Publication number: 20250005750Abstract: A method for generating at least one transducer location for delivering tumor treating fields to a subject is provided. The method includes obtaining a medical image of a subject, the medical image having a plurality of voxels, the medical image representing a plurality of tissue types of the subject, wherein at least one voxel is associated with each tissue type. The method further includes determining, using a trained machine learning model and the medical image of the subject, conductivities for the tissue types of the subject in the medical image, the trained machine learning model trained with medical images of a plurality of other subjects and resistances obtained from the application of tumor treating fields to the other subjects. The method further includes identifying a location of a tumor in the medical image and generating at least one transducer location for delivering tumor treating fields to the subject.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2024Publication date: January 2, 2025Applicant: Novocure GmbHInventors: Brian BERGER, Nadav SHAPIRA

Publication number: 20160255069Abstract: A system for performing authentication of a first user to a second user includes the ability for the first user to submit multiple instances of authentication data which are evaluated and then used to generate an overall level of confidence in the claimed identity of the first user. The individual authentication instances are evaluated based upon: the degree of match between the user provided by the first user during the authentication and the data provided by the first user during his enrollment; the inherent reliability of the authentication technique being used; the circumstances surrounding the generation of the authentication data by the first user; and the circumstances surrounding the generation of the enrollment data by the first user. This confidence level is compared with a required trust level which is based at least in part upon the requirements of the second user, and the authentication result is based upon this comparison.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2016Publication date: September 1, 2016Inventors: Alexander G.

Publication number: 20160149873Abstract: A method for facilitating an authentication related to an electronic transaction between a first and a second user is provided. Authentication data is received from the first user along with transaction data defining the first user and the electronic transaction to be authenticated. This authentication data is compared to enrollment authentication data associated with the first user in order to verify the identity of the first user. When the user is properly verified, access to at least one private cryptographic key stored on a secure server is available for use in securing the electronic transaction. The particular private cryptographic key need not be released from the secure server. Data indicating the status of the authentication may then be sent to one of either the first or second user.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2015Publication date: May 26, 2016Applicant: Security First CorporationInventors: Alexander G. Dickinson, Mark S. O'Hare, Mark D. Rorhbach, James G. Zoccoli, Rick L. Orsini, Aaron A. Brooks, Roger S. Davenport, Philip W. Clough, Richard F. Clayton, Gregory H.
