  • Publication number: 20240108466
    Abstract: The present technology is a prosthetic heart valve device, and related systems and methods, for treating a native valve of a human heart having a native annulus and native leaflets. One embodiment comprises a valve support, a prosthetic valve assembly within the valve support, and an anchoring member having an upstream portion and a downstream portion. The device further includes an extension member coupled to the fixation frame and extending radially outward therefrom. The extension member includes a plurality of discrete fabric segments having a first end at the anchoring member and a second end spaced apart from the anchoring member, wherein each discrete fabric segment includes lateral edges extending from the first end to the second end of the discrete fabric segment. The discrete fabric segments are configured to move circumferentially relative to each other.

  • Patent number: 11933624
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to processing remotely captured sensor data. A computing platform having at least one processor, a communication interface, and memory may receive, via the communication interface, from a user computing device, sensor data captured by the user computing device using one or more sensors built into the user computing device. Subsequently, the computing platform may analyze the sensor data received from the user computing device by executing one or more data processing modules. Then, the computing platform may generate trip record data based on analyzing the sensor data received from the user computing device and may store the trip record data in a trip record database. In addition, the computing platform may generate user record data based on analyzing the sensor data received from the user computing device and may store the user record data in a user record database.

  • Publication number: 20240078374
    Abstract: Implementations described herein relate to causing emoji(s) that are associated with a given emotion class expressed by a spoken utterance to be visually rendered for presentation to a user at a display of a client device of the user. Processor(s) of the client device may receive audio data that captures the spoken utterance, process the audio data to generate textual data that is predicted to correspond to the spoken utterance, and cause a transcription of the textual data to be visually rendered for presentation to the user via the display. Further, the processor(s) may determine, based on processing the textual data, whether the spoken utterance expresses a given emotion class. In response to determining that the spoken utterance expresses the given emotion class, the processor(s) may cause emoji(s) that are stored in association with the given emotion class to be visually rendered for presentation to the user via the display.

  • Publication number: 20230261368
    Abstract: Methods for manufacturing implantable electronic devices include forming an antenna of the implantable electronic device by delivering an antenna trace within a dielectric antenna body. The antenna trace includes a first trace portion disposed in a first transverse layer and defining a first trace path and a second trace portion disposed in a second transverse layer longitudinally offset from the first transverse layer and defining a second trace path. If projected to be coplanar, the first trace path defines a trace boundary and the second trace path is within the trace boundary.

  • Patent number: 11726093
    Abstract: Components, systems, and methods for gas sensing identification are generally disclosed. In some embodiments, a characteristic of an article (e.g., identity, authenticity, property, product associated information such as age or quality, etc.) may be determined by determining the presence (e.g., an amount) or absence of a chemical compound (or compounds) emanating from the article. For example, the presence or absence of the compound (or compounds) emanating from the article identifies a characteristic of the article. In some embodiments, the chemical compound(s) has been proactively added to the article. That is to say, in some embodiments, the chemical compound is not inherently associated with the article but is added in order to, for example, identify a characteristic of the article.

  • Patent number: 11189915
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an implantable electronic device including a housing containing an electrical circuit. The implantable electronic device further includes an antenna assembly coupled to the electrical circuit. The antenna assembly includes an antenna including a dielectric antenna body within which an antenna trace is disposed. Portions of the antenna trace are disposed in offset transverse layers in a non-overlapping arrangement, thereby reducing capacitive coupling between the layers of the antenna trace. In certain implementations, the antenna assembly includes one or more capacitive features that selectively overlap portions of the antenna trace and facilitate tuning of the antenna.

  • Publication number: 20210174970
    Abstract: An Integrated Virtual Patient Framework (IVPF) for providing decision support that evolves with increasing data collected on a given patient. Support decisions for patients with limited data is made using statistical prediction tools derived from historical trajectories of similar patients. As patient histories grow, decision support is provided by mathematical models that constrain the possible dynamics of the patient to more detailed predictive models. Weights for each model are assigned depending on uncertainties arising from data fitting and model properties. As new data are entered into a patient record, the models are recalibrated and the weights are adjusted, leading to updated decision support information. The framework also suggests the benefit of additional follow-up data collection events, optimizing the data collection as well as how the IVPF generates predictions. The framework also may present scenarios to patients in a way that informs them of treatment outcomes, given various strategies.
