  • Publication number: 20240147719
    Abstract: In certain embodiments, a method includes forming, on a substrate by spin-on deposition, a layer stack of alternating layers of first and second carbon-containing materials. The layers of the first carbon-containing material include an agent-generating ingredient for generating a solubility-changing agent in response to an activation trigger. The method includes executing the activation trigger in response to which the solubility-changing agent is generated from the agent-generating ingredient in the layers of the first carbon-containing material and modifies the layers of the first carbon-containing material to be soluble in a developer. The method includes etching first openings through the layer stack, filling the first openings with a third material, etching second openings through the layer stack, removing the layers of the first carbon-containing material from the layer stack by exposing those to the developer, and replacing the layers of the first carbon-containing material with a fourth material.

  • Publication number: 20230157619
    Abstract: A plurality of electrophysiology (EP) data points, each including an electrogram signal, can be used to visualize cardiac activity. Each EP data point can be characterized as substrate or healthy, and a cloud map of the substrate EP data points can be generated. A graphical representation of the cloud map can be output in combination with a graphical representation of an electrophysiology map of the healthy EP data points. In alternative embodiments, the electrogram signals can be transformed into the wavelet domain, thereby computing a plurality of scalograms, and computing a wave function of each scalogram, thereby computing a plurality of wave functions. A propagation map, such as a propagation wave map and/or propagation wave trail map, can then be generated from the wave functions and output graphically.

  • Publication number: 20220313426
    Abstract: The present technology is directed to the treatment of cardiac valves. Many embodiments of the present technology comprise an anchor member configured to be positioned at an implantation site proximate a native valve annulus. The anchor member may comprise an expandable structure having a first portion and a second portion. When the first portion is positioned at the implantation site at body temperature and released from a constrained delivery state, the first portion is configured to self-expand into apposition with tissue at or near the annulus to secure the anchor member at the implantation site. The second portion remains in a low-profile state at or around body temperature and is configured to expand into apposition with tissue at or near the annulus when heated above a second temperature greater than the first temperature and body temperature.
