  • Publication number: 20250213996
    Abstract: The device of reusable balloons includes a rubber balloon and a base. The rubber balloon has a neck. After the balloon is inflated, the neck is twisted to form multiple tight spirals whose flexibility and pressure prevents air leakage, and the neck is tied into a loose single knot. The base has a first through hole and a second through hole arranged radially away from the base's center. A slit is provided connecting the first and second through holes that is selectively and flexibly opened. After the single knot is run through the first through hole, the neck is plugged into the second through hole through the slit. Four or more rubber balloons can be attached to the base and multiple bases can be coupled and arranged to decorate events. After the event, the single knot can be undone, allowing the balloon to deflate and be stored for repeated use.

  • Patent number: 12339970
    Abstract: A secure boot device includes a counter, a storage device and a comparator. The counter receives a clock. When the processor performs a verification of a firmware for the first time, the counter counts a first verification time taken by the processor to perform the verification of the firmware for the first time based on the clock to generate a first-time verification count value. When the processor performs the verification of the firmware for the non-first time, the counter counts a second verification time taken by the processor to perform the verification of the firmware at least once for the non-first time based on the clock to generate a count value. The storage device stores the first-time verification count value. The comparator is electrically connected to the counter and the storage device. When the processor performs the verification of the firmware for the non-first time, the comparator compares the count value with the first-time verification count value, and generates a comparison result.
