  • Patent number: 11708833
    Abstract: An impeller includes a hub and a blade supported by the hub. The impeller has a stored configuration in which the blade is compressed so that its distal end moves towards the hub, and a deployed configuration in which the blade extends away from the hub. The impeller may be part of a pump for pumping fluids, such as blood, and may include a cannula having a proximal portion with a fixed diameter, and a distal portion with an expandable diameter. The impeller may reside in the expandable portion of the cannula. The cannula may have a compressed diameter which allows it to be inserted percutaneously into a patient. Once at a desired location, the expandable portion of the cannula may be expanded and the impeller expanded to the deployed configuration. A flexible drive shaft may extend through the cannula for rotationally driving the impeller within the patient.

  • Patent number: 11709878
    Abstract: Examples described herein generally relate to a computer system for generating a knowledge graph storing a plurality of entities and to displaying a topic page for an entity in the knowledge graph. The computer system performs a mining of source documents within an enterprise intranet to determine a plurality of entity names. The computer system generates an entity record within the knowledge graph for a mined entity name based on an entity schema and the source documents. The entity record includes attributes aggregated from the source documents. The computer system receives a curation action on the entity record from a first user. The computer system updates the entity record based on the curation action. The computer system displays an entity page including at least a portion of the attributes to a second user based on permissions of the second user to view the source documents.
