Abstract: There is provided a method of generating a dataset of synthetic images, comprising: for each real image each depicting a real human anatomical structure: extracting and preserving a real anatomical structure region(s) from the real image, generating a synthetic image comprising a synthetic human anatomical structure region and the preserved real anatomical structure region(s), designating pairs of images, each including the real image and the synthetic image, feeding the pair into a machine learning model trained to recognize anatomical structure parts to obtain an outcome of a similarity value denoting an amount of similarity between the real image and the synthetic image, verifying that the synthetic image does not depict the real human anatomical structure when the similarity value is below a threshold, wherein an identity of the real human anatomical structure is non-determinable from the synthetic image, and including the verified synthetic image in the dataset.

Abstract: A computer implemented method of generating at least one anonymous image, comprises: extracting and preserving at least one real facial region from at least one real image of a real human face, and generating at least one anonymous image comprising a synthetic human face and the preserved at least one real facial region, wherein an identity of the real human face is non-determinable from the at least one anonymous image.

Abstract: A transport protocol data flow reconstruction method delays determination that a missing packet is lost for a period of time. For an evaluated TCP packet in a first direction, the method determines if a TCP packet is missing in a second direction, in which case the method stores the evaluated TCP packet in a list and creates an acknowledgement timer indicating a maximum time to wait until treating the missing TCP packet as lost. Expiration of the acknowledgment timer indicates a missing packet in the second direction. The method determines if a TCP packet is missing in the first direction, in which case the method stores the evaluated TCP packet in the list and creates a retransmission timer indicating a maximum time to wait until treating the missing TCP packet as lost. Expiration of the retransmission timer indicates a missing packet in the first direction.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for providing additional information, such as advertisements, to a client device via the response signal to an application (or web) server request. A client device is in communication with a server device, and sends a request for information to the server via a network connection. A device is associated with the network connection that detects and analyzes the signals being exchanged. The device would likely be associated with a point-of-presence to an Internet connection, for an ISP or the like. The associated device sends an appropriately timed reset signal to the server device that prevents the server device from further responding to signals subsequently received from the client device. The associated device sends, in response to the web server request, a response signal to the client device. The response signal provides additional information, along with the originally requested web server material.
