Abstract: Systems and methods for magnetic field-dependent relaxometry using magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”) are provided. Relaxation parameters, including longitudinal relaxation time (“T1”) and transverse relaxation time (“T2”), are estimated from magnetic resonance signal data acquired at multiple different magnetic field strengths using the same MRI system. By measuring these relaxation parameters as a function of magnetic field strength, T1 dispersion data, T2 dispersion data, or both, are generated. Based on this dispersion data, quantitative physiological parameters can be estimated. As one example, iron content can be estimated from T2 dispersion data.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for hardware-accelerating various data processing operations in a rule-based decision-making system such as a business rules engine, an event stream processor, and a complex event stream processor. Preferably, incoming data streams are checked against a plurality of rule conditions. Among the data processing operations that are hardware-accelerated include rule condition check operations, filtering operations, and path merging operations. The rule condition check operations generate rule condition check results for the processed data streams, wherein the rule condition check results are indicative of any rule conditions which have been satisfied by the data streams. The generation of such results with a low degree of latency provides enterprises with the ability to perform timely decision-making based on the data present in received data streams.

Abstract: An object storage system can receive chunks of an object. Each of the chunks includes data that is a subset of the object. Each subset has an arbitrary amount of data and at least two of the subsets include overlapping data. Each of the chunks is associated with a timestamp. Responsive to a request for the object the object storage system can reconstitute the object by including the subset of data from a most recent of the chunks based on the timestamps and including only nonoverlapping data from subsequent chunks in reverse chronological order based on the timestamps until the object is reconstituted. The object storage system can transmit the reconstituted object.
