Abstract: A hierarchical structure constructor constructs a hierarchical structure that comprises nodes associated with feature sets patterns of URLs. Nodes at each depth are labelled as malicious, benign, or mixed for corresponding to URLs that are malicious, benign, or malicious and benign that match the corresponding patterns. Malicious feature set patterns are extracted from malicious nodes in the hierarchical structure. A URL analyzer operates inline by logging traffic sessions, extracting URLs from the logs, and matching the extracted URLs with the malicious feature sets patterns extracted from the hierarchical structure. The hierarchical structure is periodically updated with known malicious/benign URLs to improve quality of malicious URL detection.

Abstract: A method of normalizing detector elements in an imaging system is described herein. The method includes a line source that is easier to handle for a user, and decouples the normalization of the detector elements into a transaxial domain and an axial domain in order to isolate errors due to positioning of the line source. Additional simulations are performed to augment the real scanner normalization. A simulation of a simulated line source closely matching the real line source can be performed to isolate errors due to physical properties of the crystals and position of the crystals in the system, wherein the simulated detector crystals are otherwise modeled uniformly. A simulation of a simulated cylinder source can be performed to determine errors due to other effects stemming from gaps between the detector crystals.

Abstract: Upon receiving list-mode data by detecting radiation emitted from a radiation source positioned with a field of view of a medical imaging scanner, each photon included in the list-mode data can be classified according to one or more interaction properties, such as energy or number of crystals interacted with. Grouped pairs of photons can be generated based on the classifying, and a corresponding interaction-property-specific correction kernel (e.g., a corresponding interaction-property-specific point spread function correction kernel) can be selected for each group. Corresponding interaction-property-specific correction kernels can then be utilized to generate higher quality images.

Abstract: A plurality of different metals, including precious metals, platinum group metals, rare earth elements, alkaline earth metals, etc., can be electrochemically recovered from waste materials such as ashes and e-waste, e.g., printed circuit boards. Waste feed stocks are treated with supercritical CO2 (scCO2) and acid to produce a solid delaminated waste and a liquid delaminated waste for recovery of elemental metals and metal compounds from each. Carbonation reactions can be used to convert and recover alkaline earth metals from the liquid delaminated waste. The solid delaminated waste can yield a solid gold product, and be further treated along with the liquid delaminated waste via a solvent including one or more organic ligands that bind target metals to form metal-ligand complexes. Electrochemical separation of the different metals, e.g., via stepwise variation of pH to release the metals from organic ligands having different pKa values, yields high purity metal product streams.
