Introduction: Although strides have been made to improve breast augmentation surgery, they have focused on the use of single implant devices, necessitating adjustments to the type of operation performed and implants used. And although some breast types obtain excellent results, many others are less than optimal. By developing a thin synthetic expanded polytetrafluoroethylene device, the Pocket ...

This paper describes ongoing research to harden the lower part of the software stack, normally not covered by existing software-based fault-tolerance mechanisms. I discuss a combination of four techniques to harden the operating system kernel against hardware faults: resilient data structures, asynchronous checks, restartable OS services, and message protection. I present initial performance re...
