Title: Threat detection system
Inventor: MATTI AKSELA
IPC: G06F21/56
Filed: 2017-11-06
Abstract: This application is for a way of detecting future threats against a computer system by first creating a modular representation of the behaviour of known applications on the basis of sub-components, which identify procedures, of these applications 200. It then enters the modular representation into an evolutionary analysis system to generate previously unknown combinations of the procedures 202. It then stores these generated combinations as candidate descendants of known applications in a future threat database 204. It then monitors the behaviour of the computer system to detect any procedures that match the behaviour of procedures stored in the candidate descendant database 206, and if it detects a match, and if the matching candidate descendant is determined to be malicious or suspicious, it identifies the currently running application as either malicious or suspicious. It may also analyse the behaviour of the set of known malicious or benign applications in a protected environment.

Title: Interaction property prediction system and method
Inventor: AKHILESH REDDY
IPC: G16B5/00
Filed: 2018-04-20
Abstract: A data store comprising executable instructions for at least one of a deep residual network, highway network, densely connected network and a capsule network; and a processor coupled to the data store for executing the stored instructions. The system obtains target object data comprising data indicative of a three dimensional representation of at least one property of a target object. Test object data is also obtained which is indicative of a three-dimensional representation of at least one property of a test object. The neural network is operated to obtain an indication of an interaction property. The process is repeated with different test objects to select a subset of test objects having a likelihood of fitting with the target object above a selected threshold. This may be used to drug molecule and protein interaction to determine capacity to bind to a target in different poses. Uncertainty may result from chemical bonds that allow relative rotation between parts of the molecule, so calculations of geometric biochemical and electromagnetic properties using a voxel array and binding affinity may assist in drug discovery.

Title: Methods and systems for updating an existing landmark registration
Inventor: KAMYAR ABHARI
IPC: G06T7/50
Filed: 2018-08-13
Abstract: A method of updating landmarks in image-guided surgical navigation. A planar view image of a region of interest including a landmark is captured and a depth map is generated using the planar view image. A current location of the landmark 820 in the common coordinate space is identified. The existing landmark registration 810 in the coordinate space is transformed/updated to the current location of the landmark feature 820. The depth map may be generated from stereoscopic images, by touch point identification, or a focus or contrast sweep. The coordinate space is three-dimensional coordinate space. The landmark location may only be updated if the transform shifts the existing landmark registration beyond a threshold position limit. If a landmark is not determined to be in the region of interest, the field of view is increased to identify the landmark.

Filed: 2019-08-12
Abstract: Partially coupling a geomechanical simulation with a reservoir simulation facilitates predicting strain behavior for a reservoir from production and injection processes. A method comprises generating a geomechanical model based on a mechanical earth model that represents a subsurface area. The geomechanical model indicates a division of the mechanical earth model into a plurality of grid cells that each correspond to a different volume of the subsurface area. Based on a first virtual compaction experiment with the geomechanical model, compaction curves are generated. The compaction curves represent porosity as a function of stress. The compaction curves are converted from porosity as a function of stress to porosity as a function of pore pressure. The geomechanical model is partially coupled to a reservoir simulation model using the converted compaction curves.
