Patent number: 11455166Abstract: Media, methods, and systems are disclosed for hosting an event-based application. Application instructions corresponding to processing steps to be performed in response to particular events are received from a development environment. The events are associated with a group-based communication channel. An application comprising computer-executable instructions is generated based on the application instructions and metadata associated with the events. In response to detecting one or more of the events, execution of the computer-executable instructions is triggered. A response is received corresponding to output from applying the processing steps to the events. A message is posted into the respective communication channel corresponding to the response.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2021Date of Patent: September 27, 2022Assignee: Slack Technologies, LLCInventors: Michael Brevoort, Angela Kirchhof, Helen Wei Zeng, Curtis Neil Allen, Jr., Stephen Wood

Patent number: 11452626Abstract: The present disclosure describes intraluminal support devices having high radial stiffness regions with smaller diameter and low radial stiffness regions with larger diameter. When deployed to the vasculature of a patient in need of treatment, the high radial stiffness region is sized such that it has approximately the diameter of the vessel in need of treatment, so that it produces substantially zero chronic radial force when the vessel is not being subjected to external compression. The low radial stiffness regions anchor the device to the vessel wall and provide a less-abrupt transition from the high radial stiffness structure. Methods of making and using such devices are also described.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2019Date of Patent: September 27, 2022Assignee: COOK MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES LLCInventors: Joshua F. Krieger, Richard A. Swift, Seoggwan Kim, Susan G. Sahlgren

Based on the detecting, in various implementations, a plurality of data items targeted at one or more registered users may be obtained. The one or more registered users may have accounts accessible to an automated assistant that operates at least in part on the standalone multi-modal assistant device. The plurality of data items may be obtained based on the accounts of the registered users. The plurality of data items may be ranked based on various signals, such as registered user-related and non-registered user-related priorities. Graphical information may be rendered on the display indicative of the ranked plurality of data items.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2019Date of Patent: September 27, 2022Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Andrea Terwisscha van Scheltinga, Rajat Paharia
