  • Patent number: 10157268
    Abstract: Each program thread running on a computing device has an associated data stack and control stack. A stack displacement value is generated, which is the difference between the memory address of the base of the data stack and the memory address of the base of the control stack, and is stored in a register of a processor of the computing device that is restricted to operating system kernel use. For each thread on which return flow guard is enabled, prologue and epilogue code is added to each function of the thread (e.g., by a memory manager of the computing device). The data stack and the control stack each store a return address for the function, and when the function completes the epilogue code allows the function to return only if the return addresses on the data stack and the control stack match.

  • Patent number: 9489644
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a route collection module that collects drive history data describing a plurality of routes traveled by the vehicle and associated departure and arrival times for each of the routes, and a vehicle computing system that sends the drive history data and, in response, receives contact information for at least one driver of at least one other vehicle based on a similarity between the collected drive history data and drive history data associated with the at least one other vehicle. The vehicle further includes an interface that displays or plays the contact information to facilitate ride sharing between a driver of the vehicle and the at least one driver of the at least one other vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20080257224
    Abstract: A portable, ergonomic work structure for designing and viewing scrapbook layouts. The desktop device includes a tabletop that contains magnets to which a layout mat may be removably attached. The layout mat is preferably a ferromagnetic sheet on which a scrapbook layout can be held in place by removable magnets. The tabletop preferably includes a foldable support to allow the layout to be viewed at an angle and to reduce the desktop table's footprint on the working surface. In order for the layout mat to be held securely to the tabletop while in use, the surface of the magnets in contact with the layout mat are raised slightly above the tabletop surface.
