Abstract: A sodium-sulfur battery is used for a longer period than a lifetime thereof. The sodium-sulfur battery includes a negative electrode active material and a positive electrode active material. The negative electrode active material includes sodium. The positive electrode active material includes sulfur and sodium polysulfide. An apparatus for controlling the sodium-sulfur battery includes a charge and discharge controller and a temperature controller. The charge and discharge controller controls charge and discharge of the sodium-sulfur battery. The temperature controller maintains the sodium-sulfur battery at a first temperature at which sodium, sulfur, and sodium polysulfide are liquefied in an operation period during which the charge and discharge controller causes the sodium-sulfur battery to be charged and discharged, and maintains the sodium-sulfur battery at a second temperature at which sodium and sulfur are liquefied and sodium polysulfide is solidified in a non-operation period during which the charge and discharge controller causes the sodium-sulfur battery not to be charged and discharged.

Title: System and method for leak prevention for domain name system requests
Inventor: BARNETT JONATHAN ALEXANDER THOROLD
IPC: G06F21/60
Filed: 2021-06-10
Abstract: Embodiments of systems and methods for DNS leak prevention and protection are disclosed herein. In particular, certain embodiments include a local DNS protection agent installed on a system and an associated trusted external DNS protection server. The DNS protection agent prevents DNS leaks from applications on the system such that all DNS requests from the system are confined to requests from the DNS protection agent to the associated DNS protection server. As the DNS leak prevention provided by the DNS protection agent stops applications on the system from circumventing the DNS protection server, all DNS requests originating from the system remain under the control of the DNS protection server and thus desired DNS protection (e.g., as implemented on the DNS protection server) may be maintained. Certain embodiments prevent applications from using certain DNS security protocols, such as DoH and DoT, without going through the DNS protection agent.
