Abstract: A method comprises inputting a treatment planning image of a target subject into a machine learning system. The method further comprises determining, by the machine learning system, a first target-subject-specific model of the treatment planning image. The method further comprises applying, by a processing device, the first target-subject-specific model to the treatment planning image to generate a transformed treatment planning image corresponding to a first position of a plurality of positions of the target subject. The method further comprises comparing the transformed treatment planning image to a reference image. The method further comprises, based on the comparing, modifying one or more parameters of the first target-subject-specific model to generate a second target-subject-specific model corresponding to a second position of the plurality of positions.

Abstract: A quantum sensor including a training agent and a target quantum system is described. The target quantum system includes quantum state carriers that are capable of being mutually entangled.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for wireless data protection utilizing cryptographic key management on a primary device and a backup device. A system encrypts a file with a file key and encrypts the file key twice, resulting in two encrypted file keys. The system encrypts each file key differently and stores a first file key on the primary device and transmits one of the encrypted file keys in addition to the encrypted file to a backup device for storage. On the backup device, the system associates the encrypted file key with a set of backup keys protected by a user password. In one embodiment, the system generates an initialization vector for use in cryptographic operations based on a file key. In another embodiment, the system manages cryptographic keys on a backup device during a user password change.

Abstract: A method to enhance collaboration by enabling users of a content-sharing platform to identify media items to credit the entities that contributed to the media item. Such a method includes receiving a request for a media item and obtaining credit data associated with the media item. The method further includes providing for presentation the media item and a list of entities contributing to the media item as defined by the credit data and when receiving the request pertaining to an entity from the list, providing for presentation a list of media items that the entity has contributed to.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses that maintain an access history of a file allocated with allocation blocks in storage devices are described. In response to receiving a usage request to allocate additional space for the file, an allocation block size may be adjusted or adapted based on the access history. The storage devices may be allocated with one or more allocation blocks using the adapted allocation block size to provide requested space for the file.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for secure relocation of encrypted files for a system having non-volatile memory (“NVM”). A system can include an encryption module that is configured to use a temporary encryption seed (e.g., a randomly generated key and a corresponding initialization vector) to decrypt and encrypt data files in an NVM. These data files may have originally been encrypted with different encryption seeds. Using such an approach, data files can be securely relocated even if the system does not have access to the original encryption seeds. In addition, the temporary encryption seed allows the system to bypass a default key scheme.
