Abstract: Methods and devices using measurements of heart electrophysiological activity to guide structural heart disease interventions, and in some particular embodiments, implantation of heart valve annuloplasty devices. In some embodiments, measurements of heart electrophysiological activity are mapped into locations of a heart model defined by one or more additional measurement modalities. Locations to map electrophysiological data to, in some embodiments, are determined by non-electrophysiological measurements simultaneous with the electrophysiological data measurement which locate a probe—for example, measurements made by the probe itself, and/or measurements which themselves indicate positioning of the probe.

Abstract: A blister package for a contact lens is provided. A deformable slider supporting a lens is movable via pull-tab or hinge to lift the contact lens out of a lens well. The deformable slider can include a hinge connected to a flexible peel-away top of the blister package or connected to a pull tab that can be pulled to pull taut the deformable slider. A blister package is also provided that includes a hinged shell having a lateral opening opposite the hinge, and a deformable slider that is folded over onto itself and seals both a top chamber and a bottom chamber. By pulling a tongue of the deformable slider, which extends from the lateral opening, the deformable slider can be removed from the closed shell and the closed shell can be opened enabling access to the contact lens.

Abstract: An HME device (1) has an outer housing (10) in two parts removably connected with one another by bayonet lugs (17) on one part (13) inserted in bayonet slots (48) on the other part (14) and twisted. An HME unit (50) has a tapered coupling at one end fitted on an internal port (45) in one part (14) so that it can be removed and replaced by separating the two parts of the housing. The outside of the HME unit (50) is spaced from the inside of the housing (10) by an annular bypass channel (55). A selector (31) has a rotatable plate that can be moved to cover either the passage through the HME unit or the bypass channel.

Abstract: A method of exchanging messages across a network, the method comprising receiving a resource request message from an asset controller, the resource request message comprising asset data and a resource request, analyzing the resource request message in order to select at least one resource candidate from a plurality of available resource candidates, the resource candidates having a resource for exchange with the asset, sending the resource request message to the selected at least one resource candidate, receiving a resource approval message from the at least one resource candidate, the resource approval message being indicative of an approval to supply the resource in accordance with the resource request message, and in the event that the resource approval message indicates approval to supply the resource, generating a transaction authorization message, the transaction authorization message being used to authorize a transaction to supply the resource on the basis of the resource request message.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to functionalized polymers and compositions comprising such where the functionalized polymers comprise amide, imide, and/or ester functionalized partially or fully saturated polymer comprising C4-5 olefins having: i) an Mw/Mn of less than 2, ii) a Functionality Distribution (Fd) value of 3.5 or less, and iii) an Mn of 10,000 g/mol or more (GPC-PS) of the polymer prior to functionalization, provided that, if the polymer prior to functionalization is a copolymer of isoprene and butadiene, then the Mn of the copolymer is greater than 25,000 g/mol (GPC-PS).

Abstract: A closed system suction catheter (3) is connected with a tracheal tube (1) by means of a Y-shape connector (2) having one port (202) connected with the tracheal tube, a second port (203) connected with a breathing tube (200) and a third port (204) connected with the closed system suction catheter. The third port of the connector includes a normally-closed flap valve (320) that is opened by insertion of the patient end fitting (306) of the closed system suction catheter and closes when the suction catheter is removed from the connector so that ventilation pressure is maintained and contamination is prevented.

Abstract: A cuffed tracheal tube has a shaft (10) with an inner component (30) having an inflation lumen (23) extending along a rib (33) along the outside of the component. The rib (33) terminates a short distance rearwardly of the patient end (14) of the inner component. The inflation lumen (23) is closed by an outer layer (51) applied over the inner component (30) and covering the patient end of the rib. Two closely spaced openings (54) through the rib (33) are spaced in the inflatable region of a silicone sealing cuff (13) secured around the patient end of the shaft.

Abstract: First and second pluralities of residual elements useable to reconstruct first and second respective parts of a representation of a signal are obtained. A transformation operation is performed to generate at least one correlation element. The transformation operation involves at least one residual element in the first plurality and at least one residual element in the second plurality. The at least one correlation element is dependent on an extent of correlation between the at least one residual element in the first plurality and the at least one residual element in the second plurality. The transformation operation is performed prior to the at least one correlation element being encoded.
