Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to automatically generate a return target for a potential real estate deal based on supplemental deal information. According to one embodiment, a collateral type associated with a potential real estate deal is determined. For example, a deal originator may provide this information to deal controller via a communication network. Supplemental deal information associated with the deal is received, and a return target for the deal is then automatically generated based on the collateral type and the supplemental deal information. The return target may represent, for example, a loan spread required for approval of the deal.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for evaluating a property using stochastic vacancy information. According to one embodiment, a first stochastic value associated with a property is determined. For example, an interest rate or a market rent associated with the property may be determined. A second stochastic value, associated with vacancy information, is also determined. The first and second stochastic values are then used to predict income and/or debt service coverage ratio information associated with the property. The determinations of the stochastic values can be repeated in accordance with a Monte Carlo simulation to evaluate a potential loan associated with the property.

Abstract: An elasticity imaging method uses magnetic resonance to detect the distribution of eternally induced velocities within a subject. Distributions am measured responsive to at least two different field-of-views. Differences of the velocity distribution obtained with one field-of-view and the second field-of-view are computed to give a component of stress. The method can be used to obtain velocity measurements in any of three mutually orthogonal directions responsive to field-of-view shifts in as many as three mutually orthogonal directions to give a total of nine stress components. Data for each component can be acquired independently or data acquisition can be multiplexed to reduce data acquisition requirements.

Abstract: Thermal drug treatment of tumor tissue is obtained by attaching a thermally active drug to carrier molecules which have an affinity to tumor tissue. Localized heating is performed on the tumor tissue, thereby activating the drug in the tumor tissue. The end result may be concentrated delivery of a drug to a chosen tissue, or, in the case where the drug creates a toxin when heated, selective tissue destruction of a selected locations heated. The localized heat may be applied by focused ultrasound heating.

Abstract: A shear rate imaging method uses magnetic resonance to detect the distribution of velocities within a subject. Distributions are measured responsive to at least two different field-of-views. Differences of the velocity distribution obtained with one field-of-view and the second field-of-view are computed to give a component of shear rate. The method can be used to obtain velocity measurements in any of three mutually orthogonal directions responsive to field-of-view shifts in as many as three mutually orthogonal directions to give a total of nine shear rate components. Data for each component can be acquired independently or data acquisition can be multiplexed to reduce data acquisition requirements.
