Abstract: The method and systems described herein provide for identifying and mitigating undesirable power or voltage fluctuations in regions of a semiconductor device. For example, embodiments include detecting a region, such as an individual processor, of a processor chip is exhibiting a reduced power draw and a resulting localized voltage spike (e.g., a spike that exceeds Vmax) that would accelerate overall device end-of-life (EOL). The described systems respond by activating circuits or current generators located in the given region to draw additional power via a protective current. The protective current lowers the local voltages spikes back to within some pre-specified range (e.g., below a Vmax). The resulting reduction in the time above Vmax in testing reduces the number of devices that will need to be discarded due to Vmax violations as well as increases the expected reliability and lifespan of the device in operation.

Abstract: A propeller-driven rocket has a body that is divided into multiple pieces. During the launch and climb, the body reaction to the torque of the propeller keeps the body panels pressed into their initial orientation. At the apex of flight, or a predetermined time from launch, the propeller reverses direction for short period of time. This reverses the forces on the body panels, causing them to release outward. The body panels are hinged such that they may form a rotor for an auto-rotating, controlled descent.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, that protect analytics for resources of a publisher from traffic directed to such resources by malicious entities. An analytics server receives a first message that includes an encrypted token and analytics data for a publisher-provided resource. The token includes a portion of the analytics data and a trust score indicating a likelihood that activity on the resource is attributed to a human (rather than an automated process). The analytics server decrypts the token. The analytics server determines a trustworthiness measure for the analytics data included in the first message based on the trust score (in the decrypted token) and a comparison of the analytics data in the first message and the portion of the analytics data (in the decrypted token). Based on the measure of trustworthiness, the analytics server performs analytics operations using the analytics data.
