Abstract: The present technology provides microfluidic shunting systems having multiple channels and associated methods of making the same. In some embodiments. the microfluidic shunting systems comprise a plurality of layers or drainage elements that are stacked and adhered together. In some embodiments, individual channels can be positioned in separate layers or drainage elements. and/or can span multiple layers or drainage elements.

Abstract: There is provided a ceiling panel for a pod room. The ceiling panel comprises one or more cover components movable between an open configuration and a closed configuration; and an actuation mechanism configured to move the one or more cover components from the closed configuration to the open configuration in response to a trigger. The ceiling panel may provide a specified percentage open area in the open configuration. The ceiling panel may be adapted to acoustically insulate the pod room in the closed configuration.

Abstract: A method for transforming untrusted applications into trusted executables through static previrtualization is disclosed. For example, the method receives an untrusted application and extracts a system call from the untrusted application. The method then determines if the system call is privileged or non-privileged. If the system call is privileged, the method replaces the system call with a hypercall. If the system call is non-privileged, it is replaced with a library call. The method repeats this process for additional system calls in the untrusted application to create a trusted executable. The method then forwards the trusted executable.

Abstract: The present invention is directed towards systems and methods for transmitting a DNS beacon for storage. A method according to one embodiment comprises generating one or more data items for logging and transmitting a DNS request to an authoritative DNS server for a logging domain, with the host name of the DNS request comprising the one or more data items for logging. The DNS request, which comprises the data items for logging, is stored on a storage device.
