Abstract: Techniques for entity engagement are disclosed. An onboarding request is received from an interested entity and a first profile is generated for the interested entity. The onboarding of interested entity is verified and upon successful verification, the first profile is stored in an immutable form on a decentralized authentication framework. Further, an engagement request is received, from at least one of the interested entity and the entity of interest, to initiate a profile engagement between the interested entity and the entity of interest. The engagement request is authenticated to determine the credibility of the engagement request. Upon successful authentication of the engagement request, the first profile and the second profile is retrieved from the decentralized authentication framework. Based on an approval received from at least one of the interested entity and the entity of interest, engagement is initiated between the interested entity and the entity of interest.

Abstract: An example file server manager updates a selected share of a destination distributed file server based on a snapshot of at least a portion of a selected share of a source distributed file server. The selected share of the destination distributed file server is updated while the source distributed file server serves client requests for storage items of the selected share of the source distributed file server. The file server manager receives a request to failover from the source distributed file server to the destination distributed file server and configures the destination distributed file server to service read and write requests for storage items of the selected share of the destination distributed file server. The file server manager further redirects client requests for storage items of the selected share of the source distributed file server to the destination distributed file server by updating active directory information.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods in which a surgeon can use computer-implemented deformity assessment and correction tools to create 3D models of a bone. To ensure adequate healing, a surgeon may choose to use a prefabricated bone plate, a semi-customized bone plate, or a fully-customized bone plate to hold first and second bone portions in a corrected position. To select the appropriate prefabricated bone plate, the surgeon may identify three landmark locations on the first and second bone portions corresponding to desired fixation hole locations on the bone plate. The surgeon can then use a software application to evaluate multiple bone plate designs in a library and compare the average proximity of the landmark locations to fixation hole locations on each of the bone plate designs. Then, the surgeon can determine which bone plate design best fits the patient anatomy based on his comparison.
