Abstract: A surgical imaging device includes a rigid body. The rigid body includes an elongate member extending longitudinally along a central axis to a sharp distal tip. The sharp distal tip is configured to pierce through tissue to access an interior of a cavity of a patient. The rigid body also includes a bore extending longitudinally through at least a portion of the elongate member. The surgical imaging device further includes a camera secured to the elongate member of the rigid body within the bore of the rigid body. The camera is adapted to capture images of the interior of the cavity of the patient when the sharp distal tip has pierced through the tissue to access the interior of the cavity of the patient.

Abstract: A technique includes causing an agent device to setup a replication partnership between a first storage node and a second storage. Causing the agent device to setup the replication partnership includes configuring a proxy server that is associated with the second storage node to establish a secure communication channel for the replication partnership over a public network. Configuring the proxy server includes storing in the proxy server credentials for authenticating the first storage node to use the secure communication channel; and establishing port translations to be used in the secure communication channel in communicating replication data between the first storage node and the second storage node. Causing the agent device to setup the replication partnership may also include communicating replication partnership information to the second node.

Abstract: The present invention is based, in part, on providing oligonucleotide compositions for targeting CCR2, CSF1R, and/or both CCR2 and CSF1R, as well as methods of use thereof, such as to modulate myeloid-derived cell inflammatory phenotypes and immune responses that are mediated by such cells.

Abstract: A technique includes setting up a replication partnership between a first storage node and a second storage node. The replication partnership includes establishment of a secure connection between the first storage node and the second storage node using a remote internet protocol address, a base port, and an identifying key pair. A port forwarding configuration may then be created, in part, by adding a pre-established port offset relative to a base port (e.g., a well-known TCP/IP port) for a first of a set of one or more pre-established port offsets. This process may be repeated for each remaining instance of the one or more pre-established port offsets. Encryption keys may be exchanged between the first storage node and the second storage node using at least one of the base port or the pre-established port offsets. Replication between the first storage node and the second storage node may be performed securely using the established communication channels.

Abstract: Examples include globalized object names in a global namespace. Some examples may relate to creation of an object with a globalized object name in a global namespace based on a determination. The determination may relate to a global namespace name pattern or the determination may be based on globalization information.

Abstract: Certain examples described herein relate to Persistent Reservation commands in a distributed storage system. In one example, a Persistent Reservation command is received. It is determined whether the Persistent Reservation command indicates persistence through power loss. It is also determined whether a group leader of the distributed storage system is synchronized with a backup group leader. Responsive to the group leader being synchronized with the backup group leader, the command is admitted.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to a technique for memory management where physical memory areas may be partitions into a hierarchy of portions, the hierarchy may include a domain level that includes a page level that includes a slice level that includes an object level. Objects within a slice are a consistent size but may be different sized for different slices. A set of states reflecting memory usage status for each of the slices includes: a clean state for unused; a partial state; a full state; and a dirty state. Responses to allocation requests may be performed by selecting objects that are in a most preferred state based on a state allocation cost and a memory allocation cost either alone or in combination. A compact memory layout may be used to reduce run-time fragmentation of memory.
