Publication number: 20230103045Abstract: Apparatus and method for treating a substrate, for example texturing a substrate. In some embodiments, a masking material is applied to a surface of the substrate in a predetermined pattern, the surface thereafter contacted with an etchant that removes the masking material. Contacting the surface with the etchant produces multiple co-located textures. In other embodiments, the masking step can be eliminated, and the etchant is applied in a predetermined pattern to produce multiple co-located textures. In still other embodiments, the substrate has a chemical composition, and the substrate is exposed to a leachant that leaches at least one constituent of the chemical composition to produce a substrate with a varying chemical composition at the substrate surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 5, 2021Publication date: March 30, 2023Inventors: Gabriel Pierce Agnello, Joy Banerjee, Aize Li, Robert George Manley, Huan-Hung Sheng, Siva Venkatachalam

Publication number: 20230103046Abstract: Provided is a vehicle equipped with a steer-by-wire type steering device and designed to ensure that a wheel-turning actuator is activated before the vehicle starts traveling, thereby improving the reliability of steering while the vehicle is traveling. A vehicle 1 includes: a steering member 15 for receiving steering operations; a wheel-turning actuator 19 mechanically separated from the steering member 15 and configured to turn wheels; a state switching device 6 for switching between a fixed state in which the vehicle is fixed at a current position and a release state in which the vehicle is released from being fixed at the current position; and a control device 9 for controlling the wheel-turning actuator 19 and the state switching device 6, wherein the control device permits the state switching device to switch from the fixed state to the release state only on or after completion of activation of the wheel-turning actuator.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2022Publication date: March 30, 2023Inventors: Yasushi UEDA, Ryo KATO, Yosuke OJIMA, Takashi KURIBAYASHI, Takeshi TAKAGI, Munetsugu HANJI

Publication number: 20230103049Abstract: In one aspect, a system that provides a context-aware code security solution within a continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline is disclosed. During operation, the system can receive a set of security vulnerabilities generated by a set of security tools incorporated with the CI/CD pipeline. The system further receives contextual data associated with the set of security vulnerabilities from a set of DevOps tools used by the CI/CD pipeline. Next, the system augments the set of security vulnerabilities with the received contextual data. The system next prioritizes the augmented security vulnerabilities to identify a subset of high-priority vulnerabilities within the set of security vulnerabilities. The system subsequently notifies the owners of the identified subset of high-priority vulnerabilities to cause the subset of high-priority vulnerabilities to be fixed by the owners.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2022Publication date: March 30, 2023Applicant: Tromzo, Inc.Inventors: Harshit Naresh Chitalia, Harshil Parikh
