Abstract: An approach is provided in which a system determines that an amount of times that a set of data was requested by clients from a backend service exceeds a threshold and, in turn, stores the set of data in a local storage area. When the system receives a new request from a client and determines that the new request is requesting the set of data from the backend service, the system retrieves the set of data from the local storage area and provides the retrieved set of data to the client to fulfill the new request.

Abstract: A method and system for generating a job alert. According to embodiments of the present invention, before a target job is processed, a characteristic of input and output of the target job in at least one stage is determined through analyzing a historical job, and a resource overhead associated with the processing of the target job is calculated based on the characteristic of input and output. Then, an alert for the target job is generated in response to the resource overhead exceeding a predetermined threshold. In such manner, an alert for the target job can be proactively generated before the resource overhead problem occurs, so as to enable an administrator or developer to discover a fault in advance and adopt measures actively to avoid loss and damage to the intermediate results or output data when the target job is processed.

Abstract: Ultrasonic surgical device is provided. The device includes a shell which holds an energy converter and an amplitude-change pole. The energy converter may include piezoceramic stack that converts electrical signals into mechanical ultrasonic movement in the longitudinal direction of the device. The amplitude-change pole is a mechanical amplifier that uses mass differentials to amplify the ultrasonic motion. A cutting instrument interfaces with the amplitude-change pole. A drive motor causes on oscillation mechanism, which may be a rocker, to oscillate in a direction tangentially to the longitudinal axis. The oscillating mechanism may then couple to the energy converter, causing the entire cutting structure to move in this oscillation. This causes the cutter to ultrasonically vibrate along the longitudinal axis, while oscillating tangentially to the longitudinal axis.
