  • Patent number: 11973686
    Abstract: In general, this disclosure describes a virtual router configured to enable multi-cloud service provider connectivity. The multi-cloud service provider connectivity may enable network function virtualization (NFV) services to be applied to network traffic such as enterprise traffic. The NFV services may be offsite, cloud-based NFV services or data center provider-hosted NFV services, for example. In one example, a system comprises at least one computing device deployed to a data center by a data center provider and configured by the data center provider to execute a virtual router, wherein the virtual router is configurable by a customer to route packet flows to one or more servers that host network function virtualization services for application of the network function virtualization services to the packet flows.

  • Publication number: 20230386631
    Abstract: Methods and devices for implementation of a health care prescription. Some devices may dynamically monitor information from a patient device. Some embodiments may dynamically provide instructions to patient devices to treat and for treating patients through the use of medical devices based on the information from a patient device. Some embodiments treat musculoskeletal conditions by providing for alignment of bones by use of bone alignment devices in accordance with instructions provided through a prescription. Other embodiments may facilitate or provide revised prescriptions in response to treatment conditions. Embodiments may also provide effective ways of communicating prescription and compliance information between patients and health care providers.

  • Patent number: 11784927
    Abstract: In general, this disclosure describes a programmable network platform for dynamically programming a cloud exchange to provide a layer three (L3) routing instance as a service to customers of the cloud exchange. In one example, a cloud exchange comprises an L3 network located within a data center and configured with an L3 routing instance for an enterprise; and for the L3 routing instance, respective first and second attachment circuits for first and second cloud service provider networks co-located within the data center, wherein the L3 routing instance stores a route to a subnet of the second cloud service provider network to cause the L3 routing instance to forward packets, received from the first cloud service provider network via the first attachment circuit, to the second cloud service provider network via the second attachment circuit.

  • Patent number: 11759690
    Abstract: A swing training assembly includes a shuttle, a shuttle travel track, a tensioner, a shuttle displacement line and a shuttle pulley. The shuttle resides in the shuttle travel track and the shuttle pulley and shuttle displacement line are adapted to linearly displace the shuttle to different shuttle positions within the shuttle travel track in response to displacement forces applied to the shuttle pulley by a user pulling on the shuttle displacement line. The tensioner provides an opposing counter-force to control the rate of shuttle displacement. The swing training assembly may also include body positioning limits to maintain proper body alignment while the user pulls on the shuttle displacement line.

  • Publication number: 20230233232
    Abstract: An adjustment compliance device and systems and methods for use with an external fixator are disclosed. The adjustment compliance device can be attached to a strut of an external fixator and may include at least one indicator element to indicate adjustment parameters for an active step of an adjustment process for the external fixator. The adjustment parameters may include an active strut and/or a direction of adjustment for the strut. The adjustment compliance device may receive the adjustment parameters from a user device. The at least one indicator element may include a light element operative to emit light in a color corresponding to the active strut. The at least one indicator element may include a light element configured to indicate a direction of rotation of the active strut. As a result, a patient can more effectively comply with an adjustment prescription, thereby improving the likelihood of successful bone alignment.

  • Publication number: 20230090626
    Abstract: A kit and corresponding methods of use are disclosed. In use, the kit includes a plurality of articulating clamps for coupling to one of the rings of an external fixation system. In use, the clamps include a body portion having a stem arranged and configured to be received within an opening formed in one of the rings. The clamp further including a clamp assembly for engaging a rod spanning the first and second rings. Thus arranged, the clamp may be directly coupled to one of the rings and the rod, the clamp enabling the position of the ring to be adjusted relative to the rod. As such, the clamps may enable, inter alia, a hexapod external fixation system to be converted into a static frame, a static frame to be constructed in a more efficient manner, and/or creation of an enlarged visualization or working window.

  • Publication number: 20230086184
    Abstract: Logic may provide a deformity analysis to create a treatment plan for external fixators. Logic may further perform additional refinements to the treatment plan to improve the patient experience. Logic may further include pre-operative osteotomy to select an osteotomy and to provide real-time updates to a post-operative image based on changes to an osteotomy line, orientation, and/or rotation point. Logic may facilitate movement of one or two portions of a medical image to determine an alignment of bone segments in the portions of the medical image. Logic may generate deformity parameters based on a combination of translations and/or rotations of the movement to align the portions. Logic may create a treatment plan including a prescription for an external fixator based on deformity parameters.
