Abstract: Resorbable multifilament yarns and monofilament fibers including poly-4-hydroxybutyrate and copolymers thereof with high tenacity or high tensile strength have been developed. The yarns and fibers are produced by cold drawirg the multifilament, yarns and monofilament fibers before hot drawing the yarns and fibers under tension at temperatures above the melt temperature of the polymer or copolymer. These yarns and fibers have prolonged strength retention in vivo making them suitable for soft tissue repairs where high strength and strength retention is required. The multifilament yarns have tenacities higher than 8.1 grams per denier, and in vivo, retain at least 65% of their initial strength at 2 weeks. The monofilament fibers retain at least 50% of their initial strength at 4 weeks in vivo. The monofilament fibers have tensile strengths higher than 500 MPa. These yarns and fibers may be used to make various medical devices for various applications.

Abstract: An exemplary multi-threaded memory management system comprises a memory management unit (MMU) configured with a plurality of physical address (PA) output ports individually dedicated to a respective plurality of threads, wherein the MMU is configured to adjust scheduling of the plurality of threads based on the status of an item requested from a cache. The MMU may be configured to translate a virtual address (VA) input from an individual thread to a PA output on the respective PA output port. The cache may be a translation look-aside buffer. The item requested from the cache may be in transient status when a response is expected or valid status when the response is received. The MMU may signal a thread scheduler to run a thread when a requested item's status becomes valid, permitting stalling individual threads without blocking other threads that continue running using the PA output port dedicated to each thread.

Abstract: A system for dynamically balancing power in a battery pack during charging and discharging includes a battery pack, a control unit, and a load unit. The battery pack includes one or more modules. Each module includes one or more bricks. Each brick includes one or more blocks connected either in a series configuration or in a parallel configuration. Each block includes one or more cells. The control unit is connected with the battery pack across each of the blocks for processing power from each of the blocks irrespective of a power mismatch between the blocks. The control unit dynamically balances the power in the battery pack by controlling a differential current from a block with higher state of charge (SOC) to a block of lower SOC, using one or more converters and thereby maximizing available energy of the battery pack during charging and discharging.

Abstract: Expandable absorbable implants have been developed that are suitable for breast reconstruction following mastectomy. The implants can be implanted in the vicinity of a tissue expander, for example, by suturing to the detached edge of the pectoralis major muscle to function as a pectoralis extender, and used to form a sling for a tissue expander. The implants, which permit tissue-ingrowth and slowly degrade, can be expanded in the breast using a tissue expander in order to form a pocket for a permanent breast implant. After expansion, the tissue expander can be removed and replaced with a permanent breast implant. The expandable implants help reduce patient discomfort resulting from tissue expansion, and avoid the need to use allografts or xenografts to create the pocket for the tissue expander. The expandable absorbable implant preferably comprises poly-4-hydroxybutyrate or copolymer thereof.

Abstract: Methods to produce laminates including layers of constructs made from P4HB and copolymers thereof have been developed. These laminates may be used as medical implants, or further processed to make medical implants. The laminates are produced at a temperature equal to or greater than the softening points of the P4HB or copolymers thereof. The layers may include oriented forms of the constructs. Orientation can be preserved during lamination so that the laminate is also oriented, when the laminates are formed at temperatures less than the de-orientation temperatures of the layers. The laminate layers may include, for example, films, textiles, including woven, knitted, braided and non-woven textiles, foams, thermoforms, and fibers. The laminates preferably include one or more oriented P4HB films.

Abstract: An automated agent may communicate with a user via a chat channel to proactively alert the user of an L1 IT support issue. The L1 IT support issue may be determined based on monitoring indications of human-initiated activities maintained by a system of record, and may, prior to the automated agent's alert, be unknown to the user. In some instances, a natural language understanding (NLU) module may be used to identify an entity and intent from the indications of human-initiated activities, and the L1 IT support issue may be determined based on the determined entity and intent. After alerting the user of the Ll IT support issue, the automated agent may inform, via the chat channel, the user of a remediation step available to address the L1 IT support issue. Upon obtaining the user's permission, the automated agent may perform the remediation step to address the L1 IT support issue.
