Abstract: An input image is divided into segments. The segments may be reassembled to reform the input image. The order of the segments may be stored in an encrypted database for which approved applications have the decryption key but users do not. This allows the approved applications to determine the order and reform the input image without allowing users to do the same. To further increase the difficulty of reforming the input image, the segments may be transformed. Example transformations include rotation and mirroring. The encrypted database may store an indication of the transformation applied to each segment. The effort of reforming the input image without access to the database is increased substantially. The reformed input image may be stored in transient memory only, without being stored to long-term storage. Thus, the reformed image cannot be accessed from a file system by unauthorized users.

Abstract: The invention relates to gathering data about a hydrocarbon well by dropping a ball or dart (1) through the well (21) that emits an acoustic signature and/or senses information about the wellbore, such as deformation or bending. The dart signature and/or sensed data is communicated to the surface via a DAS cable (25) running down the tubing (20). The dart (1) may be made in two detachable modules, the first module (4) containing an acoustic emitter and the second module (6) having a certain drift diameter and being one of a set of interchangeable modules of different drift diameter that may be selected and assembled to the first module (4). The second module or both modules may be dissolvable. The dart (51) may store data as it descends through the tubing (60) and then dock with a docking station (65) that is connected with a TEC line (66) running up the outside of the tubing (60) and download the data via the TEC line (66) up to the surface.

Abstract: Example methods and systems are directed to generating knowledge graph entities from text. Natural language text is received as input and processed using named entity recognition (NER), part of speech (POS) recognition, and business object recognition (BOR). The outputs of the NER, POS, and BOR processes are combined to generate knowledge entity triples comprising two entities and a relationship between them. Keywords are extracted from the text using NER to generate a set of entities. A node in a knowledge graph is created for at least some of the entities. A POS tagger identifies verbs in the text, generating a set of verbs. Relational verbs (e.g., “talk to” or “communicated with”) are detected and used to create edges in the knowledge graph. The knowledge graph may be converted back to natural language text using a trained machine learning model.

Said chemical entities are useful, e.g., for treating a condition, disease or disorder in which increased (e.g., excessive) STING activation (e.g., STING signaling) contributes to the pathology and/or symptoms and/or progression of the condition, disease or disorder (e.g., cancer) in a subject (e.g., a human). This disclosure also features compositions containing the same as well as methods of using and making the same.

Abstract: A method for capturing at least particle compositions (21) in a monitoring region (14) that exhibit a temporally dynamic behaviour with an optical detection apparatus (12), and an optical detection apparatus (12) are described. In the method, during at least one measurement, optical transmission signals (22) are transmitted into the monitoring region (14) and transmission signals (22) that are reflected at particle targets (28) of any particle compositions (21) present in the monitoring region (14) are received as particle reflection signals (30). The presence of dynamic particle compositions (21) is concluded from the particle reflection signals (30). At least two measurements are performed with a temporal distance. A particle target density or a variable characterizing the particle target density is ascertained for at least one partial volume (48) of the monitoring region (14) from the particle reflection signals (30) of each measurement.
