  • Publication number: 20240081998
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to the field of medical devices for treating heart disease. In particular, the present disclosure relates to medical devices, systems, and methods for delivering artificial chordae tendineae in a patient. A system for delivering a chordae tendineae into a heart may include a delivery catheter. A clamp catheter may be configured to translate through the delivery catheter. A spreader may be disposed on the clamp catheter. A first clamp may be at least partially contained in the spreader in a closed configuration and may be attached to the chordae tendineae. An anchor catheter may be configured to translate through the delivery catheter and may have an anchor attached to the chordae tendineae. A sheath may be extended over the anchor catheter and anchor and may be configured to restrain an arm of the anchor.

  • Patent number: 11647116
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for automated agent behavior recommendations for call quality improvement. The method performed at a server includes receiving a first data record and a second data record of a plurality of data records, each comprising communication between a first party and a second party and determining a first communication originated from the first party. The method includes determining a category for each section of the plurality of sections of the first communication, and a plurality of behavior distances between different categories associated with the plurality of sections. The method includes augmenting first metadata of the first data record and second metadata of the second data record to include associated behavior distances and determining an average performance ranking of the first party to generate a recommendation to increase the average performance ranking of the first party above a preconfigured threshold.

  • Patent number: 9291585
    Abstract: A technique facilitates the monitoring of thermodynamic properties of reservoir fluids. The technique utilizes a modular sensor assembly designed to evaluate a sample of a hydrocarbon-containing fluid within a cell body. A variety of sensors may be selectively placed into communication with a sample chamber within the cell body to evaluate the sample at potentially high pressures and temperatures. The sensors may comprise a density-viscosity sensor located in-situ to efficiently measure both the density and viscosity of the sample as a function of pressure and temperature. Other sensors, such as an optic sensor, may also be positioned to measure parameters of the sample while the sample is retained in the sample chamber.
