Abstract: A method for analyzing an image of a lesion on the skin of a subject including (a) identifying the lesion in the image by differentiating the lesion from the skin; (b) segmenting the image; and (c) selecting a feature of the image and comparing the selected feature to a library of predetermined parameters of the feature. The feature of the lesion belongs to any one selected from the group: color, border, asymmetry and texture of the image.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for reducing data bandwidth between a cloud server and a thin client. The method comprises: rendering a base layer image or video stream at the thin client, transmitting an enhancement layer image or video stream from the cloud server to the thin client, displaying a composite layer image or video stream on the thin client, the composite layer being based on the base layer and the enhancement layer.

Abstract: According to various embodiments, a verification method may be provided. The verification method may include: determining a plurality of objects, each object having a property; displaying a representation of each object of the plurality of objects; receiving from a user an input indicating a sequence of the plurality of objects; determining a sequence of the properties of the plurality of objects; and comparing the Determine a plurality of objects, each object having a input with the sequence of the properties of the objects.

Abstract: A data processing system includes interconnect circuitry providing a plurality of memory transaction paths between one or more transaction masters, including a processor, debugging circuitry and a DMA unit, and one or more transaction slaves including a non-volatile memory, a DRAM memory and an I/O interface. A cache memory is provided between the interconnect circuitry and the non-volatile memory. This cache memory may be a two way set associative cache memory. The cache memory may serve as a read-only cache memory. A cache miss will result in a line fill of a cache line including the target data which was missed. If prefetching is enabled for the cache memory and the transaction was attempting to read a program instruction, then a prefetch operation may be performed in which a further contiguous cache line of data is also fetched into the cache memory upon the cache miss.

Abstract: A diagnostic testing utility is used to perform single link diagnostics tests including an electrical loopback test, an optical loopback test, a link traffic test, and a link distance measurement test. To perform the diagnostic tests, two ports at each end of a link are identified and then statically configured by a user. The ports will be configured as D_Ports and as such will be isolated from the fabric with no data traffic flowing through them. This configuration can be static or can be on request or on errors. The ports will then be used to send test frames to perform the diagnostic tests. After completion of requested or on error testing the ports can return to normal operation.

Abstract: A 3D printer includes a frame, a printing head connected to the frame and movable with respective to the frame, and a table assembly connected to the frame. The table assembly includes an object table adapted to support an object to be printed during a printing operation. The table assembly is adapted to move relative to the frame at least between a storage position and an operational position.

Abstract: Stream-switching techniques are applied in a content delivery system. A merge frame is generated as a function of bit-rates, distortion, and a piecewise constant operator. Parameters of the piecewise constant operator are selected to optimize the merge frame. Data streams are switched based on bandwidth requirements, switch requests, and throughput of a network. Images are reconstructed based on the merge frames and prediction frames. Reconstructed images are identically reconstructed for any prediction frame based on the merge frame.
