Abstract: Imaging from sequential scans is aligned based on patient information. A three-dimensional distribution of a patient-related object or objects, such as an outer surface of the patient or an organ in the patient, is stored with any results (e.g., images and/or measurements). Rather than the entire scan volume, the three-dimensional distributions from the different scans are used to align between the scans. The alignment allows diagnostically useful comparison between the scans, such as guiding an imaging technician to more rapidly determine the location of a same lesion for size comparison.

Abstract: Systems and methods for batching operations in a virtualization environment. A method embodiment operates over a plurality of virtual machines in the virtualization environment. A user interface is used to select two or more virtual machines that are to be subjected to the same batch actions. A method step then generates at least one batch request to be performed over the two or more selected virtual machines. In forming the batch request, the states of the individual virtual machines are analyzed to determine one or more entity-specific operations that apply to the virtual machines and/or to constituent entities of the virtual machines. Once the state-specific and entity-specific operations have been determined, an entity management protocol initiates execution of the one or more entity-specific operations over the individual ones of the two or more selected virtual machines.

Abstract: A processor-implemented method facilitates identity exchange in a decentralized setting. A first system performs a pseudonymous handshake with a second system that has created an identity asset that identifies an entity. The second system has transmitted the identity asset to a third system, which is a set of peer computers that support a blockchain that securely maintains a ledger of the identity asset. The first system transmits a set of pseudonyms to the third system, where the set of pseudonyms comprises a first pseudonym that identifies the first system, a second pseudonym that identifies a user of the second system, and a third pseudonym that identifies the third system. The first system receives the identity asset from the third system, which securely ensures a validity of the identity asset as identified by the first pseudonym, the second pseudonym, and the third pseudonym.

In various embodiments, the disclosed techniques may reduce the ability of other nearby individuals to determine information entered by the user.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for real-time prediction of thermal-insights for a heat dissipating device in a data center cooled by one or more cooling units. The method uses a concept of influence mass fractions in conjunction with proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) based reduced order model. It may be understood that, the influence mass fractions may be computed by performing a fixed number of CFD simulations based on mass flow rates of the one or more cooling units. The method further facilitates to identify a set of reference scenarios for a given range of operational parameters of the one or more cooling units impacting the heat dissipating device. The set of reference scenarios may then be provided to the POD in order to predict the thermal-insights of the data center such as a temperature, mass flow rate, and insights into thermal influence of air sources on the heat dissipating device.
