A wicking component is integrated into an arthroscopically deployable bone anchor, and is intended to improve soft tissue-to-bone repair. Once deployed, the fibrous wick component extends from within the bone tunnel, out of the hole, and to the bone-tendon interface on the bone surface. The tissue is approximated against the bone, sandwiching the wick material between the bone and tissue. The wick component is ideally a polymeric fibrous or tissue-based scaffold that provides a pathway for cells (autologous bone marrow constituents and blood) to travel from within the bone to the soft tissue-bone interface, accelerating and promoting the healing response. The system provides a biomimetic structure that stimulates the extracellular matrix to encourage cell attachment and potentially improve the healing response. The wick component does not need to be integrated into a suture anchor and installed when the suture anchor is deployed. For example, the wick component could be placed above or near a traditional suture anchor after it has been deployed.

Modern collision-avoidance systems are capable of cooperating with other vehicles in an emergency, but only if the vehicle processors already know the locations and 5G/6G wireless addresses of the other at-risk vehicles. This is an unsolved problem. Therefore, methods are disclosed for a “planning” vehicle to solicit angle and distance measurements from each “cooperating” vehicle in proximity, and their wireless addresses. The planning vehicle can then process those measurements, determining the relative coordinates of each vehicle in view, and then broadcasting a results message with all the coordinates and, when known, wireless addresses. The vehicles can then quickly arrange coordinated evasions for collision avoidance. Optionally, an artificial intelligence model may process the angle and distance measurements, deriving the best-fit two-dimensional distribution. Optionally, the planning vehicle can determine its orientation and geographical coordinates, and then include the geographical coordinates of the other vehicles in the results message.

Embodiments allow a network device whose hardware limits an Association Number (AN) to only {0, 1}, to be part of Media Access Control security (MACsec). Upon detecting a network device as being AN-limited, that device's priority value is assigned a maximum value, thereby ensuring election of the AN-limited device as the key server. The {0, 1} AN of the key server is used to generate a Secure Association Key (SAK) used for MACsec. Upon subsequent rekeying, the AN-limited key server automatically cycles to a next AN (either 0 or 1) to generate a new SAK, where that next AN is also recognized by other network devices. In this manner, the AN-limited network device can participate in the MACsec without encountering ANs (e.g., {2, 3}) that it does not recognize.

Multi-Path approach to data migration between nodes in distributed data storage systems is rendered by creating multiple connections between application cores across interfaces on both an initiator node and a target node and load balancing whole messages and RDMA operations over the various pathways routed via the same or different network fabric types. The Multi-Path approach adapts to applications which are core-affine and those which are not. The balancing of whole messages/RDMA operations is performed by a send/receive API command specifying the target node for the whole message (and optionally a core number in the case of a core-affine target). The Multi-Path approach adapts dynamically to network errors by excluding faulty pathways, as needed, and shifting traffic to remaining healthy pathways with background recovery of pathways running periodically for self-healing. The Multi-Path also adapts dynamically to the load by diverting traffic from slow pathways and favoring pathways with normal load.

Large semiconductor ICs provide the processing power for billions of electronic devices used in every facet of modern life. Multiphase converters are the most common means of providing the current required for these CPUs, GPUs, and ASICs. Contemporary designs require 8, 12, 16, and even higher phase counts.
