Abstract: A computing module is described herein, wherein the computing module is configured to perform acts including generating a digital signature for a printed circuit board (PCB), wherein the digital signature is based upon a sensor signal generated by a sensor that is electrically coupled to at least one of a trace of the PCB or an electrical component of the PCB. The acts further include determining that the PCB is authentic and is free of tampering based upon the digital signature. The acts additionally include outputting an indication that the PCB is authentic and is free of tampering responsive to determining that the PCB is authentic and is free of tampering.

Abstract: An apparatus comprises a pin, a stop, a spring, one or more flanges, a measurement device, and a transmitter. The pin comprises a first end configured for insertion in an aperture in a component. The stop is slidably engaged with the pin and configured to contact a first surface of the component as the pin is inserted into the aperture in the component. The spring couples the stop to the housing. The one or more flanges are located proximate to the first end of the pin. The one or more flanges are configured to contact a second surface of the component. The measurement device is coupled to the pin. The transmitter is communicatively coupled to the measurement device.

Abstract: A device and system allows for simplified connection, disconnection, and mitigation of signal interference for electrophysiological testing. One or more electrophysiological electrodes are attached to the patient. These electrodes are connected to leads which are bundled based on region with a single connector associated with each bundle. The bundles are individually keyed and colored for ease of connection and disconnection. Leads within a bundle are organized through the use of a retainer. Electrode bundles are connected to a junction box within proximity to the patient. A single cable connects the junction box to an electrophysiological testing and monitoring interface. A system for visualizing lead bundle data, organizing individual electrode data by the lead bundles that they are associated, facilitates a workflow allowing for rapid and simple channel identification in association with specific electrode regions.

Abstract: The various technologies presented herein relate to determining a network attack is taking place, and further to adjust one or more network parameters such that the network becomes dynamically configured. A plurality of machine learning algorithms are configured to recognize an active attack pattern. Notification of the attack can be generated, and knowledge gained from the detected attack pattern can be utilized to improve the knowledge of the algorithms to detect a subsequent attack vector(s). Further, network settings and application communications can be dynamically randomized, wherein artificial diversity converts control systems into moving targets that help mitigate the early reconnaissance stages of an attack. An attack(s) based upon a known static address(es) of a critical infrastructure network device(s) can be mitigated by the dynamic randomization.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides cost-effective sol-gel methods to produce nanostructured, nanoporous vanadium oxides from inexpensive vanadium halides of the formula VOX3. In one aspect, a synthetic method for preparing vanadium (IV,V) mixed oxide gels is described comprising epoxide-assisted gelation of a vanadium halide of the formula VOX3, such as VOCl3. The resulting aerogels are robust and possess similar morphology and reactivity to gels fabricated via the significantly more costly vanadium alkoxide methods.
