Embodiments of the disclosed technologies receive a request including a user identifier and metadata associated with a slot available at a user system, remove the user identifier from the request to produce anonymized request data, receive, from a machine learning model, superposition data that correlates with the anonymized request data, send the superposition data for the anonymized request data to a real-time content-to-request matching process, receive, from the real-time content-to-request matching process, an identifier that identifies a content distribution selected based on the superposition data, and initiate the selected content distribution through the network to the slot in response to the request.

Superposition-based content serving

A system that generates a three-dimensional model of a tissue surface, for example the inner surface of the heart from two-dimensional image data slices. On this surface, one or more pattern lines are drawn, e.g., by a physician using a user interface, to designate desired lesion(s) on the surface. From the pattern lines, a three-dimensional volume for a lesion can be determined using known constraints. Advantageously, the series of boundaries generated by the three-dimensional volume may be projected back onto the individual CT scans, which then may be transferred to a standard radiosurgical planning tool. A dose cloud may also be projected on the model to aid in evaluating a plan.

Heart tissue surface contour-based radiosurgical treatment planning

Embodiments of the disclosed technologies receive a first signal from a user session and create a first ranked list of content items. Based on the first signal, a first subset of the first ranked list is assigned to a first set of slots of the user session. A second subset of the first ranked list is assigned to a second set of slots of the user session. Based on user activity data and position context data, a second ranked list of content items is created. The second ranked list is assigned instead of the second subset to the second plurality of slots.

Asynchronous content switching

Techniques for performing prefetching for a ranking service in a microservice architecture are provided. In one technique, in response to receiving a content request, an entity identifier of an entity associated with the content request is determined, a host of a second service that is different than the first service is determined. The first service sends the entity identifier to the host of the second service. The second service retrieves entity feature data that is associated with the entity identifier. The first service identifies a set of content delivery campaigns, identifies the host of the second service, and sends the identity of the set of content delivery campaigns to the host of the second service. The host of the second service determines a ranking of the set of content delivery campaigns, a subset thereof is selected, and data about each selected campaign is transmitted over a computer network.

Entity-sticky-routing ranking feature prefetch in microservice architecture

Techniques for integrating two server systems are provided. A first server system receives, from a first computing device, provider data generated by a third-party tracking service. The first server system stores association data that associates the provider data with one or more content items. After storing the association data, the first server system receives, from a second computing device, a message that includes a first identifier and that indicates an event and a content item. In response to receiving the message, the first server system determines whether to report the event to the third-party tracking service. If so, the first server system determines a second identifier based on the first identifier, retrieves, based on the association data and the content item, the provider data that is associated with the content item, and transmits, over a network to the third-party tracking service, the second identifier and the provider data.

Server-to-server integration of tracking events

Radiosurgical treatments of tissues of the heart mitigate arrhythmias and treat other tumerous and non-tumerous disease using an implanted fiducial positioned in or near the heart using cardiac catheterization techniques. The fiducials may be implanted after diagnostic and planning images of the target tissues have been acquired. Fiducial implantation may take place the day of a scheduled radiosurgical treatment. Techniques to accommodate post-planning fiducial implantation may include registration of the implanted fiducial location with the treatment plan, and active fiducials may limit collateral imaging radiation exposure while enhancing tracking accuracy.
