Abstract: A method comprises receiving a request to display a first digital image on a user device associated with a user. The first digital image is representative of a first side of a physical check, and the physical check has sensitive information in a field. Sensitive information is deleted from the first digital image so that the sensitive information is unrecoverable and unretrievable from the first digital image. After deleting the sensitive information from the first digital image, the first digital image is displayed on the user device. In response to determining that the user has failed to pass interdiction, an interdiction factor is received. In response to the interdiction factor matching a stored interdiction factor, the user is passed from interdiction. After passing the user from interdiction, a second digital image is displayed on the user device and the field is then unmasked.

Abstract: Systems and methods for improving the efficiency and accuracy of network operation validation anomaly detection in conglomerate-application-based ecosystems are disclosed. The disclosed anomaly evaluation platform can provide a first network operation to a first software application for generation of a second network operation, as in a flow-based processing system. The platform can generate a communication map that characterizes the architecture and/or performance of the system. In response to providing the communication map and the network operations to a validation model, the anomaly evaluation platform can determine a validation status and execute a corrective action to cure detected anomalies preventing validation of the network operation. As such, the anomaly evaluation platform enables dynamic monitoring, evaluation, and mitigation of detected anomalies in real-time and in a performance-dependent manner.

Abstract: An ultrasound system produces maps of acoustic attenuation coefficients from B mode image signals. A plurality of maps located in different parallel and elevationally separated planes (A, B, C, D, E) are produced, then compounded in the elevation direction. Confidence maps may also be produced for one or more attenuation coefficient maps, and the confidence map displayed or its measures used to determine weighting for the compounding process. The compounding of elevationally separate planes improves attenuation coefficient estimation in the presence of blood vessels affecting the estimates in one or more of the planes.

Abstract: An audio apparatus for generating a diffuse reverberation signal comprises a receiver (501) receiving audio signals representing sound sources and metadata comprising a diffuse reverberation signal to total source relationship indicative of a level of diffuse reverberation sound relative to total emitted sound in the environment. The metadata also for each audio signal comprises a signal level indication and a directivity data indicative of directivity of sound radiation from the sound source represented by the audio signal.

A downmixer (509) generates a downmix signal by combining signal components for each audio signal generated by applying the downmix coefficient for each audio signal to the audio signal.
