Abstract: Systems, methods, and machine-readable media facilitate adaptive multi-system operations. Electronic communications from resource-controlling systems and/or monitoring devices may be monitored to identify signals corresponding to processes performed by the resource-controlling systems, resource capacities of resources controlled by the resource-controlling systems, and states of the resource-controlling systems. System interactions that correspond to a defined event may be detected. A protocol that includes parameter constraints mapped to the defined event identified. Operating conditions of the resource-controlling systems and/or metrics of processes performed may be determined based on the monitoring. A subset of the resource-controlling systems may be identified as a function of the operating conditions and/or the metrics. A resource-controlling system may be caused to allocate corresponding resources and perform the processes in accordance with the protocol.

Abstract: Lung conditions are diagnosed and optionally treated using a functional assessment catheter or a functional lung assessment and treatment catheter. A flow restrictive component is initially placed in a bronchus or lung passageway upstream from a diseased lung region. The isolated lung region is then functionally assessed through the catheter, while the flow restrictive component remains in place. If the patient is a good candidate for treatment by occlusive or restrictive treatment techniques, the flow resistive component may be left in place. If the patient is not suitable for such treatment, the flow resistive component may be removed.

Abstract: Aspiration systems and methods for controlling blood loss during thrombus removal are disclosed herein. The systems include an aspiration catheter, an aspiration tubing, a receptacle for collecting aspirated blood, a vacuum line coupled to the receptacle, and a sensor configured to measure a flow parameter associated with a liquid within an aspiration lumen. The systems further include a regulator configured to adjust a vacuum pressure within the vacuum line, and a vacuum controller operably coupled to the sensor and the regulator. The vacuum controller is configured to receive the flow parameter from the sensor, compare the flow parameter to a target range for the flow parameter, and send an automatic control signal to the regulator based on a comparison of the flow parameter to the target range. The automatic control signal causes the regulator to adjust the vacuum pressure within the vacuum line.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for performing thrombectomy procedures are disclosed herein. The devices can include an aspiration catheter which optionally has a beveled distal end. The aspiration catheter is advanced to a position adjacent a thrombus. A blocking element can be expanded near the distal end of the aspiration catheter to block fluid flow during the procedure. The devices can include a thrombus retrieval device supporting a braided assembly that grips and facilitates removal of the thrombus. The braided assembly is expandable to a range of expanded outer diameters by varying the level of tension in an activation wire attached thereto. An expander can be deployed beneath the braided assembly to exert an outward expansion force upon the braid, thereby increasing the grip between the braided assembly and the thrombus. The braided assembly contacts the thrombus and the retrieval device pulls it proximally toward the aspiration catheter.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to unique device authentication via browser. In one embodiment, a server computer system receives, from a browser program executing on a client computer system, a request to authenticate to a private network. The server computer system causes a script to be downloaded to the client computer system, the script being executable by the browser program to establish a connection with a local host program executing on the client computer system. The server computer system receives, from the browser program, authentication information that is based on communication between the browser program and the local host program over the connection. The server computer system may then perform a process responsive to the request to authenticate the client computer system to the private network using the received authentication information. In some embodiments, the authentication information includes an identifier that uniquely identifies the client computer system within the private network.
