Abstract: An example method for scaling event processing in a network environment is provided and includes maintaining a first portion of a decision tree at a first server in the network environment, delegating a second portion of the decision tree from the first server to a second server, processing event data substantially simultaneously at the first server using the first portion of the decision tree and at the second server using the second portion of the decision tree, wherein the processing comprises determining a match between the event data and information stored at nodes in the decision tree. In various embodiments, the decision tree is distributed across a plurality of servers in the network, wherein each participating server maintains a local copy of a respective portion of the decision tree and processes the event data using the respective portion.

Abstract: In various aspects, the present invention is directed to implantable neurostimulation leads and methods for their formation. In various additional aspects, the present invention is directed to medical devices having silicone-containing regions with overlying polymeric layers and to methods of forming the same.

Abstract: A monitoring system monitors and provides performance data for a transaction performed by multiple applications over different platforms. A request for a multi-platform transaction such as an SAP transaction is received by a first application, such as a JAVA application, on a first platform. Processing of the transaction triggers the first application to invoke a second application, such as an ABAP application, on a second platform. Code inserted into the first application intercepts the invocation of the second application, remotely executes a function on the second platform while providing a transaction identifier to an application server providing the second platform, and returns control back to the first application, which proceeds to invoke the second application to complete the multi-platform transaction.

Abstract: Monitoring asynchronous transactions in a computing environment is disclosed. A first unique identifier is determined when a first method executes. The identifier is associated with an asynchronous transaction. A second unique identifier is determined when a second method executes. If it is determined that the first unique identifier and the second unique identifier match, then is it determined that the asynchronous transaction started with the first method and completed with the second method. In one embodiment, code that identifies a routine that has instructions for determining the first unique identifier at runtime is added to the first method, and code that identifies a routine that has instructions for determining the second unique identifier at runtime is added to the second method.

Abstract: A monitoring system monitors and provides performance data for a transaction performed by multiple applications over different platforms. The monitoring system provides the ability to initiate collection of transaction data from applications on multiple platforms. A request for a multi-platform transaction such as an SAP transaction is received by a first application, such as a JAVA application, on a first platform. Processing of the transaction triggers the first application to invoke a second application, such as an ABAP application, on a second platform. Code inserted into the first application intercepts the invocation of the second application, remotely executes a function on the second platform while providing a transaction identifier to an application server providing the second platform, and returns control back to the first application, which proceeds to invoke the second application to complete the multi-platform transaction.

Abstract: A medical suction tube tip includes a tubular connector that has a proximal end for engaging the inner diameter of the suction tube, and has a distal end having an inner diameter and an outer diameter. An inner suction tube has a proximal end connected within the inner diameter of the tubular connector, and has a distal end having laterally extending retaining fingers. A coiled wire spring is positioned on the inner suction tube, and is retained between the distal end of the connector and the retaining fingers on the distal end of the inner suction tube. A tubular outer cover encloses the inner suction tube and spring, and has a proximal end connected over the distal end of the tubular connector, and has an enclosed distal end. The cover further includes a plurality of longitudinal flutes extending along the outer surface, and has a plurality of apertures arranged along the flutes. A second embodiment includes the same suction tube, tubular connection, inner suction tube and tubular outer cover.
