Abstract: In some examples, a system detects a first alert associated with activities of a first group of entities, the first alert generated by a first type of security agent. The system predicts an alert collection including one or more alerts expected to occur based on occurrence of the first alert, wherein a second alert of the alert collection is from a second type of security agent different from the first type of security agent. The system generates one or more remediation actions to apply in response to a pattern of alerts including the first alert and the one or more alerts of the alert collection. The system provides, in an electronic device to be protected against attacks, information of the one or more remediation actions to be applied by the electronic device responsive to occurrence of the pattern of alerts.

Abstract: Embodiments provide a novel concrete composition and method for forming a geopolymer-based building material. The composition comprises a geopolymer binder, water-retentive aggregates with long-term water retention properties and biological surface growth facilitation, where at least one aggregate is cellulose pre-treated with a saturating coating solution. The composition also includes rigid, porous aeration aggregates and strength aggregates. The method involves mixing these components to form a pourable building material, which is then poured and cured under controlled conditions to create a durable, cured building material. Embodiments include a geopolymer-based construction material comprising an aluminosilicate precursor, an activator, biopolymer-coated water-retentive aggregates, and a porosity agent. Said geopolymer-based construction material retains water above 10% by weight with a pH below 8.0, offering enhanced sustainability, biological compatibility, and durability in construction applications.

Abstract: Systems are provided for synthesizing leads of an electrocardiogram (ECG) based on a subject ECG collected from a subject and converting a nonstandard ECG based on a nonstandard placement of electrodes to a standard ECG with a standard placement of electrodes. The described systems may generate simulated ECGs based on simulations of electrical activity of hearts having different heart configurations. From each simulation, simulated ECGs are generated assuming a specification of electrode position(s) for each lead of an ECG. The systems identify a simulated ECG that is similar to the subject ECG. Based on the simulation from which that simulated ECG was generated, the systems identify a synthesized ECG or converted ECG.

Abstract: A technology is provided for supporting cardiac stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) procedure. The technology collects an arrhythmia electrocardiogram (ECG) from the patient and a CT scan. The technology employs a mapping system to generate a demarcated generic three-dimensional (3D) mesh based on the ECG. The demarcated generic 3D mesh has a target for an ablation demarcated. The technology employs a 3D machine learning (ML) model to generate a patient-specific 3D mesh based on the CT scan. The technology employs a demarcation ML model to generate a demarcated patient-specific 3D mesh based on the patient-specific 3D mesh and the demarcated generic 3D mesh. The demarcated patient-specific 3D mesh has the target for the ablation demarcated to account for difference between cardiac geometry of the patient-specific 3D mesh and the demarcated generic 3D mesh.
