Most noninvasive brain scanning systems use continuous-wave fNIRS, where the tissue is irradiated by a constant stream of photons. However, these systems cannot differentiate between scattered and ...

A new interface for implementing device drivers outside the kernel has one project saving about 5,000 lines of code. The concept of supporting user-space drivers has appeared on LWN a few times before ...

Device Drivers are the software through which the kernel of a computer communicates with different hardware without having to go into the details of how the hardware works. It is software that ...

Chicago and Sydney, Australia, January 22, 2008 — Open Kernel Labs (OK Labs), a global provider of embedded systems software and virtualization technology, announced today that OKL4, through its ...

Writing device drivers can be a tricky task. Simply getting a piece of hardware to operate as desired – perhaps working from erroneous or nonexistent documentation – can be a frustrating process.

Samsung's attempt to prevent attacks on Galaxy phones by modifying kernel code ended up exposing it to more security bugs, according to Google Project Zero (GPZ). Not only are smartphone makers like ...

Another day, another vulnerability. Discovered by [Kevin Backhouse], CVE-2018-4407 is a particularly serious problem because it is present all throughout Apple’s product line, from the Macbook to the ...

As part of its effort to protect Windows 10 from the next WannaCry, security researchers at Microsoft discovered a buggy Huawei utility that could have given attackers a cheap way to undermine the ...

Recent advances in brain imaging techniques facilitate accurate, high-resolution observations of the brain and its functions. For example, functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a widely ...
