter, a second driver hash of the system table may be computed based on detection of completion of the execution of the driver. The first driver hash and the second driver hash may then be compared to determine tampering with the system table of the UEFI.
