Abstract: A system and method for workflow orchestration for use with a cloud computing environment. Cloud environments, such as Oracle Public Cloud (OPC), provide a suite of applications, middleware, and database offerings that can be delivered to tenants in a self-service, elastically scalable, and secure manner. In accordance with an embodiment, the cloud environment can include a Platform as a Service (PaaS) environment, which provides a variety of services such as virtual assembly creation. A workflow orchestrator can be used to orchestrate operations between the cloud environment and the PaaS environment, e.g., by receiving a request from a tenant automation system, and coordinating the provisioning and deployment of virtual assemblies or applications. A customer can interact with the PaaS environment, e.g., to request a service, deploy to the service, or monitor the service.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes strand mounts for small cell radios. A strand mount may include a top plate, a bottom plate, and opposing side plates that form a housing having an interior cavity dimensioned to fit around one or more small cell radios, a plurality of mounting members, each mounting member coupled to the top and bottom plates within the interior cavity and configured such that a small cell radio can be mounted thereto, and one or more mounting brackets. The strand mount has the dual-capability of being mounted either horizontally on a cable strand or vertically on a pole. Alternative strand mounts and strand mount assemblies are also provided.

Abstract: Provided herein, in some embodiments, are methods for reducing the risk of developing progressive multifocal leukemia in patients undergoing natalizumab therapy by switching to an extended interval dosing (EID) schedule.

Abstract: A vehicle restraining mechanism for a loading dock system includes a restraint assembly having a barricade member that is rotationally operable between a stored position, a blocking position and a verification position. The barricade member in the blocking position selectively secures a vehicle relative to a wall of a loading dock. A linear actuator laterally operates the barricade member along a linear path of travel that is generally perpendicular to a rotational axis of the barricade member. A sensor is in communication with at least one of the linear actuator and the barricade member. The sensor and the linear actuator cooperate to position the barricade member relative to a rear impact guard of a vehicle that is parked at the loading dock.
