Abstract: Methods and systems for managing operation of a deployment are disclosed. The operation may be managed by determining whether an edge device is operating in an undesired manner. The determination may be made by determining a health state and/or a security state of the edge device. The health state and/or the security state may be determined by obtaining at least one power consumption level of the edge device and classifying an operational state of the edge device. If the edge device is determined to be operating in the undesired manner, the operation of the edge device may be remediated to improve a provision of computer implemented services.

Abstract: Methods and systems for providing computer implemented services are disclosed. To provide the services, information may be distributed. To distribute information, unavailable information may be preferentially generated near requestors of the information rather than distributing existing copies of the information over longer distances. To generate the requested information, existing copies of other information may be modified to obtain local copies of the requested information. The newly generated information near the requestor may then be used to service the request.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a method includes extending a dilator into a body of a patient in a first direction such that a distal end portion of the dilator extends from the body. The dilator defines a lumen therethrough. At least a portion of the dilator is disposed within the body when the distal end portion extends from the body. At least a portion of an implant is passed through the lumen defined by the dilator. The dilator is removed from the body by moving the dilator in the first direction.
