Abstract: A cortical malformation identification method includes quantitatively evaluating, using a processor of a computer that includes the processor and a memory, digital image data from a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan on a cerebral cortex to produce quantified scan data. The method also includes automatically detecting a cortical malformation based on the quantified scan data. An image of the cerebral cortex may be color-coded so that the cortical malformation is shown in a different color than the remainder of the cerebral cortex in the image, based on the quantified scan data. Additionally or alternatively, a 3-dimensional representation of the cerebral cortex may be mapped to the quantified scan data to produce a mapped image of the cerebral cortex including the detected cortical malformation.

Abstract: An image of a virtualization software in a plurality of hosts is installed or upgraded by performing the steps of: in response to a user input, generating a software specification that specifies a desired state of the virtualization software; based on the software specification, preparing a desired image of the virtualization software by retrieving metadata of the desired state of the virtualization software and determining components that make up the desired state of the virtualization software; and instructing each of the hosts to install the desired image of the virtualization software or upgrade a current image of the virtualization software to the desired image of the virtualization software. One of the components defines a set of payloads for a core kernel of the virtualization software.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to manage configuration of policy-based hypervisors are disclosed. An example method includes generating, by executing an instruction with a processor, a specification for a target configuration of a host based on a policy-based profile, the policy-based profile describing a source configuration of a source host at a virtualization software level; applying, by executing an instruction with the processor, the specification to the target configuration; and in response to an update to the policy-based profile, updating, by executing an instruction with the processor, the target configuration to place the host in compliance with the updated policy-based profile.

Abstract: A server is programmed to receive an application command from a hosted application executed by a second server, generate a simulated mobile device command indicating a function specified by the application command, and send the simulated mobile device command to a telematics controller of a vehicle, to cause the vehicle to execute the application command using a device link interface configured for communication between the vehicle and mobile devices local to the vehicle.
