Abstract: The present disclosure relates to techniques for obtaining a synthetic immunohistochemistry (IHC) image from a histochemically stained image. Particularly, aspects of the present disclosure are directed to accessing an input image that depicts a tissue section that has been stained with at least one histochemical stain; generating a synthetic image by processing the input image using a trained generator network; and outputting the synthetic image. The synthetic image depicts a tissue section that has been stained with at least one IHC stain that targets a first antigen, and techniques may also include receiving an input that is based on a level of expression of a first antigen from the synthetic image and/or generating, from the synthetic image, a value that is based on a level of expression of the first antigen.

Abstract: The invention provides solutions for generating, provisioning or transferring non-fungible tokens through a stored value token that has an associated stored value, and that additionally has an associated entitlement to a non-fungible token (which non-fungible token is unrelated to or distinct from the stored value). The invention additionally provides mechanisms wherein the entitlement to a non-fungible token that is associated with a stored value token can be claimed, resulting in a non-fungible token being generated, provisioned or transferred to a beneficiary of the stored value token.

Abstract: Certain embodiments disclosed herein reduce or eliminate a communication bottleneck at the storage manager by reducing communication with the storage manager while maintaining functionality of an information management system. In some implementations, a client obtains information for enabling a secondary storage job (e.g., a backup or restore) from a storage manager and stores the information (which may be referred to as job metadata) in a local cache. The client may then reuse the job metadata for multiple storage jobs reducing the frequency of communication with the storage manager. When a configuration of the information management system changes, or the availability of resources changes, the storage manager can push updates to the job metadata to the clients. Further, a client can periodically request updated job metadata from the storage manager ensuring that the client does not rely on out-of-date job metadata.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing global navigation satellite signals, or radar signals, specifies an arrival time of a signal having a shape similar to a known pseudo-random noise sequence (PRN) of rectangular pulses. Two quadrature signals are generated and six correlations are calculated and multiplied by a correlation coefficient. The results of one of quadrature signals are summed and a timing error is estimated. An improved signal arrival time is generated by adding the estimated timing error to the predicted signal arrival time is generated.
