  • Patent number: 11957580
    Abstract: A delivery device for a collapsible prosthetic heart valve, the delivery device including an inner shaft, a distal sheath disposed about a portion of the inner shaft and forming a compartment with the inner shaft, the compartment being adapted to receive the prosthetic heart valve, the inner shaft and the distal sheath being movable relative to one another, and a handle including a frame having a longitudinal axis, a proximal end and a distal end, the handle further including a deployment actuator and a hub, each of the deployment actuator and the hub being independently capable of opening and closing the compartment, the hub further including a hub actuator coupled to the inner shaft.

  • Publication number: 20220141227
    Abstract: Technologies are described for managing metadata associated with external content. For example metadata can be obtained that describes content stored on external systems. The metadata can be obtained without locally storing the content items themselves. For example, the metadata can be retrieved from the external systems while the external content continues to be stored on the external systems. The metadata can also include indications of the actions that can be performed in relation to the external content. For example, actions can be obtained (e.g., locally determined and/or obtained from the external systems) and added to the metadata. The metadata can be stored and used locally. For example, the metadata can be used to locally perform the actions in relation to the external content. The metadata can also be used to locally initiate actions that are then carried out in the external systems.

  • Publication number: 20180314723
    Abstract: Technologies are described for managing multi-tenant identifiers (e.g., multi-tenant keys or multi-tenant database keys). Creating multi-tenant identifiers can comprise receiving a source system identifier from a source system, determining a source identity provider of the source system, creating a multi-tenant identifier representing a combination of the source system identifier and the source identity provider, and storing the created multi-tenant identifier. Using multi-tenant identifiers can comprise receiving a request to lookup a source system identifier, associated with a source system, in a multi-tenant identifier mapping table, determining a source identity provider of the source system, identifying an entry in the table with the source system identifier and the source identity provider, and returning a multi-tenant identifier associated with the identified entry in the table.

  • Patent number: 4093885
    Abstract: A sensor for sensing vibrations in a transducer assembly and for generating an electrical signal indicative of the vibrations is disclosed. The sensor includes a piezoelectric generator which is mounted with a bimorph on a common substrate. The piezoelectric generator and bimorph have a common cantilevered end portion and an opposed deflectable free end portion so that deflection of the free end portion of the bimorph causes a corresponding deflection of the free end portion of the piezoelectric generator, whereby the piezoelectric generator generates an electrical indication of the instantaneous degree of deflection of the bimorph.
