Abstract: The embodiments disclosed herein are related to a computing system for generating a mask-augmented inverted index. The mask-augmented inverted index is structured to allow phrase query searching while minimizing the amount of computing system processing and memory resources needed to generate the mask-augmented inverted index. In one embodiment, a first token is mapped to a first listing of documents that include the first token. A first mask is included that comprises a probabilistic representation of a set of integers corresponding to one or more locations of the first token in each of the individual documents of the first listing. A second mask is included that comprises a probabilistic representation of a set of integers that indicate a positional relationship between the first token and one or more other tokens in each of the individual documents of the first listing.

Abstract: A secure data fabric (SDF) can include a security platform for sharing data, access and discovery of data, and audit traceability, across disparate data stores and networks. A SDF can leverage blockchain with attribute-based access control (ABAC). A SDF platform can include an immutable data storage medium, a data sharing node, a central processing unit, and memory having software, which can be configured to implement a blockchain and an ABAC module. The immutable data storage medium can be part of a network. The immutable data storage medium can be immutable off-chain data storage for the SDF, and a multi-layered ABAC security policy can be implemented for the SDF. The SDF can have a cross-domain topology model. A multi-party workflow for account keys and digital signatures management can be further implemented. A microservices-based access control module can be configured to dynamically evaluate digital security policies for a secure data fabric.

Abstract: Provided are methods and computer program products for monitoring the contents of network traffic in a network device and performing correlation analysis of collected performance metrics to help identify reasons for network performance issues. Methods for correlation analysis include selecting scope and network metric types to include in the correlation analysis to generate an educated candidate set for correlation analysis. The correlation analysis methods result in a hypothesis set that assist the operator in identifying transactions and infrastructure problems resulting in network performance degradation.

Abstract: Provided are methods and computer program products for analyzing and tracing the contents of network traffic in a network device and to help identify network performance issues. Methods for analyzing traffic include identifying thread identifiers associated with transactions, determining related events, and associating similar transactions and events into an aggregated list of transactions. Methods of tracing transactions include identifying thread identifiers associated with transactions and related events and serializing events into a serialized list of events to facilitate tracing single transactions.

Abstract: A medical imaging data processing apparatus for identifying an interface between anatomical features comprises a receiving unit configured to receive first medical imaging data that represents a region of a subject at a first time, and second medical imaging data that represents the region of the subject at a second, later time, a registration unit configured to perform a registration procedure to obtain registration data representative of a registration between the first medical imaging data and the second medical imaging data, and an interface identification unit configured to determine a variation of the registration data with location and to identify an interface between an anatomical feature and at least one further anatomical feature based on said variation of the registration data with location.

Abstract: Provided are methods and computer program products for analyzing transactions across a network and to help identify network performance issues. Methods for analyzing traffic include identifying an outbound transaction and a related transaction type, and identifying candidate inbound transactions that have the same transaction type as the transaction type of the outbound transaction. One or more transaction data parameters may be selected that correspond to the outbound or inbound transactions. Candidate transactions may be determined to be related to the outbound transaction based on one or more transaction data parameters.

Abstract: Shock absorbers for integration into protective structures generally take the form of hollow, compressible cells. The cell enclosure may be configured to provide for two or more compression stages. For example, in various embodiments, the cell enclosure includes one or more corrugations descending from the top wall, which, upon contact with the bottom wall, contribute to impact absorption.

Abstract: A lacrosse stick including a lacrosse head attached to a handle, wherein the lacrosse head has a taller, or thicker, ball stop, wherein a portion of the ball stop portion is lowered with respect to the immediately adjacent portions of the sidewall portions relative to a centerline of the handle. The net securing structures in the ball stop are preferably located in the lowered portion and therein provides increased ball retention characteristics. The lower portion of the ball stop portion includes a concave inner surface that is preferably flared, or sloped, slightly outwardly along its interior surface from its front side to its back side. The openings for attaching the netting in the ball stop are preferably slightly recessed with respect to the upper surface.
