In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include: a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor, where the memory includes program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause a control plane of the IHS to: establish a trust relationship with a requesting entity based, at least in part, on a received anonymous token of a distributed anonymous token set package; receive a second request from the requesting entity; and subsequent to the second request, determine to revoke the trust relationship with the requesting entity.

Abstract: An MRI image processing and analysis system may identify instances of structure in MRI flow data, e.g., coherency, derive contours and/or clinical markers based on the identified structures. The system may be remotely located from one or more MRI acquisition systems, and perform: error detection and/or correction on MRI data sets; segmentation; visualization of flow superimposed on anatomical structure, quantification; verification; and/or generation of patient specific 4-D flow protocols. A protected health information (PHI) service is provided which de-identifies medical study data and allows medical providers to control PHI data, and uploads the de-identified data to an analytics service provider (ASP) system. A web application is provided which merges the PHI data with the de-identified data while keeping control of the PHI data with the medical provider.

Abstract: A system operable via communications over a digital data network. The system includes a user computer communicatively connected to the digital data network. The user computer includes a processor, memory, and an input device. The system also includes an app program of the user computer stored in the memory for controlling the processor, a server computer communicatively connected to the digital data network, and a database of real property identities and weightage values communicatively connected to the server computer. The app program receives an input and communicates the input to the server computer, the server computer searches the database and calculates a respective score for each of the real property identities corresponding to the input, sends to the computer the real property identities and each of the respective score. The weightage values may but need not necessarily relate to personality types of dominant, compliant, influencing and steady.

The data center monitoring and management operation includes: submitting a request for a workload instance to a cloud service provider; establishing a secure communication channel between the cloud service provider and a data center monitoring and management console; exchanging information between the cloud service provider and the data center monitoring and management console via the secure communication channel, the information including a verifiable workload instance identity; and, using the verifiable workload instance identity to authenticate a workload instance provided by the cloud service provider.

Abstract: A system can receive an untrusted onboard announcement message from a remote computer, wherein the untrusted onboard announcement message comprises first data that identifies the remote computer and second data that indicates a current configuration of the remote computer. The system can identify a stored indication of an authorized configuration of the remote computer based on the data that identifies the remote computer. The system can determine that there is a mismatch between the authorized configuration of the remote computer and the current configuration of the remote computer. The system can determine a trust metrics evaluation score for the remote computer based on a type of hardware component change between the authorized configuration of the remote computer and the current configuration of the remote computer. The system can, in response to determining that the trust metrics evaluation score is greater than a threshold value, onboard the remote computer.

Abstract: Architectures and techniques are described that can provide decentralized, zero-trust authorization according to variable fine-grained policies For example, an authorization server can receive an authorization request from a requesting device. The authorization request can comprise a reference address to a resource, in which case resource data can be fetched, or comprise a signed entity indicative of the resource. In either case, resource data used to evaluate a policy can be obtained and, if an associated policy evaluation is authorized, the authorization request can be validated and an associated token can be provided to the requesting device, which can then be transmitted along with an API call to a service through which a resource is provided.

Abstract: Examples of methods for object group packings are described herein. In some examples, a method includes ordering objects of a chromosome into a first group and a second group in accordance with a first priority and a second priority. In some examples, the method includes determining, using a genetic procedure in accordance with the first priority and the second priority, a first arrangement within the first group and a second arrangement within the second group to produce a packing in a volume.

Abstract: Examples of methods for object packings are described herein. In some examples, a method includes generating chromosomes in a genetic procedure. In some examples, each chromosome indicates a packing of objects in a volume. In some examples, the method also includes determining uniformity scores corresponding to the chromosomes. In some examples, each uniformity score is based on object orientation similarity. In some examples, the method further includes selecting a chromosome based on the uniformity scores.
