Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods employ advantages of ultrasonic vibration in the field of electrospinning. Fibers are produced from an ultrasonic nozzle exposed to an electric field established between the nozzle and a target object. Exemplary embodiments include electrospinning techniques that produce fine and ultrafine fibers in a high throughput via multiple jetting of spun solutions and melts. Ultrasonic vibration, in some instances combined with heating, reduces the voltage required for spinning. Vibrating power delivered to the nozzle may be selected so gas bubbles are generated by solvent cavitation in the spun solution. The bubbles are generated at the nozzle exit or else in such positions of the solution path so as to reach the nozzle exit where they further enhance multiple jetting of spun solutions.

Abstract: A TPM with programmable fuses in an SOC includes an on-die RAM storing a blown-fuse count and a TPM state including a PIN-attempt-failure count and a fuse count, read from off-die NV memory. During initialization, if the blown-fuse count is greater than TPM state fuse count, TPM state PIN-attempt-failure count is incremented, thereby thwarting a replay attack. A PIN is received for access, and if the TPM state PIN-attempt-failure count satisfies a policy, a fuse is blown and the blown-fuse count incremented. If the fuse blow fails, TPM activity is halted. If the fuse blow succeeds and the PIN is correct, the TPM state PIN-attempt-failure count is cleared, but if the PIN is incorrect the TPM state PIN-attempt-failure count is incremented. TPM state fuse count is set equal to the blown-fuse count, and the TPM state is saved to off-die NV memory.
