  • Monitoring health status of a large cloud computing system
    Patent number: 11803421
    Abstract: Aspects of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and system for monitoring a health status of a computing system. The method includes one or more processors deploying a respective monitoring prediction agent in each of a plurality of worker nodes of a computing system. The method further includes determining, for each of the plurality of worker nodes by the respective monitoring prediction agent, a single binary health status value by comparing a time-dependent function of performance metric data values of the respective worker node to upper and lower threshold values. The method further includes receiving the binary health status values together with respective identity information from each of the plurality of worker nodes. The method further includes generating a dataset indicative of a health status of the computing system by feeding the received respective identity information to hash functions of a Counting Bloom Filter.

  • METHOD AND DEVICE FOR FIXATING A SUTURE ANCHOR WITH A SUTURE IN HARD TISSUE
    Publication number: 20230320719
    Abstract: A suture anchor retaining a suture is fixated in hard tissue, in particular in bone tissue, using any per se known method and is then secured using a securing element including a material having thermoplastic properties, which is liquefied in situ and made to penetrate the hard tissue in which the suture anchor is fixated. The securing element is e.g. a thermoplastic plug or thermoplastic sleeve which is anchored above the suture anchor in a mouth area of the same hard tissue opening. Alternatively the securing element is a thermoplastic pin which is introduced into an inner cavity of the suture anchor, wherein the material having thermoplastic properties is liquefied in this cavity and, in a liquid state is pressed through passages connecting the cavity with outer surfaces of the anchor.
