Abstract: The present invention relates to a percutaneous blood pump (1) and an introducer system to be placed in the circulatory system of a patient e.g. using the Seldinger technique without the need of surgical access. The percutaneous blood pump (1) comprises a pump housing (11) inside which a radially pumping impeller (12) is arranged for rotation by means of a rotating flexible cable housed inside a protective flexible catheter (15) and attached to a bearing housing (21) in which a set of radial and axial bearings are housed and arranged for rotation by means of a flexible cable housed inside another protective flexible catheter (25) and driven by an electric motor (30) in a motor housing (31). In addition, an introducer system, comprising an expandable introducer is provided, arranged to facilitate easy and safe introduction of the percutaneous blood pump. The introducer system may comprise a hemostatic valve to limit blood loss during insertion and percutaneous blood pump use.

Abstract: A headgear assembly for retaining a respiratory mask on a user's face includes arrangements or components that allow for variation in a size of the headgear assembly. In some configurations, the headgear assembly includes one or more hubs, each of which are configured to connect a top and rear strap together. The size of the headgear assembly can be determined by the size or configuration of the hub. In other configurations, the headgear assembly comprises one or more spacer elements within one or more straps of the headgear. The size of the headgear assembly can be determined by the size of the spacer element or a relative position between the strap and the spacer element.

Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for geo-spatial analysis to determine boundaries of traffic regions and classifications of the boundaries for controlling drop-off/pick-up traffic. A determination is made of drop-off/pick-up points for vehicles in traffic regions in which vehicles dropped-off and/or picked-up passengers. Geo-spatial cluster analysis is applied to the determined drop-off/pick-up points to determine boundaries of the traffic regions having drop-off/pick-up points forming clusters of similar drop-off/pick-up point densities. A determination is made of a respective classification for each respective one of the boundaries. Each respective classification indicates a relative density of drop-off/pick-up points in its respective boundary relative to densities of drop-off/pick-up points in other one of the boundaries. Classification related information based on the determined classifications is communicated to use to control drop-off/pick-up traffic in the traffic regions.

Abstract: Light boards including one or more light emitting elements (e.g. light emitting diode (LED) devices) for use in lighting fixtures are disclosed. In one example implementation, a light board includes a first layer having a first surface and an opposing second surface. The light board includes one or more light emitting elements disposed on the first surface of the first layer. The light board includes one or more circuit elements located on the second surface of the first layer. The one or more circuit elements are associated with powering the one or more light emitting elements. The light board includes a second layer disposed on the second surface of the first layer such that the one or more circuit elements are located between the second surface of the first layer and the second layer.

Abstract: A computer system merges location-based data sets. Each of a plurality of data sets are transformed into a standardized schema, including at least two data sets including information indicating a geographic location. The schemas of the plurality of data sets are combined by data set type to produce a resulting data set for each data set type. The schemas of a first and second data sets are joined to produce a merged data set using a machine learning model to identify corresponding rows of the schemas. The schema of the merged data set is joined with the schemas of the resulting data sets for the data set types to produce a new data set. A resulting merged data set in the standardized schema is produced. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and program product for merging location-based data sets in substantially the same manner described above.
