The workload is then assigned to a subset of resources with the least penalty index.

Abstract: A trans-endoscopic hydraulic balloon dilation apparatus includes a fluid reservoir containing a hydraulic fluid. A shaft has a lumen in fluid communication with a leading end of the fluid reservoir. A balloon is mounted on the shaft and an opening in the shaft enables hydraulic fluid to flow through the opening into or from the balloon. A piston secured to a leading end of a piston rod is slideably positioned within a lumen of the fluid reservoir. A hub secured to a trailing end of the fluid reservoir is centrally apertured to accommodate the piston rod so that a trailing end of the piston rod is external to the fluid reservoir. Displacement of the piston rod in a trailing-to-leading direction causes expansion of the balloon. Displacement of the piston rod in a leading-to-trailing direction causes deflation of the balloon. The piston can be locked into any position.

Abstract: A technique that reduces the startup time of a processing system authenticates a proxy for an image stored in tracked memory instead of authenticating the image stored in the tracked memory. A controller generates an alteration log authentication code based on an alteration log that is updated prior to programming the image stored in tracked memory. The controller records an alteration log authentication code in secure memory. The alteration log is indirectly related to a most recent image stored in the tracked memory. Authentication of the image of the alteration log is used as a proxy for authentication of the image stored in tracked memory, which is performed only when the tracked memory is modified. Use of the contents of the alteration log as a proxy for the contents of tracked memory accelerates the startup time of the system.
