  • Patent number: 11957934
    Abstract: A crystalline structure modeling methodology that is conventionally used to model crystalline matter down to the atomic level is instead used to determine spot placement for radiation treatment. The cross-sectional shape of a treatment target is specified; locations (peaks) in a density field inside the shape are determined using the crystalline structure model; locations of spots in the treatment target for spot scanning are determined, where the locations correspond to the locations (peaks) inside the shape determined using the crystalline structure model; and the locations of the spots are stored as candidates for potential inclusion in a radiation treatment plan.

  • Patent number: 11938341
    Abstract: These teachings provide for quickly yet accurately forming an influence matrix by generating the influence matrix via integration with a Monte Carlo particle transport simulation. The resultant influence matrix can then be utilized in an ordinary manner when optimizing a radiation treatment plan. By one approach, the foregoing comprises generating the influence matrix via integration with a Monte Carlo particle transport simulation on a particle-by-particle basis. For example, for each particle, these teachings can provide for identifying a spot to which the particle belongs and then adding a dose deposited by the particle during transport to an influence matrix element that corresponds to a spot to which the particle belongs and a voxel to where the dose was deposited.

  • Patent number: 9712556
    Abstract: A method and device for preventing a browser-originating attack in a local area network. A security device in the local area network intercepts a message from a first device in the local area network towards a second device in the local area network. The message requests connection between the first device and the second device. The security device prompts a user of the first device to approve the connection. In the event that the user approves the connection the first device is allowed to connect to the second device, and in the event that the user does not approve the connection the connection attempt is terminated.

  • Patent number: 8959641
    Abstract: A method of foiling a document exploit type attack on a computer, where the attack attempts to extract malware code from within a document stored on the computer. The method includes monitoring the computer in order to detect repeated function calls made by a given process in respect of the same function but different file descriptors; and in the event that such repeated function calls are detected or the number of such repeated function calls exceeds some threshold, terminating the process that initiated the function calls.

  • Patent number: 5038678
    Abstract: The invention concerns a calender, in particular a supercalender, on whose frame (1) a set of rolls (2) is mounted, which comprises an upper roll (3), a lower roll (4), and several intermediate rolls (5) placed between the upper roll and the lower roll. The rolls (3, 4, 5) are supported on the frame (1) by the intermediate structure of the base parts (34, 47, 54) being vertically displaceable along guides (7) provided in the frame. Of the base parts, at least the base parts (54) of the intermediate rolls can be positioned in the vertical direction by means of lifting spindles (6) provided in the frame (1) and by means of spindle nuts (56) provided on the spindle. The base parts (54) of the intermediate rolls are supported on the lifting spindles (6) being vertically displaceable by means of pressure-medium operated relief devices (57) arranged between the base parts (54) and the spindle nuts (56) to reduce the journal loads on the rolls (5).
