  • Patent number: 9507886
    Abstract: A novel and powerful fluence and beam orientation optimization package for radiotherapy optimization, called PARETO (Pareto-Aware Radiotherapy Evolutionary Treatment Optimization), makes use of a multi-objective genetic algorithm capable of optimizing several objective functions simultaneously and mapping the structure of their trade-off surface efficiently and in detail. PARETO generates a database of Pareto non-dominated solutions and allows the graphical exploration of trade-offs between multiple planning objectives during IMRT treatment planning PARETO offers automated and truly multi-objective treatment plan optimization, which does not require any objective weights to be chosen, and therefore finds a large sample of optimized solutions defining a trade-off surface, which represents the range of compromises that are possible.

  • Publication number: 20140095427
    Abstract: Search query analytic reports may assist a website operator in understanding web traffic patterns in relation to the website. A search query analytic report may be generated by receiving web search data for a website from multiple data sources and assigning the web search data into multiple website-specific categories of the website. The web search data is then analyzed based on the website-specific categories to generate the search query analytic report. Server status reports may provide details on errors in the indexing of web pages stored on a server that hosts a website. A server status report may be generated by analyzing the server log data to determine web page indexing behaviors of the one or more web crawlers with respect to the web pages stored on the server.
