Abstract: Systems and methods include the following. Information about a first electronic communication device is transmitted to at least one server and/or decentralized infrastructure. The information includes vicinity information. A status signal associated with a first user of the first electronic communication device is optionally transmitted. Contact proximity network information about a contact proximity network is received. The contact proximity network is based on the information from a plurality of electronic communication devices and information about the association between users and electronic communication devices. The contact proximity network information includes status signal information and interconnected nodes corresponding to different users and pairwise connections between users based upon their relative physical space and time proximity.

Abstract: A device mounting system includes a device bracket coupled to a device, and a support surface mount coupled to the device bracket. The support surface mount includes a base member mounted to a support surface, a securing member extending from the base member, and a securing latch that is included in the securing member and that moves between a secured orientation in which it engages the device bracket to secure the device bracket to the support surface mount, and an unsecured orientation that allows the device bracket to be decoupled from the support surface mount. A release member in the securing member may be actuated to move the securing latch between the secured and unsecured orientations. A locking element in the securing member may be actuated to prevent movement of the securing latch from the secured to the unsecured orientation to lock the device bracket to the support surface mount.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing an online application database and application search. Search queries for applications are received from users. Unfulfilled queries are stored in memory. The platform identifies one or more application features based on the search queries within the stored unfulfilled queries, and generates an application build recommendation specifying the one or more application features. The application build recommendation is output to one or more developer accounts. If a new application is received, the platform may determine whether the new application contains features that sufficiently correspond to the features in one of the application build recommendations. User accounts that submitted the unfulfilled queries that served as the basis for the matching application build recommendation may be notified of the availability of the new application.

Abstract: Fixation device for engaging tissue including a pair of fixation elements, each fixation element has a first end and a second end opposite the first end, the first ends are moveable between a closed position and an open position. The fixation device further includes a pair of gripping elements. Each gripping element is moveable with a respective fixation element and disposed in opposition to at least a portion of the respective fixation element to capture tissue therebetween. The fixation device further includes a central portion operatively connected to each gripping element at a respective central portion-gripping element interface. The central portion has at least one distal end and a width “W1” proximate the distal end. Each of the gripping elements has a free end opposite its respective central portion-gripping element interface and a length “L1” defined between the respective central portion-gripping element interface and the free end.

Abstract: Fixation device for fixation of leaflets of a heart valve includes a central assembly and at least one arm moveably coupled relative to the central assembly. The at least one arm includes a deformable frame having a first end and a second end and a longitudinal axis defined therebetween, the second end being moveable between a closed position and an open position. The deformable frame further includes first and second deformable flex portions, each flex portion extending along a respective lateral side of the deformable frame and having a deformed condition and an undeformed condition, and each flex portion having an outer lateral edge. The at least one arm has a maximum deformed arm lateral cross-dimension with the flex portions in the deformed condition.
