  • Patent number: 11996992
    Abstract: Various systems and methods for providing opportunistic placement of compute in an edge network are described herein. A node in an edge network may be configured to access a service level agreement related to a workload, the workload to be orchestrated for a user equipment by the node; modify a machine learning model based on the service level agreement; implement the machine learning model to identify resource requirements to execute the workload in a manner to satisfy the service level agreement; initiate resource assignments from a resource provider, the resource assignments to satisfy the resource requirements; construct a resource hierarchy from the resource assignments; initiate execution of the workload using resources from the resource hierarchy; and monitor and adapt execution of the workload based on the resource hierarchy in response to the execution of the workload.

  • Patent number: 11957894
    Abstract: A neuromodulation therapy is delivered via at least one electrode implanted subcutaneously and superficially to a fascia layer superficial to a nerve of a patient. In one example, an implantable medical device is deployed along a superficial surface of a deep fascia tissue layer superficial to a nerve of a patient. Electrical stimulation energy is delivered to the nerve through the deep fascia tissue layer via implantable medical device electrodes.

  • Patent number: 5709512
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for frictionally restraining a storage unit in the interior of a vehicle to resist motion relative to the vehicle to eliminate the need for alternative or additional connection to the vehicle's interior. The apparatus has at least one frictionally engaging device having an operative engaging portion, a mechanism for attaching the frictionally engaging device to a storage unit desired to be restrained, and a mechanism for actuating the frictionally engaging device operably connected to the frictionally engaging device. The apparatus being capable of restraining a storage unit in the interior of a vehicle upon actuation of the frictionally engaging device.
