Abstract: A computer system analyzes the state of a computer system to determine whether that state violates one or more security goals from a particular perspective, such as a particular user account or role. The system takes into account a combination of access rights, permissions, and entitlements to determine whether the state of the computer system violates any of the security goals. In response to determining that at least one of the security goals is violated, the computer system may change the state of the computer system so that it no longer violates the security goals, or prevent the computer system from being put into that state.

Abstract: An integrated device package is disclosed. The package can include a carrier, such as first integrated device die, and a second integrated device die stacked on the first integrated device die. The package can include a buffer layer which coats at least a portion of an exterior surface of the first integrated device die and which is disposed between the second integrated device die and the first integrated device die. The buffer layer can comprise a pattern to reduce transmission of stresses between the first integrated device die and the second integrated device die.

Abstract: A double-row spherical roller bearing comprising an outer ring which presents a first and a second spherical raceway on a radially inner peripheral surface, an inner ring which presents a first and a second outer curved-shaped raceway. Moreover, roller elements are arranged in a first and second roller row being axially displaced from each other, and arranged in-between the respective first and second inner raceways of the outer ring and the first and second outer raceways of the inner ring. The outer ring includes a first groove on the radially inner peripheral surface located in-between the first and second inner raceways, extending radially outwardly and in the circumferential direction of the ring. The first and second inner raceways have hard turned surfaces. The first groove presents a hardened surface which has not undergone any post-hardening machining operation. The double-row spherical roller bearing can be a wind turbine bearing arrangement.

Abstract: Stacked layers of non-continuous opaque layer structures are disclosed herein that may be configured to block radiation such as visible light or other forms of light, while at the same time allowing penetration of ambient gases. In one example, such non-continuous opaque layer structures may be configured as stacked non-continuous metal layer structures that together fully block penetration of radiation while at the same provide sufficient open spaces between and/or within the metal layer segments of a given integrated circuit layer to meet maximum metal spacing rules. In another example, such non-continuous opaque layer structures may be configured as capacitive structures.

Abstract: A system and process for communicating between at least two different objects, such as vehicles is disclosed. The system can include a portable communication device, as well as a central communication server. This system can also include a plurality of databases which are disposed on or in communication with the servers. The databases can include a plurality of tables with the tables being used to monitor the activities and track the habits of the objects.

Abstract: Datacenter datasets and other information are visually displayed in an augmented reality view using a portable device. The visual display of this information is presented along with a visual display of the actual datacenter environment. The combination of these two displays allows installers and technicians to view instructions or other data that are visually correlated to the environment in which they are working.

Abstract: A medical prosthesis for use within the body which is formed of radiation treated ultra high molecular weight polyethylene having substantially no detectable free radicals, is described. Preferred prostheses exhibit reduced production of particles from the prosthesis during wear of the prosthesis, and are substantially oxidation resistant.

Abstract: A multi-angle ultra wide band antenna for electronic devices is disclosed. The said antenna cover all mobile bands worldwide: 700/850/900/1700/1800/1900 and 2100 MHz and with sufficient bandwidth to include the 2400 and 2500 MHz mainly used in wireless networks, having a radiated element supported by a first substrate and expanding into a spatial geometry for transmission and reception of radio signal. An antenna base has a plurality of first solder pads on a second substrate for physical attachment to a printed circuit board and a second solder pad electrically connected to a terminal of said antenna to radio circuitry feed point, with compatible surface mount technology. The first and second substrates are joined by a bending line as a single substrate, where the said first substrate is allowed to be bent relative to the plane of the said second substrate.

Abstract: A gas and/or humidity sensor system may include two differing capacitive sensor unit cell structures. A first unit cell has a capacitance measurement that is dependent upon capacitance effects that substantially do not extend to the upper reaches of the sensor's gas/humidity sensitive layer and a second unit cell has a capacitance measurement that is dependent upon electric field effects that extend substantially beyond the distance of the electric fields of the first unit cell. The capacitance associated with the electric fields in the upper regions of the gas/humidity sensitive layer may then be obtained to a first order by subtracting the capacitance of the first unit cell from the capacitance of the second unit cell. By subtracting the capacitance, a capacitance associated with the capacitance of the electric fields of the layer (or portion of layer) of interest may be approximated.

Abstract: A humidity sensor is provided having humidity levels approaching 100% relative humidity can be measured, as well as condensation measurements which appear as RH values “above 100%”. The humidity sensor is a capacitance based sensor. The capacitor(s) of the sensor is dimensioned so that substantial electric fields of the capacitor extend to the sensor/ambient air interface so that the conditions at the ambient side of the interface provide data for the sensor. In particular, the capacitance effects of moisture formation on the ambient side of the sensor/ambient air interface are utilized as part of the measurements so that relative humidity levels below and above 100% can be detected. The capacitor(s) of the sensor is dimensioned so that substantial electric fields of the capacitor extend to the air interface so that the conditions at ambient side of the interface provide data for the sensor.

Abstract: In this invention, a process for producing fermentable sugars derivable from biomass that contains polysaccharide, such as cellulose, which has been made increasingly accessible as a substrate for enzymatic degradation or other methods of depolymerization. The process of the present invention increases accessibility of polysaccharides, typically present in biomass and produces polysaccharides with increased accessibility. The polysaccharides with increased accessibility may be subsequently saccharified to yield fermentable sugars. These fermentable sugars are subsequently able to be fermented to produce various target chemicals, such as alcohols, aldehydes, ketones or acids.
