Abstract: A system and method for anomaly interpretation and mitigation. A method includes extracting at least one input feature vector from observation data related to an observation; applying an isolation forest to the at least one input feature vector, wherein the isolation forest includes a plurality of estimators, wherein each estimator is a decision tree, wherein the output of each estimator is a split-path of a plurality of split-paths, each split-path having a path-length and including name and a corresponding value for a respective output feature of a plurality of output features; generating a mapping object based on the application of the isolation forest to the at least one feature vector, wherein the mapping object includes the plurality of split-paths; clipping the mapping object based on the path-length of each split-path; and determining at least one mitigation action based on the clipped mapping object.

Abstract: A tissue anchor includes a tissue-engaging element, a head, and a protrusion. The tissue-engaging element has a sharpened distal tip, and is configured to be driven into tissue of a subject. The head is coupled to a proximal end of the tissue-engaging element, and includes a driver interface that is configured to be reversibly engaged by an anchor driver. The protrusion protrudes away from the head such that driving the tissue-engaging element into the tissue presses the protrusion against the tissue, and is configured to move with respect to the head automatically in response to being pressed against the tissue. Other embodiments are also described.

Abstract: A system and method for anomaly detection. A method includes recursively partitioning a sample of device activity data including deterministic characteristics of a population of devices over iterations in order to create partitions. Each iteration includes determining a split density metric for a candidate subpopulation created by splitting a portion of the population with respect to a corresponding type of deterministic characteristic. The split density metric for the candidate subpopulation is determined based on a density value of the candidate subpopulation and a coverage value of the corresponding type of deterministic characteristic. The partitions include each candidate subpopulation meeting a split density metric threshold. A baseline for each of the partitions is established based on device activity for devices represented in device activity data of the partition. An anomaly is detected based on behavior of a device and the baseline established for a partition corresponding to the device.

Abstract: A method for cell-free protein synthesis, the method comprising synthesizing RNA or a protein of interest in a reaction mixture comprising: a template DNA encoding the RNA or protein of interest; and a biological extract of a protease-deficient bacterial cell that has been genetically modified to express a heterologous RNA polymerase, the extract further comprising components necessary for transcription and translation of the protein. Also provided are a method for producing a reaction mixture for cell-free protein synthesis and kits for executing these methods.

Abstract: Fruit juices, purees, and other food products are provided for the healthy-product market. A part of the available sugars in the fruit products is converted to non digestible polymers, thereby lowering the energetic content and simultaneously increasing the nutritional value by forming prebiotic components in the product stables in juices. Further provided is a method of manufacturing juices and purees, enabling to preserve all components but sugars naturally occurring in the fruit.
