Abstract

A system for controlling liquid flow includes a conduit, a field generating element, a flow sensor and control circuitry. The conduit conveys a mixed liquid comprising two or more at least partially miscible component liquids. The field generating element generates an electric field in the mixed liquid in a direction transverse to a flow of the mixed liquid in the conduit. The intensity of the electric field controls a reversible formation of a layer of one of the component liquids along a surface of the conduit. The flow sensor senses the flow rate of the liquid flow in the conduit. The control circuitry controls the field generating element to produce the electric field at an intensity yielding a desired flow rate of the mixed liquid based on flow rate data provided by the flow sensor.

A method for authenticating a device that has a memory unit, the method may include (a) selecting a challenge, by an authenticating device, out of multiple challenges; wherein the multiple challenges (i) differ from each other by one or more challenge parameters, and (ii) are associated with multiple responses that are unique to the device; (b) requesting, by an authenticating device, the device to execute the challenge; wherein an execution of the challenge comprises (i) writing content to the memory unit, (ii) powering off the memory unit during a power off period, (iii) powering the memory unit, and (iv) reading values stored in the memory unit while the memory unit is a transition state; (c) receiving, by the authenticating device, a response to the challenge, wherein the response is indicative of at least some of the values stored in the memory unit; and (d) determining, based on the response and an expected response that is associated with the challenge, whether the authentication succeeded.

Abstract

A method for creating a one-way function from a computation problem instances with a predefined success criteria, based on mutual hiding of the success criteria, comprising the steps of selecting at least a first and a second original computation tasks, each having an original corresponding success criterion; applying a function (such as a bitwise XOR operation) over both original corresponding success criteria, to form a single combined success criterion for a mutual computation task being a combination of the at least a first and a second original computation tasks; outputting the original computation tasks along with the combined success criterion, while excluding the original corresponding success criteria.
