  • Publication number: 20240108466
    Abstract: The present technology is a prosthetic heart valve device, and related systems and methods, for treating a native valve of a human heart having a native annulus and native leaflets. One embodiment comprises a valve support, a prosthetic valve assembly within the valve support, and an anchoring member having an upstream portion and a downstream portion. The device further includes an extension member coupled to the fixation frame and extending radially outward therefrom. The extension member includes a plurality of discrete fabric segments having a first end at the anchoring member and a second end spaced apart from the anchoring member, wherein each discrete fabric segment includes lateral edges extending from the first end to the second end of the discrete fabric segment. The discrete fabric segments are configured to move circumferentially relative to each other.

  • Patent number: 11922195
    Abstract: Some embodiments support embedding of a notebooks software component in a surrounding host application, thereby promoting consistency of notebook user interfaces and user experiences between different kinds of applications. For instance, the notebook access added to an integrated development environment (IDE) may be aesthetically consistent with the notebook access added to a business analytics tool from the same vendor as the IDE. Departures from the aesthetic are still supported, e.g., a notebook access provided in a video gaming environment to teach gamers programming skills may have the same aesthetic as the simulated world of the video game, rather than an IDE aesthetic or an enterprise software aesthetic. Direct integration or proxied integration architectures may be used. Efficiencies may be gained by distinguishing between notebook viewing, editing, and executing operations, and providing more computationally expensive resources only as needed for the notebook access being performed.

  • Publication number: 20180114596
    Abstract: A system obtains health data corresponding to a plurality of patients from one or more first data sources and occupational data from one or more second data sources. The system processes the health data and the occupational data to identify at least one patient of a plurality of patients for inclusion in a behavioral modification program for a health condition of the patient. The system also generates graphical user interfaces of the behavioral modification program for display at a client device to display content associated with the health condition. The system monitors user interactions with the content and integrates additional content based on the monitored user interactions.
