Abstract: A computerized system for monitoring cancer therapy and a related method. The system comprises an input port (IN) for receiving two or more input images acquired of a subject, the two or more input images capable of recording metabolic activity and extracellular pH level. An evaluator (EVAL) of the system is configured to assess, based on the input images, i) a change over time in metabolic activity and ii) a change over time in extracellular pH level. The evaluator (EVAL) is further configured to establish, based on the assessment, an indication on whether or not there is a response to a cancer therapy in relation to a lesion of the subject or on whether the assessment is inconclusive. The indication is output through an output interface (OUT).

Abstract: A method configures a memory for use in executing an application. The configurating the memory includes defining a set of virtual memory resources associated with one or more contiguous memory areas of the memory. Contiguous virtual memory resources of the set of virtual memory resources are selectively merged based on respective security attributes of the virtual memory resources of the set of virtual memory resources, generating a merged set of virtual memory resources. A security attribute assigned to a virtual memory resource indicates the virtual memory resource is a secure memory resource, a non-secure memory resource, or a non-secure callable memory resource.

Abstract: Distributed firewalls reside at different points across a network. Each distributed firewall can include one or more rules that govern traffic over and/or access to the network. The rules can be discovered, converted into a standardized format, and indexed at a centralized rule database. The rules or data of the rules can be verified. The rules can be certified at the centralized database. The certification process can be based on a direction of traffic to which the rule governs. The certification process may have different levels based on the direction of traffic.
