The process includes responsive to the second request, controlling, by the second proxy, whether the usage is permitted responsive to a predefined capacity quota for the resource.

Abstract: Techniques for managing the registration of medical devices with servers and/or other computing systems in an efficient manner are provided. These techniques may include use of partial or delayed registration. When a medical device, such as an infusion pump, initially connects to a server, such as a health management system or an intermediary, the medical device may register with the server. For a period of time after completion of the registration, the medical device may not be required to re-register when a network connection is interrupted and reestablished. To reestablish communications, a secure connection may be established using a process by which the medical device proves its identity. The medical device may then resume normal network communication using the secure connection, without performing a full registration process. Full registration may be delayed until a period of time has expired.

Abstract: An illustrative embodiment disclosed herein is an apparatus including a processor and a memory. In some embodiments, the memory includes programmed instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to upload an object to a source bucket in an object store and create a lambda bucket in the object store that is symlinked to the source bucket. In some embodiments, the lambda bucket is associated with a predefined transformation. In some embodiments, the memory includes the programmed instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to receive a request to download the object from the lambda bucket, detect that the object is in the source bucket, fetch the object from the source bucket, transform the object, by compute resources of the object store, using the predefined transformation, and download the transformed object.

Abstract: Example implementations relate to the processing of refresh token requests at an API gateway. The API gateway determines a first time associated with receipt of the refresh token request and a second time associated with the generation of a current access token. The current access token and a refresh token in the refresh token request are provided by the API gateway to the client device for accessing a backend service. The API gateway determines whether a difference between the first time and the second time is within a pre-defined threshold duration. When the difference between the first time and the second time is within the pre-defined threshold, the API gateway denies the refresh token request for generating the new access token and transmits the current access token back to the client device.

Abstract: Techniques for managing encoded communications for medical devices in a clinical environment are provided. Different versions of signal coding libraries are generated for different devices in a communication path. A first signal coding library may be generated using a first signal definition that includes a set of fields. A second signal coding library may be generated using a second signal definition that includes a subset of the fields of the first signal definition, and excludes one or more of the fields of the first signal definition. A message encoded using the first signal coding library may not be completely decodable using the second signal coding library. By selectively deploying the signal coding libraries to different systems, devices, and components in a clinical environment, access to information in message fields can be effectively managed.

Abstract: Techniques for managing secure communication certificates for medical devices in a clinical environment are provided. A short-lived, limited-use token may be uniquely assigned to a medical device. The medical device can self-provision a secret key and corresponding public key based on a unique identifier in the token. The medical device generates a certificate signing request (“CSR”) that includes the public key, and sends the CSR and the token to a verification system that serves as an intermediary between medical devices and a certificate authority. The intermediary may only send the CSR to the certificate authority (“CA”) for a certificate if the intermediary is able to validate the token.

Abstract: The problem of ensuring coverage for an inbound communication from a customer while also preventing concurrent responses from members of the agent group tasked with said coverage is solved by a system where a customer's thread is owned for routing purposes not by a single user but by a group of users, only one of whom is allowed to communicate with the customer until a timer expires or the thread is explicitly unlocked. Communication channels may include text messaging, voice telephony and email. In various embodiments, an adaptive rules engine is utilized to route incoming customer communications as well as outbound responses. A combination of communication/message locks and communication/messaging cache levels are used in some embodiments to provide communication/messaging coverage and to resolve competition between responding agents to address concurrency. Customer/agent communications which use multiple communication channels are threaded in an agent user interface.
