  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MULTI-LABEL CANCER CLASSIFICATION
    Publication number: 20210142904
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining a cancer type of a somatic tissue in a subject. A first plurality of sequence reads is obtained from a plurality of RNA molecules in a biopsy of the subject. A first set of sequence features comprising relative miRNA abundance values of genes is determined from the first plurality of sequence reads. Sequence features are applied to a classification model trained to distinguish between each cancer type in a set of at least 50 cancer types, thus determining the cancer type of the somatic tissue in the subject. The classification model provides an indication that the somatic tissue is or is not a respective cancer type, and the set of cancer types includes at least two cancer types from one or more classes of cancer selected from the group consisting of hematological cancers, squamous cancers, endometrial cancers, sarcoma cancers, and neuroendocrine cancers.

  • LARGE AREA SCINTILLATOR PANELS WITH DOPING
    Publication number: 20210139773
    Abstract: A method of making a scintillator material includes forming a dried ceramic composition into a ceramic body with a garnet crystal formula (Gd3-x-zYx)Cez(Ga5-yAly)O12, where x is about 0 to about 2, y is about 0 to about 5, and z is about 0.001 to about 1.0. The ceramic body is sintered to form a sintered ceramic body. The sintered ceramic body is surrounded by a powder mixture that includes a garnet powder. The density of the sintered ceramic body is increased by applying an increased temperature and isostatic pressure to form the scintillator material.

  • Privacy protection for proxy auto-configuration files
    Patent number: 11005926
    Abstract: A method may include generating a proxy auto-configuration file including a function and a hash value associated with a resource. The hash value may be determined based on an identifier of the resource. The proxy auto-configuration file may include the hash value instead of a plaintext value of the identifier to obscure the plaintext value of the identifier. The proxy auto-configuration file including the function and the hash value may be sent to at least enable the function to be invoked by a web browser at one or more clients. The function may be configured to respond to being invoked by the web browser by determining, based on the hash value, whether to bypass a proxy server when accessing the resource. Related systems and computer program products are also provided.
