Abstract: A Remap Address Space Controller controls access to an address space by selectively remapping a physical address of a transaction received from a controller to form a remapped physical address according to a current execution context of the controller. The selective remapping is based on a determination of whether the current execution context of the controller allows the transaction to access the address space. Remap Address Space Controller selectively provides the transaction with the remapped physical address to a memory bus based on the determination of whether the current execution context of the controller allows the transaction to access the address space.

Abstract: An enhanced security of multiple software processes executing on a computer system is provided by isolating those processes from each other and from access to system hardware resources. Embodiments provide such isolation by executing kernel software that manages hardware and controls physical address space on a separate hardware thread (e.g., in an isolation domain) from the process threads executing application programs (e.g., in execution domains). This renders the software executing in the isolation domain safe from privilege escalation attacks and permits implementation of enforceable isolation between execution systems. A multithreaded processor having switch-on-event multithreading is used to provide software isolation and hardware-controlled handling of a subset of system services by a different hardware thread than the one requesting the service.

Abstract: A temperature measurement device in combination with a furnace heat exchanger is disclosed and claimed. An instrumented heat tracer sensor is launched into the heat exchanger which records the temperature of the fluid and performance at data points along the length of the heat exchanger. If a spike in the temperature as measured and recorded, since the speed of the heat tracer sensor is known, the location of the temperature increase is known which infers a burn through in the furnace. A three way valve includes a retrieve port, a chamber port, and a launch port. A small sensor control pump and a large heat exchanger flow pump propel the heat tracer sensor through the system. A plastic chamber retains the heat tracer sensor for interrogation and downloading information when the sensor is not in use in the heat exchanger. A control station communicates with the heat tracer sensor and extracts the stored temperature data therefrom.

Abstract: A vortex tube is affixed in a first case to a turbocharger in an engine, in a second case to a supercharger in an engine, or in a third case to the intake manifold of an engine. A vortex tube includes an entry port, a cold exit port and a hot exit port. By employing different structural interconnections of the vortex tube with the turbocharger or supercharger, compressed air is cooled prior to entering the engine's intake manifold. The same effect is achieved when the vortex tube is affixed directly to the engine intake manifold. Additionally, the fuel may be heated or cooled, depending upon the specific fuel type utilized.

Abstract: A Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) (66) of a Portable Microkernel Operating System (OS) is tested and verified by loading a HAL test program (96) into Kernel Space (60) as a device driver. This allows direct access to the HAL layer (66) and to the computer hardware accessed by the HAL layer (66). The HAL test program (96) makes HAL layer requests, then verifies HAL (66) operation by directly examining the hardware affected by the HAL request. The HAL test program (96) is controlled by either an external HAL test system (98), or by a HAL control program (99) executing in User space (62).
