  • Publication number: 20210031958
    Abstract: A wrap removal device includes (a) an engagement surface configured to receive a container having an outer wrapping and (b) one or more delivery elements disposed on or in the engagement surface. The one or more delivery elements are configured to generate energy that one or more of melts, cuts, or weakens the outer wrapping along a path without melting, cutting, or modifying the container. The wrap removal device can quickly remove the outer wrapping without damage to the container.

  • Patent number: 10701097
    Abstract: A non-transitory processor-readable medium stores code that represents instructions that, when executed at a processor, cause the processor to access an attack description; intercept a data set from an application via an application programming interface (API), where the intercepted data set is based on an attack data set and where the attack data set is used to test for a security vulnerability in the application; correlate, using a Hamming distance, the intercepted data set with the attack description using a correlation type identifier; and report the security vulnerability for the application in response to the intercepted data set based at least in part on a result of the correlation.

  • Patent number: 9954085
    Abstract: A tunnel field-effect transistor device includes a p-type GaN source layer, an ntype GaN drain layer, and an interlayer interfaced between the source-layer and the drain layer. These devices employ polarization engineering in GaN/InN heterojunctions to achieve appreciable interband tunneling current densities. In one example, the interlayer includes an Indium Nitride (InN) layer. In one example, the interlayer includes a graded Indium gallium nitride layer and an InN layer. In one example, the interlayer may include a graded Indium gallium nitride (InxGa1-xN) layer and an Indium gallium nitride (InGaN) layer. In one example, the tunnel field-effect transistor device includes an in-line configuration. In one example, the tunnel field-effect transistor device includes a side-wall configuration. In one example, the tunnel field-effect transistor device includes a nanowire cylindrical gate-all-around geometry to achieve a high degree of gate electrostatic control.

  • Patent number: 9501650
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system that includes a server hosting an application under test (AUT), an observer configured to monitor instructions executed by the AUT, and a computing device communicatively coupled to the AUT and the observer through a common communication channel. The computing device may be configured to send an application request to the AUT, wherein the application request is configured to expose a potential vulnerability of the AUT. The computing device may receive an application response from the AUT in accordance with the AUT's programming. The computing device may send a service request to the observer, and receive a service response from the observer that contains information corresponding to the instructions executed by the AUT due to the application request, information about the AUT, or information about a server hosting the AUT.

  • Patent number: 8796733
    Abstract: A low voltage tunnel field effect transistor includes a p-n tunnel junction, a gate-dielectric, a gate, a source-contact, and a drain-contact. The p-n tunnel junction includes a depletion region interfacing together a source-layer and a drain-layer. The depletion region includes a source-tunneling-region of the source-layer and a drain-tunneling-region of the drain-layer. When no external electric field is imposed, the depletion region of the p-n tunnel junction has an internal electric field that substantially points towards the source-tunneling-region and the drain-tunneling-region. The gate-dielectric is interfaced directly onto the drain-tunneling-region such that the drain-tunneling-region is between the source-tunneling-region and the gate-dielectric. The gate is interfaced onto the gate-dielectric such that the gate is configured to impose an external electric field which is oriented substantially in parallel to the internal electric field of the depletion region.
