Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure are related to systems and methods for assuring integrity of operating system and software components at runtime. More specifically, embodiments are directed towards a hardware module configured to monitor a kernel start and drivers being loaded into the kernel, and to continually scan the kernel and drivers for undesired modification after load. Further embodiments extend the monitoring capability to userspace processes.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein disclose systems and methods for ensuring integrity of shared computing resources against potentially malicious activities. Embodiments may reassign security operations and procedures away from managing entities and the physical owner of the shared computing resources, and allocate the security operations and procedures to a trusted hardware module which may be authenticated and/or verified by a client side device.

Abstract: A novel method of reducing the undesired skin effect in electrical conductors is presented. Specific applications including efficient power transmission and high frequency magnetic field generation are discussed, and the advantages over prior art are mentioned. The present invention modifies the inductance of a given conductor, allowing the current flowing in the surface of the conductor due to skin effect to diffuse through the remaining conductor area. Inductance is modified in a distributed, continuous fashion via external magnetic structures, ensuring both manufacturability and usability of the resultant conductor. When skin effect inside a conductor is reduced, power loss of transmitted electrical signals is reduced accordingly. Therefore, the present invention represents a significant improvement over prior art.

Abstract: A novel method of reducing the undesired skin effect in electrical conductors is presented. Specific applications including efficient power transmission and high frequency magnetic field generation are discussed, and the advantages over prior art are mentioned. The present invention modifies the inductance of a given conductor with depth into said conductor, allowing the current flowing in the surface of the conductor due to skin effect to diffuse through the remaining conductor area. Inductance is modified in a distributed, continuous fashion via external magnetic structures, ensuring both manufacturability and usability of the resultant conductor. When skin effect inside a conductor is reduced, power loss of transmitted electrical signals is reduced accordingly.

Abstract: By firing ionized reactant particles into a solid block of reactant, fusion reactions occur. As these particles are fired longitudinally into a thin sheet of reactant, fusion products are ejected laterally into a series of charged collectors. Unfused reactant ions that prematurely exit the solid reactant are recirculated by electric fields within the invention, boosting efficiency. Through the use of several collectors, charged particles of many energies are efficiently collected and converted to electric potential. The use of a solid sheet of reactant greatly increases the probability of fusion events taking place. The shape of the sheet acts to isolate the incoming reactant ions from the outgoing fusion products. Fusion products are not generally converted to heat by virtue of the small amount of material present in a typical product trajectory. Singly and together, these improvements act to greatly increase the efficiency of the reactor over prior art.
