  • Patent number: 11875480
    Abstract: Introduced here are approaches to assessing whether digital features (or simply “features”) detected in digital images by detection models are representative of artifacts that can obscure actual pathologies. A diagnostic platform may characterize each digital feature detected in a digital image based on its likelihood of being an artifact. For instance, a digital feature could be characterized as being representative of an artifact caused by improper illumination, an artifact caused by a physical element that is adhered to the lens through which light is collected by an imaging device, or a pathological feature indicative of a disease.

  • Patent number: 11876716
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems, methods, computer program products, and the like, for controlling a congestion window (CWND) value of a communication session of a CDN. In particular, a content server may analyze a request to determine or receive an indication of the type of content being requested. The content server may then set the initial CWND based on the type of content being requested. For example, the content server may set a relatively high CWND value for requested content that is not particularly large, such as image files or text, so that the data of the content is received at the client device quickly. For larger files or files that a have a determined smaller urgency, the initial CWND may be set at a lower value to ensure that providing the data of the content does not congest the link between the devices.

  • Patent number: 11875342
    Abstract: An attempted transaction is identified involving a customer device and the first customer device is redirected to a security broker. A security report for the first customer device is received from the security broker. The security report is based on security data transmitted from the customer device to the security broker. An action can be performed in association with the attempted transaction based at least in part on the received security report. In some aspects, the security broker receives security data describing security conditions on the customer device in connection with the transaction between the customer device and a transaction partner. A risk tolerance policy is identified that corresponds to the transaction partner, such as an ecommerce provider. A security report is generated based on a comparison of the risk tolerance policy and the security data and the security report.
