Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for confidence mapping of shear wave measurements are disclosed. Confidence maps of shear wave image measurements may be generated from one or more confidence factors. Masking of graphical overlays of tissue stiffness values, based at least in part on the confidence map is disclosed. The confidence map and/or masked graphical overlays of tissue stiffness values may be superimposed on ultrasound images and provided on a display.

Abstract: A method and bed system for controlling a mattress climate-control system based on a thermal event. The bed system includes a mattress, a mattress climate-control system, a mechanical thermal detector, and a controller. The mattress climate-control system controls a climate at the mattress. The mechanical thermal detector is positioned at the mattress. A condition of the mechanical thermal detector changes in response to a thermal event at the mattress. The controller is connected to the mattress climate-control system. The controller perform operations including detecting the condition of the mechanical thermal detector and operating the mattress climate-control system based on the condition of the mechanical thermal detector.

Abstract: A user may obtain self-service financial planning. A comprehensive set of data pertaining to a user is gathered from various sources and analyzed to generate a financial plan. A user may be presented with various financial scenarios based on information provided by the user. The user may perform “what if” analyses to determine prospective financial plans and results based on hypothetical information that the user may provide. A user may be provided with a financial plan and the user may see how the plan changes under various risk tolerances and life event scenarios.

Abstract: Aggregation processes and systems acquire user data from many internal and external sources, such as a host financial institution, external institutions, and publicly available websites and databases. The data aggregation may be used to pre-populate the fields in a questionnaire that would otherwise have to be manually populated by the user. A financial plan based on the data is generated and provided to the user. After presenting the financial plan to the user, additional information may be requested from the user. After the additional information is received, the financial plan may be revised and provided to the user.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method of automatically establishing and electronically funding electronic accounts over a computer network. The present invention provides a series of straight-through processes operable within a client/server environment. The present invention enables the submission of on-line new account information, real-time processing of such account information, and the establishment of validated new electronic accounts for use by potential customers regardless of the availability of host processing systems.

Abstract: This invention relates generally to plant cells and/or plants with increased tolerance to environmental stress and/or increased yield as compared to a corresponding, e.g. non-transformed, wild type plant cell by increasing or generating one or more activities of polypeptides associated with abiotic stress responses and abiotic stress tolerance in plants. In particular, this invention relates to plant cells and/or plants tailored to grow under conditions of environmental stress, and/or to plant cells and/or plant showing increased yield under environmental stress conditions. The invention also deals with methods of producing and screening for and breeding such plant cells and/or plants.

Abstract: A comprehensive set of data pertaining to a user is gathered from various sources and analyzed. A financial plan is generated and provided to the user. The user may set financial goals and monitor progress towards achieving the goals, and may set and monitor probabilities of success of achieving the goals. The financial plan may take into account the financial goals and probabilities of success, and may be revised to reflect changes in the financial goals and probabilities of success. In an implementation, a user may be provided with information pertaining to how their finances, financial plan, goals, and probabilities of success compare to a selected population group.
