Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor and a memory on which are stored machine-readable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to receive resource information correlated to a virtual private cloud (VPC). The resource information may be for discovery of resources in an instance in the VPC. The processor may upload the resource information to a cloud storage connected to the VPC. The resource information may be downloaded to an agent on the instance in the VPC to perform the discovery of resources in the instance to generate discovery information. The processor may receive the generated discovery information from the cloud storage. The generated discovery information may be uploaded to the cloud storage from the agent.

Abstract: A device for a patient-specific acetabular and/or femoral guide. The guides can be used in a selected resection of at least one of a femur and an acetabulum to increase a range of motion of the femur relative to the acetabulum. Generally, a natural acetabulum and femoral head are maintained.

Abstract: Embodiments of this disclosure disclose an imaging system, including an eye interface device, a scanning assembly, a beam source, a free-floating mechanism, and a detection assembly. The beam source generates an electromagnetic radiation beam. The detection assembly generates a signal indicative of an intensity of a portion of the electromagnetic radiation beam reflected from the focal point location. A subsequent focal point of the electromagnetic radiation beam may be adjusted per the measured intensity signal. In some embodiments, an intensity signal below a lower threshold value may suggest a depth increase for a subsequent focal point. An intensity signal above an upper threshold value may suggest a depth decrease for a subsequent focal point. And, an intensity signal between the lower and upper thresholds may suggest a depth be maintained for a subsequent focal point. The focal point may be adjusted after each pulse or after a plurality of pulses.

Abstract: A method for managing file systems includes receiving, by a unified namespace manager, a first message that indicates a new file system has been created on a first node, performing an update on a top level file system namespace to include a reference to the new file system to generate an updated top level file system namespace, generating, based on the update, a second message that indicates the top level file system namespace has been updated, and sending, to a second node, the second message.

Abstract: Techniques involve: in response to a first session for asynchronous snapshot replication being established between a first source device and a destination device, determining whether the first source device and the destination device have a common baseline snapshot. Such techniques further involve: in response to determining absence of the baseline snapshot, determining whether initial synchronization from a second source device to the destination device is completed. Such techniques further involve: replicating, based on a result of the determining, at least one user snapshot at the first source device to the destination device. Accordingly, duplicated user snapshots at the destination device are significantly reduced. The snapshot management and space utilization of the destination device are also improved.

Abstract: A first wireless device receives from a base station, a configuration message indicating: a first power control parameter set for a first sidelink feedback type; and a second power control parameter set for a second sidelink feedback type. A sidelink feedback type indication of one of: the first sidelink feedback type; and the second sidelink feedback type is received from a second wireless device. Based on the sidelink feedback type indication one of the first power control parameter set and the second power control parameter set is selected as a selected power control parameter set. A transmit power of a sidelink feedback signal is determined based on the selected power control parameter set. The sidelink feedback signal is transmitted to the second wireless device based on the transmit power.
