Abstract: An ultrasound imaging system may acquire ultrasound data from a heart. The ultrasound data may be analyzed to on-invasively provide a value for cardiac pressure, such as left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP). In some examples, the ultrasound data may be acquired from B-mode images, Doppler images, and/or strain measurements. In some examples, the ultrasound data may be acquired across an entire cardiac cycle of the heart. In some examples, the ultrasound data may include strain measurements and/or volume measurements of the left atrium. In some examples, the ultrasound data may be analyzed by a correlation algorithm, such as a partial least squares model and/or a neural network.

Abstract: A storage node maintains storage objects that contain decoy datasets that are used to detect cyber-attacks. The decoy datasets may be deployed at logical block addresses (LBAs) including the first and last LBAs of the LBA range of the storage object. Real active data may be stored on the storage object with the decoy datasets. A cyber-attack is detected based on receipt of a suspicious IO command that accesses decoy data. Access to the decoy data may be detected by maintaining an IO access bitmap, calculating digital signatures of decoy datasets, or monitoring for decoy data that is marked for remote replication.

Abstract: Cyber intrusion detection (CID) and data protection (DP) are coordinated within a storage node to enable the capabilities of DP to be automatically and quickly utilized in response to detected threats to help protect data. CID sends an alert message to DP in response to detection of a ransomware attack or other threat. DP responds to the alert message by implementing at least one countermeasure, such as: generating new targetless snapshots of the storage objects under attack, the version data group of which the storage objects are members, or all storage objects maintained by the storage array; securing and/or preserving some of the targetless snapshots that existed before the infection; changing the targetless snapshot generation and retention schedule; and temporarily halting generation of new targetless snapshots.

Abstract: Recovery of a primary image is facilitated by using non-consistent snapshots on a primary storage array and consistent snapshots on a secondary storage array to avoid the need to transmit entire secondary replicas from the secondary storage array to the primary storage array. Non-consistent snaps of the primary replicas are generated by the primary storage array. Consistent snaps of the secondary replicas are generated by the secondary storage array. The primary replicas are recovered by linking non-consistent snaps to primary staging volumes, linking consistent snaps to secondary staging volumes, synchronizing the primary and secondary staging volumes, and using the synchronized primary staging volumes to recover the primary replicas.

Abstract: A method for measuring the concentrations of species present at at least one point of a separation unit operating in simulated moving bed (SMB) mode, or a hybrid separation unit employing a step for simulated moving bed (SMB) separation and a step for crystallization, by calibration by inline acquisition of Raman spectra for different mixtures; analysis by inline signal processing of the Raman spectrum.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the control of Ostwald Ripening phenomenon occurring in particle suspensions without the need for addition of stabilizing agents, by using high pressure homogenization at mild conditions in a way that no increase or decrease in particle size occurs, thus allowing the stabilization of the suspension during the isolation step in the form of a dried powder.
