Abstract: Architectures and techniques are presented that can more efficiently update derived data products in response to updated source data. Source data is typically stored in source tables, whereas a materialized view of a query can generate a derived table based on the state of the source tables at the time the query is executed. When source data changes (e.g., in response to late-arriving input data), rather than recomputing the entire derived table (e.g., by again executing the original query, which can be expensive), an invertible relationship between timestamps can be leveraged to identify only those portions of the derived table that are affected by the update. Therefore, a new defining query can be generated to update only those portions of the derived table that are affected by the source data update.

Abstract: Embodiments of a guide and flexible sleeve for use with catheters for ablation or other medical procedures are disclosed. An exemplary catheter comprises a guide element having a proximal end and a distal end, the distal end configurable in a desired shape. A flexible sleeve is conformable to the guide element so that the flexible sleeve slides over the guide element, the flexible sleeve has a proximal end and a distal end. A controller couples to the flexible sleeve. The controller operates to move the flexible sleeve at least part way between the distal end of the guide element and the proximal end of the guide element. At least one ablation element disposed at the distal end of the flexible sleeve operates to form a substantially continuous ablative lesion when the flexible sleeve is in contact with a contiguous volume of target tissue.
