Abstract: The present disclosure provides an orthopedic implant that can include an intramedullary stem transition region that fits in the bony intramedullary canal. The transition region can run as a monolithic piece between the implant body and the intramedullary stem, with a squared cross-section away from the implant body and a circular cross-section close to the stem body. The transition region can allow for higher implant strength with reduced rotation for the implant.

Abstract: Remote configuration of network interface cards (NICs) on appliances of a scaleable compute resource such as a frame-based system is disclosed. Frames may include a frame link module (FLM). Remote configuration of NICs may allow for multiple networks to be maintained in physical or logical isolation from each other. For example, a management data network may be maintained independently of an application data network. An FLM CPU may detect an appliance, validate compatibility for the appliance, a midplane, a PHY connection, etc. Commands from the FLM CPU may configure the independent networks. Independent networks may provide redundancy and segregation by data type. A controller area network (CAN) bus may deliver configuration commands to a NIC of an attached appliance. Air gap equivalent isolation of networks based on type of network may be achieved while maintaining redundancy of networks to address potential failure of individual components.
