Abstract: The described embodiments set forth techniques for managing subscription service files, e.g., Customized Applications for Mobile network Enhanced Logic (CAMEL) Application Part (CAP) files, for export and/or transfer of an electronic SIM (eSIM) from a source wireless device. As part of an eSIM procedure to transfer an eSIM, e.g., a processor of the source wireless device obtains, from one or more applet asset servers, one or more subscription service files usable to generate a version of applets associated with the eSIM. The wireless device generates an eSIM export package that includes the eSIM and at least one of the one or more of the subscription service files. The processor of the source wireless device provides the eSIM export package to the target wireless device to use to install the transferred eSIM and one or more applets based on the subscription service files on the eUICC of the target wireless device.

Abstract: Post induction hypotension (PIH) may be associated with an increase of morbidity and mortality. As PIH is caused by different (pharmacological) mechanisms compared to intra operative hypotension (IOH), using any of the various definitions for IOH is inadequate. Accordingly, the present application describes a more comprehensive method to assess clinically relevant PIH (defined as “crasher”) based on visual blood pressure patterns and an automated classification model able to classify these types of patients.

Abstract: A method includes inserting a contact member into an anatomical cavity. The contact member is rotated within the anatomical cavity through a first range of angular motion and engages tissue of the anatomical cavity during such rotation, such that rotation of the contact member within the anatomical cavity through the first range of angular motion causes torsional deformation of the anatomical cavity. The contact member is moved longitudinally through a first range of longitudinal motion after rotating the contact member within the anatomical cavity through the first range of angular motion, thereby causing longitudinal deformation of the anatomical cavity. A position of the contact member is secured relative to the tissue, thereby maintaining the torsional and longitudinal deformation of the tissue.
