  • Patent number: 11805397
    Abstract: This Application sets forth techniques for binding and dynamic provisioning of international mobile equipment identifier (IMEI) values with cellular wireless service profiles, such as subscriber identity modules (SIMS) on physical SIM (pSIM) cards and electronic SIMs (eSIMs) on an embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC) of the mobile wireless device. When pSIMs and/or eSIMs change on the mobile wireless device, e.g., based on installation, activation, deactivation, de-installation, etc., IMEI binding logic accounts for the changes and maps IMEI values to pSIMs and/or eSIMs as required. IMEI values can be assigned based on a history of bindings between IMEI values and ICCID values of one or more eSIMS on an eUICC. A most recently used or a newly assigned IMEI value can be associated with an eSIM. Whether to assign an identical IMEI value to multiple eSIMs depends on requirements of associated cellular wireless service subscriptions.

  • Patent number: 11782849
    Abstract: A processor includes a decode unit to decode an instruction that is to indicate a page of a protected container memory, and a storage location outside of the protected container memory. An execution unit, in response to the instruction, is to ensure that there are no writable references to the page of the protected container memory while it has a write protected state. The execution unit is to encrypt a copy of the page of the protected container memory. The execution unit is to store the encrypted copy of the page to the storage location outside of the protected container memory, after it has been ensured that there are no writable references. The execution unit is to leave the page of the protected container memory in the write protected state, which is also valid and readable, after the encrypted copy has been stored to the storage location.

  • Patent number: 11781337
    Abstract: The present invention teaches an apparatus, system, and method for hanging or supporting lumber or similar materials using standard metal t-post which can be used to construct fences or outdoor structures. A first iteration, incorporating fence bracket disclosed herein, eliminates the need for the use of wooden posts to erect a wooden board fence. A second iteration, incorporating a lumber bracket, is used to attach construction lumber to a plurality of t-posts in order to form a basic support structure, in whole or in part, for a variety of outbuildings. The two variations of the bracket may be used independently, or in conjunction with one another, depending on the particular application. The system may be used to erect a new board fence, transition from an existing wire t-post fence to a board fence, and to construct, or assist in the construction of, sheds, coops, barns, and other similar outbuildings.
