Abstract: Various example embodiments are described in which an anisotropic encoder-decoder convolutional neural network architecture is employed to process multiparametric magnetic resonance images for the generation of cancer predication maps. In some example embodiments, a simplified anisotropic encoder-decoder convolutional neural network architecture may include an encoder portion that is deeper than a decoder portion. In some example embodiments, simplified network architectures may be combined with test-time-augmentation in order to facilitate training and testing with a minimal number of test subjects.

Abstract: Blow molded containers and methods for making the same are provided. A blow molded container has a container wall including a thermoplastic polymer material having a rheology melt strength (Rms) of at least 30 Pa·s2. A method of making a container includes providing a material sheet including at least one thermoplastic polymer layer having a rheology melt strength (Rms) of at least 30 Pa·s2, forming the material sheet into a tube, sealing the tube at a seal area, and blow molding the tube to form a container.

Abstract: A method, system and apparatus for delivering a massively multiplayer version of a limited-player game such as poker, with a limited deck. A communication and data servers system generates a set of common cards randomly for all players to share, and for each player a set of hole cards drawn from the remaining cards in the deck, but with replacement. The computer communicates the common cards and allocates winning to the player or players with the highest ranking hands. Extension of the method, system and apparatus to repeat the game until a predetermined number of winners are selected. Extension of the method, system and apparatus for use to pre-select players for a multi-phase tournament. Extension of the method, system and apparatus to provide a shared multi-player gaming experience for supporters in venues such as a concert hall or sporting event.
