What is the MIPS technology?
MIPS stands for Multi-directional Impact Protection System, which is a leading slip-plane technology inside the helmet designed to reduce rotational forces that can result from certain impacts. MIPS uses a slip-plane system that moves inside the helmet, mimicking the brain’s own protection system.
What is MIPS and how does it work?
In short, MIPS works by using a moving layer to prevent rotational impacts from passing onto your brain. Between your skull and your brain is a layer of cerebrospinal fluid, which allows your brain to slide inside your head, protecting it from rotational forces caused by oblique impacts.
Is MIPS better than WaveCel?
According to a study at the Legacy Research Institute in Portland, Oregon, WaveCel is significantly more effective than MIPS in reducing both linear impact forces and rational forces on the brain.
What is MIPS brain protection?
MIPS is a brain protection system. engineered to add 10% extra safety to the standard construction of helmets in case of certain impacts. The MIPS Brain Protection System (BPS) is attached inside the helmet, between the comfort padding and the EPS.
How do MIPS helmets work?
MIPS technology mimics the brain’s protective structure by reducing rotational forces caused by angled impacts to the head. The helmet’s shell and liner are separated by a low friction layer which allows the helmet to slide, noticeably reducing trauma to the brain in the case of oblique impacts.
Are MIPS helmets good?
All we know is a MIPS equipped helmet is at least 10% better at handling rotational impact than the non-MIPS verision. That’s all MIPS will say. Some helmets are inherently better at dissipating rotational impacts than others, even before the MIPS liner.
What is WaveCel technology?
WaveCel is a revolutionary, Bontrager-exclusive helmet technology that has been shown in a recent study to be 5x more effective than traditional foam helmets in protecting your head from injuries caused by certain cycling accidents.* *Based on reduction in rotational acceleration at impact.
How long do MIPS helmets last?
The Consumer Product Safety Commission, for example, advises that unless manufacturers recommend otherwise, you should get a new helmet every five to 10 years.
Does MIP go away?
Depending on your down payment, and when you first took out the loan, FHA MIP usually lasts 11 years or the life of the loan. MIP will not fall off automatically. To remove it, you’ll have to refinance into a conventional loan once you have enough equity.
What is the -fstack-protector option?
In addition to the protections offered by -fstack-protector, the new option will guard any function that declares any type or length of local array, even those in structs or unions. It will also protect functions that use a local variable’s address in a function argument or on the right-hand side of an assignment.
What is a stack protector?
The stack protector is code that is generated by the compiler and placed into your program. It’s not an external program or system call that is called by your program.
Is stack protection a panacea for security woes?
While stack protection certainly isn’t a panacea for security woes, it will catch a significant portion of real-world attacks. Having an option that strikes a balance between the ultra-paranoid “all” and the regular variant (not to mention the wide-open “none” option) is likely to catch more bugs—and attack vectors.
What is the current version of GCC with Stack protection?
It has made its way into GCC 4.9 (expected later this year) and the upcoming 3.14 kernel has support for building with that option. The basic idea behind stack protection is to push a ” canary ” (a randomly chosen integer) on the stack just after the function return pointer has been pushed.
