    摘要: The positions of balloons in a communication network of balloons, such as a mesh network of high-altitude balloons, may be adjusted relative to one another in order to try to maintain a desired network topology. In one approach, the position of each balloon may be adjusted relative to one or more neighbor balloons. For example, the locations of a target balloon and one or more neighbor balloons may be determined. A desired movement of the target balloon may then be determined based on the locations of the one or more neighbor balloons relative to the location of the target balloon. The target balloon may be controlled based on the desired movement. In some embodiments, the altitude of the target balloon may be controlled in order to expose the target balloon to ambient winds that are capable of producing the desired movement of the target balloon.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for secure information input and output is described. The method may include initiating a secure data input mode at a user input device coupled with a computing system, wherein the computing system has a processor for executing an operating system, and the user input device is a peripheral input device for receiving input into the computing system. The method may also include receiving user inputted data at the user input device. The method may also include encrypting the user inputted data within the physical bounds of the user input device prior to transmission of the user inputted data from the user input device to the computing system. The method may also include transmitting the encrypted user inputted data to the computing system for routing to a trusted application, the encrypted user inputted data to remain hidden from an operating system of the computing system.

    摘要: A computer-implemented method includes selecting a polygon that includes a convex shape defined by vertices represented by integer coordinates. The method also includes determining a polygon transfer function from cones defined by some of the vertices. The polygon transfer function defines image processing operations independent of the scale of the polygon.
