  2. Spectre (security vulnerability) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectre_(security...

    Since the disclosure of Spectre and Meltdown in January 2018, much research had been done on vulnerabilities related to speculative execution. On 3 May 2018, eight additional Spectre-class flaws provisionally named Spectre-NG by c't (a German computer magazine) were reported affecting Intel and possibly AMD and ARM processors. Intel reported ...

  3. Ram-air intake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ram-air_intake

    Ram-air intake on a Kawasaki ZX-12R. A ram-air intake is any intake design which uses the dynamic air pressure created by vehicle motion, or ram pressure, to increase the static air pressure inside of the intake manifold on an internal combustion engine, thus allowing a greater massflow through the engine and hence increasing engine power.

  4. Meltdown (security vulnerability) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meltdown_(security...

    Meltdown exploits a race condition, inherent in the design of many modern CPUs.This occurs between memory access and privilege checking during instruction processing. . Additionally, combined with a cache side-channel attack, this vulnerability allows a process to bypass the normal privilege checks that isolate the exploit process from accessing data belonging to the operating system and other ...

    A hydraulic problem precluded the retraction of the landing gear, but subsequent flights went more smoothly. Early testing resulted in redesign of the air intakes, including the distinctive addition of 12,500 holes to "bleed off" the slow-moving boundary layer air from the surface of each intake ramp.

  6. Acoustic Control Induction System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_Control_Induction...

    The ACIS/TVIS System. Acoustic Control Induction System, or ACIS, is an implementation of a variable-length intake manifold system designed by Toyota.. Simply put, the ACIS system uses a single intake air control valve located in the intake to vary the length of the intake tract in order to optimize power and torque, as well as provide better fuel efficiency and reduce intake "roar".

  7. 2014 Sony Pictures hack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Sony_Pictures_hack

    The exact duration of the hack is yet unknown. U.S. investigators say the culprits spent at least two months copying critical files. [8] A purported member of the Guardians of Peace (GOP) who has claimed to have performed the hack stated that they had access for at least a year prior to its discovery in November 2014. [9]

  8. Variable-length intake manifold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-length_intake...

    Ford — Dual-Stage Intake (DSI), on their Duratec 2.5 and 3.0-litre V6s, and it was also found on the Yamaha V6 in the Taurus SHO. The Ford Modular V8 engines and the V6 Cologne use either the Intake Manifold Runner Control ( IMRC ) for four-valve engines, or the Charge Motion Control Valve ( CMCV ) for three-valve engines.

  9. Cold air intake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_air_intake

    Some strategies used in designing aftermarket cold air intakes are: Reworking parts of the intake that create turbulence to reduce air resistance. [2] Providing a more direct route to the air intake by eliminating muffling devices. Shortening the length of the intake. Placing the intake duct to use the ram-air effect to give positive pressure ...
