Abstract: A neuromodulation therapy is delivered via at least one electrode implanted subcutaneously and superficially to a fascia layer superficial to a nerve of a patient. In one example, an implantable medical device is deployed along a superficial surface of a deep fascia tissue layer superficial to a nerve of a patient. Electrical stimulation energy is delivered to the nerve through the deep fascia tissue layer via implantable medical device electrodes.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes: receiving, by a computing device, sensor data relating to the attributes of garment worn by a user; determining, by the computing device, the attributes of the garment based on receiving the sensor data; determining, by the computing device, the user's shopping interest based on determining the attributes of the garment; generating, by the computing device, a targeted advertisement based on the user's shopping interest; and outputting, by the computing device, the targeted advertisement for display at a merchant facility.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method comprises: generating, by a computing device, a computer-accessible corpus including evidence passage generation information; storing, by the computing device, the corpus; automatically generating, by the computing device, evidence passages that support a proposer's response to a customer's proposal request, wherein the evidence passages include a narrative identifying the proposer's capabilities to satisfy evaluation criteria in the proposal request, and wherein the narrative is based on customer-specific information, wherein the generating includes accessing and searching the corpus via an application programming interface (API); and outputting, by the computing device, the evidence passages as an electronic document that is editable via software running on a user device via a user interface.

Abstract: Alert management may include receiving, by a monitoring module from one or more disparate monitored sources, an alert, where the alert is a data structure that includes a plurality of fields; storing, by the monitoring module, the alert in a database; processing, by the monitoring module periodically at predefined intervals, the database, including identifying, in dependence upon a predefined ruleset, one or more alerts; storing, by the monitoring module, the identified alerts in a staging table, including creating, for each of the identified alerts, a primary key in dependence upon the fields of the identified alert; populating, by the monitoring module for each of the alerts stored in the staging table, one or more attribute fields of the alert in dependence upon the created primary key of the alert; and storing, by the monitoring module, the populated alerts in the database.

Abstract: A method, hardware device, and/or computer program product manages network resources. A cloud service provider hypervisor server that supports a cloud service provider hypervisor receives a cloud consumer's management information base (MIB) via an application program interface. The cloud consumer's MIB is a portable MIB that is capable of being loaded into multiple cloud service provider hypervisors. A trap receiver in the cloud service provider hypervisor server receives a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) trap from a resource described by the cloud consumer's MIB. The SNMP trap is an SNMP message that describes an event in the resource. The cloud service provider hypervisor server transfers the SNMP trap to a cloud consumer without any interpretation of the SNMP trap by the cloud service provider hypervisor.

Abstract: A distributed maintenance mode system and method includes receiving an indicator that a monitored system has entered maintenance mode. Trap data is received for the monitored system. It is determined whether the monitored system is in maintenance mode based on the indicator. The trap data is stored and a billable incident ticket is generated for the monitored system if it is determined that the monitored system is not in maintenance mode. The trap data is stored and no billable incident ticket is generated for the monitored system if it is determined that the monitored system is in maintenance mode.

Abstract: A computer system and program product for managing events. Program instructions, respond to notification of an event, by determining if a problem ticket can be automatically generated for the event. If so, the program instructions make a request to generate the problem ticket. The program instructions determine if the problem ticket can be automatically generated based in whole or in part on (a) a type of the event and a customer who owns or uses a computer system in which the event occurred, (b) a type of the event, a customer who owns or uses a computer system in which the event occurred, and a severity of the event, (c) a type of the event, a customer who owns or uses a computer system in which the event occurred, and a magnitude of the event, or (d) a type of the event and whether other events of a same type occur at approximately a same time.
