Abstract: The disclosure provides a method and system for seamless tracking of an asset across indoor and outdoor environments by utilizing tags affixed on assets and anchor nodes deployed across a facility. Each anchor node emits heartbeat signals that are received by neighboring anchor nodes that comprise information pertaining to coordinates and timestamp of anchor nodes. A data acquisition module receives processed data from each tag to listen to heartbeat signals being shared. A tracking module determines live positional information of the asset based on data retrieved from the data acquisition module. The tracking module, by utilizing predictive positioning algorithms, detects an indoor location of each tag affixed on the asset using a UWB chipset and detects an outdoor location of each tag affixed on an asset using a GNSS chipset.

Abstract: A system includes Adapter, Clip, Member, Wire and Mechanism. Adapter includes a proximal portion mounted over a distal end of an insertion device and a distal portion extending distally from the proximal portion. Clip includes Jaws to move between insertion configuration, in which Jaws extend about Adapter and are separated to receive tissue, and initial configuration, in which Clip is moved distally off of Adapter so that Jaws grip tissue. Member is releasably coupled to Clip and movably connected to Adapter. Member extends from a proximal portion to remain, in an operative configuration, outside body to a distal portion to be coupled to the distal end. Wire is received within Member and extends to a distal end releasably coupled to Clip via Link when predetermined force is applied. Mechanism selectively locks the distal portion of Member against proximal movement relative to Adapter during release of Link.

Abstract: A method of execution unit (EU) sharing between processor cores is described. The method includes encountering a structural hazard associated with an issued instruction in an instruction queue of a dispatch stage inside an active processor core. The method also includes issuing a request for an idle execution unit of an inactive processor core. The method further includes sending a transaction containing source operands of the issued instruction, and a word address of a result buffer as a destination operand to an allocated EU of the inactive processor core. The method also includes replacing the issued instruction in the instruction queue with a load operation to forward a result of the issued instruction from the result buffer based on the word address.

Abstract: A clipping system includes an adapter configured to be mounted over an insertion device and a clip including first and second jaws movable between an insertion configuration and an initial deployed configuration. A first extending member is releasably coupled to the clip and movably connected to the adapter to permit a movement of the clip relative to the adapter from the insertion configuration to the initial deployed configuration. The first extending member is configured to permit withdrawal of the adapter away from the clip to place the system in a review configuration to enhance a visual observation of the clip. The first extending member is operable to retract the clip over the adapter so that the clip is forced open, freeing the clip from tissue on which it has been clipped. The first extending member is configured to release the clip therefrom in a final deployed configuration.

Abstract: A clipping system includes an adapter mounted on an insertion device and a clip including first and second jaws connected via hinges so that the first and second jaws are movable between an insertion configuration and an initial deployed configuration. A deployment member is configured to move the clip distally over and off of the adapter so that, as the clip leaves the adapter, the clip moves from the insertion configuration to the initial deployed configuration.

Abstract: Systems as described herein may implement IP address whitelisting for signed Uniform Resource Locators (URLs). A computing device may receive, from a first user device, a first request to access a resource. The computing device may determine a first identifier of the first user device. After an authentication of the first user device, the computing device may generate a pre-signed URL indicating a location of the resource. The computing device may generate a signed URL by prefixing the pre-signed URL with the first identifier of the first user device. The computing device may receive a second request to access the resource. Based on comparing a second identifier corresponding to the second request with the first identifier in the signed URL, the computing device may grant or deny the second request access to the resource.
