  • Patent number: 11188477
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a computer system comprises a page protection layer. The page protection layer may be the component in the system which manages the page tables for virtual to physical page mappings. Transactions to the page protection layer are used to create/manage mappings created in the page tables. The page protection layer may enforce dynamic security policies in the system (i.e. security policies that may not be enforced using only a static hardware configuration). In an embodiment, the page protection layer may ensure that it is the only component which is able to modify the page tables. The page protection layer may ensure than no component in the system is able to modify a page that is marked executable in any process' address space. The page protection may ensure that any page that is marked executable has code with a verified code signature, in an embodiment.

  • Patent number: 5263292
    Abstract: A system for the preparation and installation of building exterior panels is presented which is both economical and practical. In the described embodiments, edge mounting members having anchor teeth are assembled on all four sides of a laminated aluminum panel having routed out edges. Anchor sockets having anchor teeth indents adapted to mate lockingly with the anchor teeth of the edge mounting members are affixed to the building frame in a mating relation to the edge mounting members and in a location to accept the panel. The panel is snapped into engagement with the anchor sockets locking the anchor teeth into the anchor teeth indents obtaining a permanent attachment. Individual panels may be replaced in case of damage.
