Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100141654Device and Method for Displaying Feature Marks Related to Features in Three Dimensional Images on Review Stations - A system is provided for displaying information associated with at least one feature of a three-dimensional image. The three-dimensional image is apportioned along a plane into a plurality of 2-D image slices and a display is provided for viewing the 2-D image slices. A feature window of the present invention is positioned together with a 2-D image display. The feature window displays feature distribution along a plane normal to the plane of the 2-D image slices for one or more regions of interest, thereby increasing reviewing efficiency by enabling visualization of three-dimensions of information using a 2 dimensional display. As a result a reviewer is able to quickly identify image slices with the most pertinent feature information and diagnostic efficiency and accuracy is greatly increased.06-10-2010

The medical image of the breast, which includes a background region bordering a breast tissue region along a skinline thereof, is processed to detect an inward-facing retraction along the skinline, which can be potentially indicative of an anatomical abnormality in the breast tissue. In one preferred embodiment, a display monitor displays first information representative of the medical image of the breast and second information identifying a location of the detected inward-facing retraction on the medical image of the breast. In another preferred embodiment, one or more metrics characterizing the detected inward-facing retraction are used as features in the classification of potential CAD detections in the breast tissue region.06-17-2010

20090240476Method and device for forecasting computational needs of an application - The invention comprises methods and devices of forecasting future computational needs of an application based on input load, where the application comprises a plurality of processes executed on a plurality of computing devices. The method of the invention proceeds by monitoring at least a computational load characteristic of at least a first process executed on a first computing device and a second process executed on a second computing device. A mathematical relationship between input load and the computational load characteristic is established, and future computational needs are forecasted based on the established mathematical relationship.09-24-2009
20100235635Methods, Systems And Computer Program Products For Authenticating Computer Processing Devices And Transferring Both Encrypted And Unencrypted Data Therebetween - Methods for transferring a set of data from a first processing device to a second processing device are provided. Pursuant to these methods a secure shell (“SSH”) authentication is performed to authenticate a first user that is logged onto the first processing device to a second user that is logged onto the second processing device. The set of data is divided into a first data subset and a second data subset. The first data subset is encrypted to provide an encrypted data set. The encrypted data set is transferred from the first processing device to the second processing device. The second data subset is also transferred from the first processing device to the second processing device, but without encrypting the second data subset. Related data transfer systems and computer program products are also provided.09-16-2010

20090268915Secure Creation and Management of Device Ownership Keys - Secure creation and management of device ownership keys. TPM ownership keys are generated by cryptographically combining manufacturer information with device specific information. Ownership keys are established in the TPM containing device. The manufacturer retains necessary information to reconstruct the ownership key if needed.10-29-2009
20100131694Secure Boot ROM Emulation - Secure boot ROM emulation with locking storage device. A locking storage device is provided by combining a nonvolatile memory device such as flash or EEPROM with one-shot locking logic which write enables at least a portion of the nonvolatile memory device upon power cycling of the overall digital device. This write enable is cleared during the stage 1 bootloader process, thus providing a protected update interval for updating a stage 2 bootloader once per power cycle.05-27-2010
20100313262PROVISIONING REMOTE ACCESS POINTS - Provisioning remote access points for use in a telecommunication network. A remote access point contains identity information established during manufacturing; this identity information may be in the nature of a digital certificate. The identity information is stored in the remote access point, and may be stored in a Trusted Platform Module if present. When the remote access node is powered up in unprovisioned state, outside the manufacturing environment, it attempts to establish an internet connection via a first wired interface, and queries a user for information representing the TCP/IP address of its controller via a second wired interface. Once an internet connection is present, and a TCP/IP address has been provided, the remote access point attempts to connect to the controller at that address. The controller may filter connection requests through a whitelist of approved remote access points. Once a connection is established, controller and access point exchange and verify each other's identities. This may be done through the exchange and verification of digital certificates. Provisioning information is downloaded from controller to remote access point and installed. This may be done via a tunnel such as an encrypted tunnel. Software updates may be applied. The provisioned remote access point is placed in operation.12-09-2010
20110029771Enrollment Agent for Automated Certificate Enrollment - Automated generation of certificates from a Certificate Authority through the use of an Enrollment Agent. Devices needing certificates generate the necessary keys and package public key information with other identifying information about the device and send this information to an Enrollment Agent. The Enrollment Agent takes this information and submits it on behalf of the device to a Certificate Authority, managing the interaction with the Certificate Authority on behalf of the device. The Certificate Authority signs the request, returning a certificate to the Enrollment Agent. The Enrollment Agent packages the certificate along with the other certificates needed to establish a chain of trust and returns these to the device. Certificates may be stored in the device in flash memory. The process is secure as long as the communications path between the devices and the Enrollment Agent is secure; a secure VPN or HTTPS: connection allows the devices and the Enrollment Agent to be in separate locations.02-03-2011
20110252237Authorizing Remote Access Points - Authorizing remote access points for use in a network: A remote access point contains identity information established during manufacturing; this identity information may be in the nature of a digital certificate which can be used to establish a secure connection between networked entities. After the remote access point is provisioned to communicate securely to a controller using its TCP/IP address provided by a user, the remote access point is put into an un-authorized state by the controller pending further authorization. The user is presented with a secure captive portal page authenticating the end-user. This authorization may be through entering a user name and password, through presenting a certificate, through two-factor methods, or other methods known to the art. User's authentication credentials are verified by the controller. Optionally this verification can be performed using a per-user certificate. After the remote access point has been authorized, the controller marks it verified as a fully functional node, and saves this state. The user performing the authorization is associated with the remote access point, and may be used to monitor the usage and potentially revoke the authorization. The remote access point is provisioned with the current provisioning parameters for the remote access point as configured by the IT administrator for the end user, so that each remote access point can have unique per-user configuration applied.10-13-2011
