Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for using machine learning for geographic analysis of access attempts. In an embodiment, a trained machine-learning model classifies source IP addresses of login attempts to a system as either blacklisted or allowed based on a set of aggregated features that correspond to login attempts to the system from the source IP addresses. The set of aggregated features includes, in association with each respective source IP address, a geographical login-attempt failure rate of login attempts to the system from each of one or more geographical areas that each correspond to the respective source IP address. Source IP addresses that are classified by the machine-learning model as blacklisted are added to a system blacklist, such that the system will disallow login attempts from such source IP addresses.

Abstract: The invention relates to an immersion device and a method for detecting a position of an optical cored wire using an immersion device. An immersion device for measuring a temperature of a metal melt inside an electric arc furnace vessel with an optical cored wire comprises a blowing lance for blowing purge gas into an entry point to the vessel and a detecting means for detecting a position of the optical cored wire. The optical cored wire can be moved in a feeding channel and/or in the blowing lance relative to the entry point. The detecting means is configured to detect the presence of the optical cored wire in or close to the blowing lance. This enables short distances between the leading end of the fiber and the melt and, thus, short time intervals between temperature measurement sequences.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a method (100) is described. The method is a computer-implemented method. The method comprises receiving (102) pixel information corresponding to at least part of a first, second and third image, acquired by an imaging system, of a subject illuminated by temporally modulated illumination. A time delay between an acquisition start time of the first, second and third images is such that there is an overlap in time during acquisition of the first, second and third images. The method further comprises determining (104) modified pixel information for constructing a modified image of the subject. The modified pixel information is determined based on: a difference between the received pixel information of the first, second and third images to reduce an effect of ambient lighting in the received pixel information; and a combination of the received pixel information to cancel out a spatial intensity modulation pattern apparent in each of the first, second and third images.

The first part further includes guiding elements configured to receive reference pins and guide placement of the reference pins in the anatomy of the patient. Certain aspects further provide a second part, separate from the first part. The second part includes apertures. Each aperture is configured to receive a reference pin and substantially restrict movement of the second part with respect to the anatomy of the patient. The second part further includes a functional element for guiding a procedure on the anatomy of the patient.

Abstract: Systems and methods are for managing resources across a global and/or cloud network. In particular, systems and methods are described for mitigating issues related to providing services using unstable resources (e.g., resources that may be off-line or potentially go off-line). For example, the systems and methods may mitigate issues related to providing services despite instability in resources by monitoring tokenized availability of a given resource using a decentralized blockchain network and performing actions based on that availability based on conditions specified within the code of action-specific self-executing programs themselves (as opposed to a centralized coordination device).
