Abstract: Techniques for implementing a last known good (LKG) client-side cache for DNS resiliency are disclosed. A first DNS request is submitted to a DNS server. A first DNS resolution that resolves an IP address for a domain name is received. A service stores the first DNS resolution in an LKG cache residing on the local host. A second DNS request is sent, where the second DNS request again requests to resolve the same domain name. In response to determining that a second DNS resolution for the second DNS request has not been received, the service obtains the IP address for the domain name from the LKG cache.

Abstract: A front-end computing system provides cross machine message forwarding through a kernel mode component. The message is received in a kernel mode queue of the front-end computing system. The message includes one or more headers and an entity body including one or more data blocks. A user mode router in the front-end computing system designates a computing system to process the message based at least in part on the one or more headers. The one or more data blocks are passed through the kernel mode queue in the front-end computing system to the designated computing system without passing the one or more data blocks to the user mode router in the front-end computing system.

Abstract: A computing system delegates a request between a first container in user mode of an operating system on a webserver system and a second container in the user mode of the operating system. The operating system includes a kernel. A service in the second container creates a delegation queue in the kernel of the operating system. The service adds an identifier as a property of the delegation queue in the kernel, wherein the identifier is unique across the first container and the second container. A router executing in the first container opens the delegation queue in the kernel using the identifier, responsive to the adding operation. The request is delegated to the service executing in the second container via the delegation queue in the kernel, responsive to the opening operation.

Abstract: First k-space data are received for a MRI examination of a subject in a first field of view (FOV), and second k-space data are received for a second field of view that is adjacent to or overlaps the first field of view. Alternatively, second k-space data, comprising phase and/or slice oversampling k-space data of the first field of view are retrieved from a non-transitory data storage medium. The first k-space data are reconstructed by using at least a portion of the second k-space data as phase and/or slice oversampling to generate a first extended image of a first extended field of view that encompasses the first field of view and extends into the second field of view. The first extended image is cropped to the first field of view to generate an image of the first field of view for the first MRI examination.

Abstract: A host operating system running on a computing device monitors network communications for the computing device to identify network resources that are requested by the computing device. The host operating system compares requested network resources against security policies to determine if the requested network resources are trusted. When an untrusted network resource is identified, the host operating system accesses the untrusted network resource within a container that is isolated from the host operating system kernel using techniques discussed herein. By restricting access to untrusted network resources to isolated containers, the host operating system is protected from even kernel-level attacks or infections that may result from an untrusted network resource.

Abstract: A guide map is created for use in placing a spectroscopic single voxel in a region of interest in single voxel magnetic resonance spectroscopy. An anatomical planning image of the region of interest is obtained through MRI. As a spectroscopy voxel is stepped across the region of interest, characteristics of the magnetic field used in the MRI are measured at each location of the imaging voxel, and a guide-FWHM map indicative of the homogeneity/inhomogeneity of the magnetic field over the region of interest is derived using the measurements. The guide map is created by overlaying the guide-FWHM map on the anatomical planning image. A spectroscopic single voxel of a size corresponding to that of the spectroscopy voxel is placed within the region of interest as per the guide map. Then spectral data is acquired from the region of interest confined to the single voxel.

As a result of evaluating the obtained bounding reference and the identifier identifying the second operating system, a resource control action is performed.

Abstract: The techniques and systems described herein improve security and improve connection reliability by providing a framework for an application to communicate its intent to an authority service so that the authority service can enforce networking security requirements. In various examples, an intent to access a resource over a network is received and queries are sent to resolve a network connection that enables access to the resource. Information for the resource is then collected and stored together in a trusted and secure environment. For instance, the information can include proxy data or can include hostname data. A ticket can be created based on the information. The ticket can be used to establish and maintain a secure network connection to the resource.
