Abstract: This document relates to orchestration and scheduling of services. One example method involves obtaining dependency information for an application. The dependency information can represent data dependencies between individual services of the application. The example method can also involve identifying runtime characteristics of the individual services and performing automated orchestration of the individual services into one or more application processes based at least on the dependency information and the runtime characteristics.

Abstract: There is provided mechanisms for enabling selection of service-providing NFs in a 3GPP communication network. A method is performed by an NRF. The method comprises obtaining one register request from each of the service-providing NFs. Each registration request comprises an NF profile. Each NF profile comprises a security setting attribute. The method comprises storing the NF profiles of the service-providing NFs. The method comprises obtaining a discovery request from a service-requesting NF. The request indicates an NF type. The method comprises providing a discovery response to the service-requesting NF. The discovery response comprises the NF profile of at least one of the service-providing NFs of the NF type, thereby enabling selection of the service-providing NFs. The security setting attribute may pertain to support for mutual TLS and/or for use of OAuth-2 based authorization.

Abstract: A surgical instrument assembly includes a support frame system, and a surgical tool engageable with the support frame system. The support frame system is adapted for providing a surgical tool attachment and articulation locus that is maintained during the course of a surgical procedure to direct a fixed and repeatable delivery path for introduction and manipulation of one or more surgical instruments and implants at a surgical site in or on the patient's anatomy. The delivery path can be substantially curvilinear along an arc that is defined by a radius of curvature and length defined by the surgical tool, and a predetermined range of articulation of the tool at the articulation locus.

Abstract: A tubular retractor securement frame is disclosed including a mounting bracket, two flexor arms, and a device emplacement oriented to receive and hold in-place a surgical tool. The mounting bracket includes an elastically deformable plate, rails extending about orthogonal from the elastically deformable plate and about parallel to one another, and receptacles facing one another in the rails which are arranged to receive a retractor arm extending from a tubular retractor at a fixed angle. The flexor arms extend from the mounting bracket adjacent to the rails. The flexor arms are positioned so as not to occlude visualization through the tubular retractor and such that applying pressure to flex the flexor arms toward one another shifts the rails to accept or remove the retractor arm into or from the receptacles, and releasing the pressure reverts the rails so as to inhibit the retractor arm from being inserted or removed.
