Abstract: A system for providing contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) images is described. The CEUS system includes an ultrasound probe adapted to provide the ultrasound images; a processor configured to determine out-of-plane frames of the ultrasound images, and remove the out-of-plane frames from the ultrasound images based on a criterion to provide an optimized set of frames; and a display in communication with the processor and configured to display the optimized set of frames.

Abstract: In an approach to improve workload orchestration in a multi-cloud environment, embodiments orchestrate and manage a workload in a decentralized multi-cloud environment using one or more smart contracts. Additionally, embodiments measure, by a competency measurement component, competency of cloud services based on one or more predefined cloud benchmarks, a consensus network, and the one or more smart contracts, and generate an orchestration plan that is a best fit for the workload. Furthermore, embodiments validate and update, by the consensus network and the one or more smart contracts, the generated orchestration plan, and executing the generated orchestration plan.

Abstract: Executing serverless application functions is provided. A response to a user request for a service is received with an include callback parameter and a transaction identifier of the user request included in a header of the response from an external service via a network. A checkpoint of a container corresponding to the service is retrieved from a data store using the transaction identifier of the user request. The container corresponding to the service is restored using the checkpoint to process the response received from the external service.

Abstract: In an approach to intelligent scaling in a cloud platform, an attribute template is stored for one or more target services based on one or more system data. One or more request metrics for each target service is stored, wherein the request metrics are based on an analysis of one or more incoming requests of one or more service call chains. Responsive to receiving a request for a target service in a service call chain, the target service is scaled based on the attribute template of the target service and the request metrics of the target service.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a glutinous millet nutrition milk taking glutinous millet as raw material, and preparation process thereof, and particularly relates to a glutinous millet nutrition milk or compound glutinous millet nutrition milk taking the rust-proofing and glutinous foxtail millet variety of “Ji Chuang 1” glutinous millet as raw material and preparation process thereof. The glutinous millet nutrition milk or compound glutinous millet nutrition milk prepared by the method has the characteristics that the emulsion is stable, it will neither become aged nor coagulate or precipitate after long-term storage, and it does not need to add any anticoagulant stabilizer, which is more environmental friendly and healthy; its products utilize the rich nutrition of the millet, digests and absorbs easily, and tastes delicately.
