  • Publication number: 20230080347
    Abstract: A computing system for securely managing access to resources of a computing device receives an input at a secure login of a user interface. The computing system compares the input to a plurality of stored security measures and activates one of an operating system or a configuration of a false desktop system. A user interface of the false desktop system shares characteristics with a user interface of an operating system and restricts access to specified files, data stores, applications, networking functions, and/or ports associated with the computing system. When configured, the false desktop system or the operating system is enabled based on the location of the computing system. When configured, the false desktop system deletes files, data stores, and applications of the operating system.

  • Patent number: 11581178
    Abstract: A mass spectrometry (MS) apparatus is provided. The MS apparatus includes a mass spectrometer, an ionization source coupled to the mass spectrometer, and a flow injection system (FIS) coupled to the ionization source. The ionization source is configured to provide an ionized gas flow of an analyte towards an entrance of the mass spectrometer. The ionization source is further configured to provide a second gas flow of a second gas. The MS apparatus is configured to measure a mass spectrometer (MS) signal of the analyte. The MS apparatus is further configured to analyze a dependency of the MS signal of the analyte versus a parameter of the second gas flow or a state of the second gas flow and to determine a condition of the apparatus based on the analyzed dependency.
