Patent number: 11973769Abstract: An anomaly detection system is disclosed. In an embodiment, the anomaly detection system includes an anomaly detection module and a warning indicator module. The anomaly detection module includes one or more auto-encoders that receive sensor data from a plurality of sensors. Each of the one or more auto-encoders receives sensor data from at least three different sensors of the plurality of sensors. By receiving data output from at least three of the sensors, the auto-encoder can recognize expected inter-related patterns from the sensor output. The warning indicator module compares an output of a given auto-encoder of the plurality of auto-encoders to an input of the given auto-encoder to obtain an error value, and then compares that error value against an error threshold. In response to the error value exceeding the error threshold, the warning indicator module issues a warning signal associated with the sensor data received by the given auto-encoder.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2020Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration Inc.Inventors: Vu T.

Patent number: 11963871Abstract: Devices and methods for crimping a prosthetic heart valve onto a delivery device are described. In some embodiments, valves are crimped over an inflatable balloon and between proximal and distal shoulders mounted on a shaft inside the balloon. Crimping methods can include multiple compression steps with the valve located in different axial positions relative to the crimping jaws at each different step. In some methods, the valve may extend partially outside of the crimping jaws during certain crimping steps, such that the crimping force is only applied to the part of the valve that is inside the jaws. Exemplary crimping devices can include two or more adjacent sets of jaws that close down to different inner diameters, such that different parts of a valve get compressed to different outer diameters at the same time during a single crimping step.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2022Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: EDWARDS LIFESCIENCES CORPORATIONInventors: Nicholas Brandon Aders, Kristen Hicks, Gil Senesh, Michael R.

Publication number: 20240106849Abstract: A device receives network segment information identifying network segments associated with a network, and receives endpoint host session information identifying sessions associated with endpoint hosts communicating with the network. The device generates, based on the network segment information and the endpoint host session information, a data structure that includes information associating the network segments with the sessions associated with the endpoint hosts. The device updates the data structure based on changes in the sessions associated with the endpoint hosts and based on changes in locations of the endpoint hosts within the network segments, and identifies, based on the data structure, a particular endpoint host, of the endpoint hosts, that changed locations within the network segments.

Patent number: 11931259Abstract: Disclosed herein are expandable introducer sheaths and methods of making and using the same. The sheaths minimize trauma to a patient's vasculature by allowing for temporary expansion of a portion of the sheath to accommodate passage of a delivery system for an implant, then return to a non-expanded state after the passage of the device. The sheath includes a foldable inner member having a detached flap structure at its distal tip that facilitates expansion of the sheath lumen to increased diameters, and an elastomeric distal end that reduces push and retrieval forces therethrough. The sheath can include a hemostasis seal on its proximal end to prevent the leakage of blood out of the sheath and prevent ballooning of outer layer of the sheath.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2020Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: EDWARDS LIFESCIENCES CORPORATIONInventors: Thanh Huy Le, Tung T.
