Abstract: The present invention is a selectively attachable watch accessory for filling the gap between a watch and/or wristband and a wearer's wrist. The watch accessory also keeps a watch from rotating or sliding along a wearer's wrist without making the wristband unusually tight and also can change the angle of the watch display. The watch accessory can include a wedge pad, a removable bridge strap and a removable wedge pin that secures the accessory to a watch and/or a wristband. The watch accessory allows a user to fill a gap between a watch and/or wristband and a wearer's wrist that is present on many watches to enhance the fit of a watch. This device is useful for traditional watches and smart watches that encourage a user to interact much more with a limb mounted screen.

Abstract: A server system includes a memory, a processor in communication with the memory, and a server managing a plurality of cooperating microservices. The server executes on the at least one processor to capture tracing information reported during invocation of a set of cooperating microservices. The tracing information includes a service name and version information associated with at least one microservice of the set of cooperating microservices. Additionally, the server builds an application deployment profile from the service name and version information, compares the application deployment profile to an existing profile, and classifies the application deployment profile as a previously existing profile, a subset profile, an extension profile, and/or an updated profile. The server tracks performance data associated with the application deployment profile.

Abstract: Methods, non-transitory computer readable media and computing device that enabling direct memory access (DMA) capable devices for remote DMA (RDMA) are illustrated. With this technology, a first network message is inserted into a first location of a remote memory region of a computing device via DMA. The remote memory region is defined in an anchor record retrieved from a shared memory of the computing device. A local head pointer is synchronized, via DMA, with a remote head pointer stored by the computing device. The local and remote head pointers correspond to the first location of the remote memory region of the computing device. Following receipt of a DMA completion message, a notification message is sent, via DMA, to the computing device indicating that the network message has been transferred.

The second event data is to be joined with the first event data. The method further includes performing a join operation of the first event data and the second event data at least partially in view of whether the second event data is stored in the cache memory.

Abstract: A method, non-transitory computer readable medium and storage controller computing device that retrieves an anchor record from a shared memory of a peer storage controller using a direct memory access (DMA) provider device. The anchor record includes an indication of a message first in first out (FIFO) memory region of the peer storage controller. A work request is obtained from a queue.

The DMA provider device is instructed based on the determined type of the work request and, when the determining indicates that the work request is a request to send a network message, use the message FIFO memory region of the peer storage controller computing device.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are included for performing tracing in a distributed environment. An example method includes determining that a first span corresponds to a client span kind and that a second span corresponds to a server span kind. The first span is cached in association with a span identifier. An identifier associated with the second span is matched to the span identifier associated with the first span. Based on the matching, dependency information is generated corresponding to the first span and the second span.

Abstract: A support plate, for supporting the two parts of a tibia after a tibial osteotomy, is generally in the shape of a T with a stem having top and bottom ends and a cross piece extending across the top end of the stem. The support plate has a rear surface arranged to contact the tibia. The rear surface of the stem is convex in its central longitudinal plane over a first region of the plate, and the rear surface of the cross piece is concave in its transverse plane.

Abstract: Devices and methods for deploying an anastomotic stent between portions of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract are disclosed. The anastomotic stents are configured to atraumatically engage the tissue walls and to permit the flow of fluid, partially digested food, and food. The stents can be deployed using endoscopic catheter devices, laparoscopic tools, and combinations of both endoscopic tools and laparoscopic tools. Examples of anastomoses include anastomoses between the stomach and a portion of the intestines such as the jejunum. Anastomoses can also be formed between two closed ends of the intestines, such as two closed ends of the colon formed during a colon resection procedure. Anastomoses can also be formed between a fundal pouch formed during a gastric bypass procedure and the jejunum. Laparoscopic tools are disclosed to deploy a stent by selectively removing a radial restraint on a self expanding stent with the restraint removed through the laparoscopic access points.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide custom synchronization procedures in file synchronization. A primary agent is used to monitor for changes, create synchronization plans to synchronized changes, and execute the synchronization plan. The primary agent, however, interacts with one or more separate custom agents to customize the synchronization plans. One exemplary technique involves monitoring for local changes to a first copy of a file tree and updates from another computing device regarding remote changes to a second copy of the file tree. When a change to either copy is identified, a synchronization plan for the change is created based on a default synchronization procedure. The synchronization plan is sent to a custom agent for customization. The custom agent creates the custom synchronization plan by modifying the synchronization plan and sends the custom synchronization plan to the primary agent. The custom synchronization plan is then executed by the primary agent.

Abstract: A method and system for providing a segmented business process engine for generating a result in response to an event message. A process instance identification component of the segmented business process engine identifies a process instance associated with the event message and provides the process instance message to a selected process execution component of the segmented business process engine. The selected process execution component identifies a process definition in view of the process instance message and obtains state information associated with the event from a consistent image store component of the segmented business process engine. The selected process execution component generates a result associated with the event in view of the state information and the process definition and provides the result to at least one of the client application or another process instance identification component.

Abstract: A method and system for generating a set of service definitions relating to a computer application based on a set of interaction models relating to a set of participants in the interaction models. For each participant, a set of message traces is extracted from the set of interaction models and common message events in each message trace are identified. The common message events are transformed into service actions and a service definition is generated including the service actions. The generated service definition may then be deployed on a suitable computing system, such as, for example, a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) platform.
