Abstract: An enforcement mechanism on an operating system instance enforces a segmentation policy on a container. A configuration generation module executing in a host namespace of the operating system instance receives management instructions from a segmentation server for enforcing the segmentation policy on a container. The configuration generation module executes in the host namespace to configure a traffic control and monitoring module in a container namespace associated with the container. The traffic control and monitoring module in the container namespace controls and monitors communications to and from the container in accordance with its configuration. By executing a configuration generation module in the host namespace to configure traffic control and monitoring module in the container namespace, the enforcement mechanism beneficially enables robust and lightweight enforcement in a manner that is agnostic to different containerization protocols.

The first and second ultrasound transducers are configured to emit a first and second ultrasound waves, respectively, that exhibit different frequencies. The first and second ultrasound transducers can emit the first and second ultrasound waves in directions that are selected to cause the first and second ultrasound waves to intersect with each other at an intersection site that is at or near a selected nerve. At the intersection site, the first and second ultrasound waves can non-linearly interact to form an acoustic wave exhibiting a frequency that is less than the frequencies of the first and second ultrasound waves. The acoustic wave can modulate a selected nerve.
