Abstract: According to one embodiment, virtual machine attributes are verified. Information (142) about attributes for a virtual machine (152) is obtained (320) from a host machine (120) that the virtual machine (152) executes on. Actual virtual machine attributes (162) are obtained 330 from the virtual machine (152). Discrepancies between the information (142) about the attributes and the actual virtual machine attributes (162) are determined (340) by comparing the information (142) about the attributes to the actual virtual machine attributes (162).

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a method and an apparatus for automatic verification of a machine-readable map of networked devices. In one method embodiment, the present invention accesses a machine-readable map. Additionally, validation rules are accessed in a machine-readable format. A validation step is performed, wherein the validation step comprises comparing the validation rules in machine-readable format with the machine-readable map. A report of a result of the validation step is then generated. In so doing, a verification of a machine-readable map of networked devices occurs automatically.

Abstract: Radiation therapy of a lesion within a patient is guided to take into account movement of the lesion caused by respiration and/or cardiac effects by using MRI to image the patient while on the treatment support to obtain a series of images of a location of the lesion within the patient while obtaining data relating to respiration and/or cardiac function of the patient to generate lesion movement data as a function of respiration and/or cardiac function. After the magnet is removed from the bunker, during the radiation therapy, real time data relating to respiration and/or cardiac function of the patient is used to guide the radiation therapy using the lesion movement data obtained during the imaging.

Abstract: A patient imaging system includes a patient support table, an MRI system including a cylindrical magnet and a PET system including positron detectors mounted in a ring. The magnet defines a cylindrical bore for receiving the patient on the table where the magnet is mounted for rotation about a vertical axis on a slew ring carried on rails allowing longitudinal movement. The PET ring is mounted in the bore for longitudinal movement. The quench tube for the magnet passes through the slew ring with a rotary union at the axis. The shielding covers include a fixed upper part and a lower part which rotates about the axis with the magnet. The magnet is arranged in a two or three room diagnostic configuration in which a holding bay houses the magnet and the diagnostic patients are organized in the three rooms each cooperating with the magnet bay as the magnet is rotated.

Abstract: The invention provides methods and diagnostic test kits for detecting target nucleic acid sequence variations in a sample. In particular, a plurality of oligonucleotide probe sets is provided. Each set has a target specific portion and a barcode. The target specific portions of the probes are suitable for ligation together when hybridized adjacent to one another on a corresponding target polynucleotide. The ligated product contains a barcode that binds to a probe attached to a substrate and hence facilitate the capture of the ligated product on the solid support. Detection is carried out with a gold nanoparticle-attached barcode that hybridizes with the barcode on the ligated product.
