Abstract: A bone joint spacer has two endplates which have a bone engaging surface on one side, and ramps extending from an opposite side. A shaft has a threaded end, and another end which has ramp followers which mate with the endplate ramps of both endplates. A collar slides over the threaded end of the shaft, and also has ramp followers which mate with the endplate ramps of both endplates. A nut threads onto the end of the shaft and pushes the collar towards the ramp followers of the shaft. This movement causes the ramp followers to slide the ramp followers of the collar and the shaft against the endplate ramps, pushing the endplates apart. Two of these spacers can be combined by a link plate so that the spacers can be aligned or curved into a U-shape to be inserted into the body and positioned between bony surfaces, respectively.

Abstract: Handling frequently accessed pages is disclosed. An indication is received of a stalling event caused by a requested portion of memory being inaccessible. It is determined that the requested portion of memory is a frequently updated portion of memory. The stalling event is handled based at least in part on the determination that the requested portion of memory is a frequently updated portion of memory.

Abstract: A fluidic connection system includes a threaded fastener and a fitting assembly. The threaded fastener may be a universal threaded fastener that may be used with various tubings having different outer diameters. The fitting assembly includes a locking ring and a ferrule sized and shaped to fit within a borehole of the locking ring. When the fluidic connection system is assembled an end of the locking ring and an end of the ferrule project beyond an end of the fitting assembly. In some embodiments, the locking ring may be symmetric about a plane normal to its longitudinal axis such that the locking ring may be positioned on the tubing in either direction. The locking ring may be received in a fitting pocket of the fitting assembly. In other embodiments, the locking ring has a tapered feature on an end that engages with a tapered feature on the threaded fastener for aiding in centering the locking ring within the threaded fastener.

Abstract: A joint spacer has first and second endplates, with each having a bone engaging surface, and at least two cams with an inclined cam surface positioned on an opposite side. First and second slides, each having ramps with an inclined surface are engaged with the cams of the endplate. The first slide has an angled portion at an end, and the second slide has a hinge portion. A threaded shaft has a hinge portion connected to the slide hinge portion, connecting the shaft to the slide, enabling the shaft to pivot. A nut is threaded to the shaft, and can contact and interfere with the angled portion of the first slide to drive the first slide with respect to the second slide. This results in engagement of the cams and ramps to drive the endplates apart to increase the spacer height.

Abstract: A method can include providing, by one or more processors, a digital occupant assistant application for occupants of a commercial building and dynamically generating, by the one or more processors using a generative artificial intelligence (AI) model, data to present to an occupant via the digital occupant assistant application. The generative AI model can dynamically generate the data based on at least one of a prompt from the occupant provided via an input interface of the digital occupant assistant application or context relating to at least one of the occupant, the building, a space of the building, an event relating to the building, one or more other occupants, or building equipment or other assets of the building.

Abstract: Provided are methods for clinical treatment of hematological malignancies, such as relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia or lymphoma using an anti-LAG-3 antibody. Particular malignancies include, e.g., chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), or non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).

Abstract: Handling frequently accessed pages is disclosed. An indication is received of a stalling event caused by a requested portion of memory being inaccessible.

Abstract: Dynamic scheduling is disclosed. A plurality of physical nodes is included in a computer system. Each node includes a plurality of processors. Each processor includes a plurality of hyperthreads. In response to receiving an indication of an event occurring, a search is performed for a queue in a set of queues on which to place a virtual processor that had been waiting on the event. Queues in the set of queues correspond to hyperthreads in a physical node in the plurality of physical nodes. The queues in the set of queues are visited according to a predetermined traversal order.

Abstract: Hierarchical stalling strategies are disclosed. An indication is received of a stalling event caused by a requested resource being inaccessible. In response to receiving the indication of the stalling event, a set of cost functions usable to determine how to handle the stalling event is selected based at least in part on a type of the stalling event. The stalling event is handled based at least in part on an evaluation of the set of cost functions selected based at least in part on the type of the stalling event.

Abstract: A provisioning security device, such as a Hardware Security Module, is configured to be coupled to a provisioning apparatus. The provisioning apparatus is electrically connectable with at least one electronic device for provisioning the electronic device in a provisioning session with provisioning data using a serial communication protocol of the electronic device. The provisioning security device comprises processing circuitry configured to generate a provisioning script for executing a portion of the provisioning session. The provisioning script defines a sequence of a plurality of commands of the serial communication protocol used by the electronic device and comprises a portion of the provisioning data. Moreover, the provisioning security device comprises a communication interface configured to transmit the provisioning script to the provisioning apparatus. Furthermore, a correspondingly configured provisioning apparatus is disclosed.
