Abstract: Backup data is leveraged to determine whether primary data has been encrypted by malware. The disclosed approach does not rely on recognizing particular malware instances or malware provenance, and thus can be applied to any body of data. Even a novel and previously unknown malware attack can be detected in this way. An illustrative data storage management system analyzes secondary copies it created over time, applies a multi-factor analysis to data recovered from the secondary copies and, based on the analysis, infers whether the primary data from which the secondary copies were created may be encrypted. The present approach uses successive versions of backup copies to find indicia of malware encryption, rather than trying to trace or identify the malware itself. Indicia of entropy correlate highly with encryption, such as encryption performed by malware attacks. Conversely, indicia of similarity correlate highly with lack of encryption of successive versions of documents.

Abstract: A clipping system includes an adapter configured to be mounted over an insertion device and a clip including first and second jaws movable between an insertion configuration and an initial deployed configuration. A first extending member is releasably coupled to the clip and movably connected to the adapter to permit a movement of the clip relative to the adapter from the insertion configuration to the initial deployed configuration. The first extending member is configured to permit withdrawal of the adapter away from the clip to place the system in a review configuration to enhance a visual observation of the clip. The first extending member is operable to retract the clip over the adapter so that the clip is forced open, freeing the clip from tissue on which it has been clipped. The first extending member is configured to release the clip therefrom in a final deployed configuration.

Abstract: Presented herein are techniques to facilitate the configuration of hybrid cells to support shared cell and unique cell operating modes for user equipment. In one example, a method may include obtaining a registration request for a user equipment (UE) in which the mobile network includes a radio access network (RAN) comprising a plurality of radio units (RUs) in which each RU provides a shared cell that is shared with at least one other RU and each RU also provides a unique cell that is not shared with any other RU. The method may further include determining an operating mode for the UE in which the operating mode indicates whether the UE is to operate in a shared cell or a unique cell operating mode, and facilitating connection of the UE to one of the shared cell or the unique cell of an RU based on the operating mode.

Abstract: A software developer can use a local browser, running on a local machine of the developer in a first location to access a real device (e.g., a smart phone) at a second location, such as a datacenter. The developer can select and control the remote device, in the second location. A mirrored display of the remote device can be generated on the local machine by transmitting a video feed of the screen of the remote device to the local machine. The developer can interact with the mirrored display, and the interactions can be transmitted to the remote device. The developer can activate an accessibility mode via the local machine to test accessibility features of a program.

Abstract: Methods, computer systems, and computer-storage media, and graphical user interfaces are provided for facilitating efficient meeting management, according to embodiments of the present technology. In one embodiment, engagement data associated with an attendee of an online meeting is obtained. Thereafter, an engagement metric is generated using the engagement data, the engagement metric indicating an extent of engagement of the attendee to the online meeting. Based on the engagement metric indicating that the extent of engagement of the attendee to the online meeting falls below an engagement threshold, a request is provided to disconnect or throttle an audio and/or video stream of the online meeting to and/or from an attendee device associated with the attendee of the online meeting. Efficient meeting management may also be performed by clustering related messages.

Abstract: An output stage of an operational amplifier includes a low voltage (LV) metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) device and a dynamic current limit circuit. An output current of the operational amplifier flows through the LV MOS device. The dynamic current limit circuit is configured to sense a drain voltage of the LV MOS device and increase a clamping voltage for the LV MOS device when the drain voltage of the LV MOS device is less than a threshold voltage.

Abstract: The present invention provides an antibody or antigen-binding portion thereof that can bind to properdin (factor P). The antibody of the current invention leads to selective inhibition of alternative complement pathway while allowing the classical and lectin pathways to continue. Further, the antibody of the present invention may have modified or reduced binding to Fc?Rs to minimize its ADCC activity. The present invention provide an antibody that comprises an amino acid sequence to minimise its CDC activity. The antibody according to the present invention has higher FcRn binding affinity and therefore the antibody according to the present invention may have long circulating half-life in the body of the patient and it can be given at a reduced dosing frequency. The antibody according to the present invention can further be used in the preparation of a drug for treating diseases through inhibition of alternative complement pathway.

Abstract: A policy driven zero touch provisioning (ZTP) system implements techniques for policy driven ZTP of network devices. One or more ZTP policies, configurations and/or boot images associated with one or more network devices are stored in a database. Upon execution of a boot sequence, a network device automatically sends a DHCP request including network device identification information to the policy driven ZTP system. The policy driven ZTP system identifies a matching ZTP policy having conditions that match the network device identification information. The ZTP system generates a DHCP response including IP leasing information, a boot configuration information by which a boot configuration may be automatically obtained, and/or boot image information by which a boot image may be automatically obtained as defined by the matching ZTP policy. The techniques allow ZTP policies to be defined with device-level granularity for boot configuration and/or boot images.

Abstract: A system is disclosed for assessing or depicting the degree of bone fusion in an area. The system involves receiving three dimensional image data from a patient of a portion of a patient's body. Using the data, the scanned portion of the patient's body is reconstructed. The system permits a user to select a volume within the reconstructed volume which defines a volume of interest. The density of each voxel is detected within the volume of interest. An analysis is conducted on the voxel densities to determine the amount of fusion that has occurred, the higher the density in a prescribed area the greater the amount of fusion that has occurred. The system generates a depiction of the density.
