Abstract: A lithotripsy device for use in a thermal lithotripsy procedure may include an elongate member, having a proximal end and a distal end and a first thermal lithotripsy transducer (e.g., a thermoelectric transducer such as a thermocouple) at the distal end of the elongate member. The first thermal lithotripsy transducer configured to heat and to cool, in response to an applied first electrical input signal, to emit a thermal lithotripsy dose toward a lithotripsy target.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media for preventing data loss at ephemeral and/or volatile storage of a local storage system are provided. These techniques may include synchronizing that state of the ephemeral storage system to a cloud-based storage system and capturing a cloud snapshot of the cloud-based storage system. In the event of a failure at the volatile storage, the cloud-based snapshot can be used as a restore point for the cloud-based storage system, the state of which can then be synchronized back to the volatile storage. Additionally, the local storage system includes durable storage for storing transaction logs. After synchronizing the state of the cloud-based storage system to the volatile storage, the local storage system can playback transactions in the transaction log to restore the volatile segment to the state at the time of the failure.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media for snapshotting ephemeral and/or volatile storage systems are provided. These techniques may include synchronizing that state of the ephemeral storage system to a cloud-based storage system and capturing a cloud snapshot of the cloud-based storage system. To reduce the time to capture a cloud snapshot, techniques disclosed herein include obtaining sets of pending data changes to the ephemeral storage system that have not been synchronized to the cloud-based storage system. When the pending data changes satisfy a threshold metric, the pending data changes may then be synchronized to the ephemeral storage system on a rolling basis.

Abstract: In one or more embodiments, a cloud operation reservation system is provided through which cloud operations may be scheduled and managed. The cloud operation reservation system includes logic for defining a set of time windows that are available to perform one or more cloud operations on cloud targets and presenting the set of time windows to one or more tenants of a cloud service. Tenants may browse the presented set of time windows and submit reservation requests to update and/or perform other operations on cloud targets. In response to receiving, a request to reserve one or more slots in a particular time window, the cloud operation reservation system schedules one or more cloud operations to be performed on a cloud target that is available to at least one tenant.

Abstract: A processor can obtain a biometric scan of a first user and a second user wherein the first user and the second user are within a predetermined geographical location. The processor can identify one or more records associated with the first user and one or more records associated with the second user based on the biometric scan. The processor can analyze the one or more records associated with the first user and the one or more records associated with the second user. The processor can determine, from the analyzing, whether a risk threshold is exceeded. The processor can display an alert to the first user and the second user.

Abstract: In one or more embodiments, a system defines a plurality of waves for performing a set of scheduled operations on a set of cloud targets within a particular time window, where the plurality of waves includes a first wave for performing scheduled operations on a first subset of cloud target and a second wave for performing scheduled operations on a second subset of cloud targets. During the first wave, a first subset of scheduled operations within the particular time window are performed on two or more target resources from the first subset of target resources. The system determines a rate of success for performing the first subset of scheduled operations on the two or more target resources from the first subset of target resources. If the rate of success does not satisfy the threshold, then the system delays or cancels operations from subsequent waves including the second subset of operations.
