Abstract: A client computing device includes an entropy driver and a volume driver for protecting the client computing device against potential ransomware. The entropy driver is configured to determine one or more entropy values for a file in response to a determination that the file has been modified or changed. The determined entropy value may then be compared with a known entropy value for a filetype of the changed or modified file. Where the known entropy value and the determined entropy value differ, the volume driver may engage one or more protection operations to secure the client computing device from further corruption and/or modifications by potential ransomware and/or malware. The protection operations may include revoking and/or restricting one or more permissions on one or more storage volumes of the client computing device and backing up one or more files of the client computing device to secondary storage.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for detecting leakage currents in radio-frequency (RF) ablation systems. An RF generator may be configured to disable an electrical return path from a patient to a ground terminal. The RF generator may also be configured to apply an electrical signal to an electrode that is positioned to be in proximity to target tissue of the patient. The RF generator may be further configured to measure a leakage impedance while the electrical return path is disabled and the electrical signal is applied to the electrode. The RF generator may also be configured to control RF ablation therapy based, at least in part, on the measured leakage impedance. Other features are also claimed and described.

Abstract: Embodiments protect computer applications from memory deserialization attacks. An example embodiment receives a data object at a server hosting a software application. In turn, an aspect of the received data object is compared with a representation of an expected data object. If the comparison identifies a difference between the aspect of the received data object and the representation of the expected data object, a protection action is executed to limit a property of the received data object, thus protecting the software application from a memory deserialization attack.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for automatic signal detection in an RF environment are disclosed. A sensor device in a nodal network comprises at least one RF receiver, a generator engine, and an analyzer engine.

The analyzer engine creates a baseline based on statistical calculations of the power levels measured in the RF environment for a predetermined period of time, and identifies at least one signal based on the first derivative and the second derivative of the FFT data in at least one conflict situation from comparing live power distribution to the baseline of the RF environment.

Abstract: A system for providing granular location information for User Equipment (UE) in an Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) that generates and transmits a Location Report without receiving a Location Reporting Control message. When UE moves either, between sectors or bands of a cell site or the UE is handed over to another cell site, a Location Update message is generated by the cell site responsible for the UE and is transmitted to a controlling Distributed Unit (DU) and onward to a controlling Central Unit (CU). The information is further transmitted to Core equipment that may include Mobility Management Entity/Access and Mobility Management Function (MME/AMF) and Lawful Interception Management System (LIMS) allowing for high granularity for location identification of UE in an O-RAN system.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to providing protection groups and rapid determination of expired objects and associated storage resources in a cloud-based backup storage context. In various embodiments, the disclosed techniques include generating, by a computing system, incremental backup data for a backup based on protection group information, including a set of cloud-based key-value data store buckets, filter information, and policy information. Disclosed techniques also include rapid determination of expired objects and associated storage resources. Disclosed techniques may advantageously provide a centralized view across buckets, accounts, and regions and allow users to target specific subsets of their data stores for backup, which may improve performance and reduce backup storage costs, relative to traditional techniques.

Abstract: The present inventors devised a holistic approach for protecting serverless applications in single-cloud, multi-zone, multi-cloud, and/or non-cloud data center computing environments. An illustrative data storage management system discovers application assets, relationships, and interoperability dependencies and creates an “application entity” that references the various assets. Protection preferences apply to the application entity as a whole. An orchestration function in the system coordinates storage management operations (e.g., backup, replication, live synchronization, etc.) in a suitable order of operations gleaned from asset dependencies, if any. A set of copies of the application's discovered assets are generated in coordinated fashion and represent a point-in-time copy of the application. The point-in-time copy can be restored and/or migrated to other computing services by the data storage management system.

Abstract: Scoring functions for predicting response of a dMMR and/or MSI-H colorectal tumor to a PD-1 axis-directed therapy are disclosed, as well as methods and systems for evaluating tissue samples for the presence of feature metrics useful in computing such scoring functions. The scoring functions integrate one or more spatial relationships between cell types into a numerical indication of the likelihood that the tumor will respond to the PD-1 axis-directed therapy. Based on the output of the scoring function, a subject may then be selected to receive a PD-1 axis-directed therapy (if the scoring function indicates a sufficient likelihood of positive response) or an alternative therapy (if the scoring function indicates an insufficient likelihood of positive response).

Abstract: Air flows across an air-liquid interface such that liquid desiccant flowing through the interface absorbs water from the air and is thereby diluted to form an output stream. The output stream is circulated through an electrodialytic stack having a central ionic exchange membrane and first and second outer ionic exchange membranes. A redox shuttle loop circulates around the first and second outer ionic exchange membranes. A voltage is applied across the electrodialytic stack, which regenerates the liquid desiccant.
