Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for reconstructing biomedical images. A projection preparer may identify a projection dataset derived from a tomographic biomedical imaging scan. An encoder-decoder model may reconstruct reconstructing tomographic biomedical images from projection data. The encoder-decoder model may include an encoder. The encoder may include a first series of transform layers to generate first feature maps using the projection dataset. The encoder-decoder may include a decoder. The decoder may include a second series of transform layers to generate second features maps using the first feature maps from the encoder. The system may include a reconstruction engine executable on the one or more processors. The reconstruction engine may apply the encoder-decoder model to the projection dataset to generate a reconstructed tomographic biomedical image based on the second feature maps generated by the decoder of the encoder-decoder model.

Abstract: A method for displaying a network map retrieves state information for a plurality of network devices in communication with a network.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media can be operable to facilitate the flexible relative placement of network elements within a spatial representation of network elements within a subscriber premise without requiring exact measurements, a complete floor plan, or exact tracking by a technician. Thus, the methods, systems, and computer readable media described herein provide for a quick generation of a layout without the need to draw detailed floor plans of a premise. An interface showing the layout of network elements within a subscriber premise may include an identification of the quality of wireless performance at each network element. A user may interface with, and monitor the network elements through the user interface displaying the spatial representation of the various network elements.

Abstract: A process for producing pellets or granules comprising fibres of a lignocellulousic material, for use as a feedstock in plastics manufacture, conveying in a dry or wet air stream and applying to the fibres a liquid formulation comprising one or more polymers, monomers, or oligomers, forming the fibres into a solid product, and breaking down the solid product to produce said pellets or granules. Typically the conduit conveys the fibres in a plant for manufacture of fibre board.

Abstract: Systems and methods for evaluating keyword performance include receiving history data indicative of online actions performed regarding one or more advertisements. A set of one or more keywords may be associated with the one or more advertisements. A performance metric for the set of one or more keywords may be determined using the history data, as well as a confidence interval for the performance metric. Confidence intervals for the performance metrics of different sets of keywords may be sorted and provided.
