20110206257AUTOMATIC DETECTION AND ACCURATE SEGMENTATION OF ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSM - This invention concerns an efficient algorithm for automatic and accurate segmentation of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA). The algorithm first identifies the location of the lumen (the inner portion of aorta) and then segments it. The abdominal portion of the lumen is then found using anatomical and geometrical features. This portion of the lumen is straightened using geometrical transformation based on the smoothed centreline. The transformed lumen is then passed through a number of filters, based on geometrical, intensity, gradient and texture features, to search for the existence of the aneurysm. If aneurysm is detected, a deformable model is first initialized to the approximate borders of the aneurysm which are then refined using global and location information.08-25-2011

20100332680FAULT TOLERANCE APPROACHES FOR DNS SERVER FAILURES - Techniques are provided for handling failures of DNS (domain name system) servers to respond to DNS queries. A DNS resolver is configured to resolve domain names, and includes a time-to-live (TTL)-based cache, a negative cache, and a long term store cache. The TTL-based cache is configured to temporarily store domain names with resolved IP addresses. The negative cache is configured to store negative entries that include information indicating domain names that were failed to be resolved. The long term store cache is configured to store domain names with resolved IP address for an indefinite time period. The caches are accessed in a manner that enables fewer DNS query retries to be performed when a DNS server is non-responsive, to reduce delays and network traffic. Furthermore, the DNS resolver may reduce a number of DNS queries performed the longer the DNS server stays non-responsive.12-30-2010

20100330570NUCLEOTIDE TRANSIENT BINDING FOR SEQUENCING METHODS - Provided herein are compositions and systems for use in polymerase-dependent, nucleotide transient-binding methods. The methods are useful for deducing the sequence of a template nucleic acid molecule and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analyses.

The labeled nucleotides transiently-binds the polymerase in a template-dependent manner, but does not incorporate. The methods are conducted under any reaction condition that permits transient binding of a complementary or non-complementary nucleotide to a polymerase, and inhibits nucleotide incorporation.12-30-2010
