Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to stents, systems, and methods for anchoring devices within a body lumen by cooperation between the device and the body musculature. A device comprising an elongate tubular member may be deployed within a body lumen, where the body lumen includes a sphincter that regulates flow through the body lumen. The elongate tubular member includes a sleeve formed from a flexible membrane and one or more stents disposed at either or both ends of the sleeve. In some embodiments, the stents may be treatment stents configured to treat a portion of the body lumen. The elongate tubular member may be deployed within the body lumen such that the flexible membrane aligns with and moves in coordination with the sphincter, thereby increasing retention forces acting upon the elongate tubular member when the sphincter is closed to minimize treatment stent migration.

Abstract: A communications session with a user may be automated using a language model. The language model may be instructed to select a next action to be performed where the next action may include transmitting a responsive communication to the user or performing an API call. The prompt used to query the language model may include one or more of the following: a representation of text of the communications session, a list of available API calls, instructions to select a next action, a representation of API calls performed, or a representation of API call responses received. The language model may be sequentially queried to continue the communications session by transmitting responsive communications or performing API calls. In some implementations, a prompt template may be used to generate the prompt and a prompt template may be selected using text of the communications session.

Abstract: An overspray protection device has a housing which is engageable directly to a paint spray gun or to a conduit extending from the paint gun. An interior cavity of the housing provides a pathway for a stream of paint emitted by a spray nozzle to a surface being painted, which is protected from wind by a sidewall defining the shape of the housing and the interior cavity.

Abstract: Aberrations in stimulated emission depletion microscopy are corrected using an adaptive optics approach using a metric which combines both image sharpness and brightness. Light modulators (22,32) are used to perform aberration correction in one or more of the depletion path (10), the excitation path (12), or the emission path from sample to detector.

Abstract: An exemplary sealable storage bag for storing articles includes a bag wall defining a bag interior adapted to receive an article to be stored, and an opening arranged at a first end of the bag and communicating with the bag interior. A closure is arranged at the first end and is operable to substantially hermetically seal the opening. At least one air outlet valve is arranged in the bag wall and is operable to release air from the bag interior to an external environment. The air outlet valve has an open position for allowing air passage therethrough, and a closed position for blocking air passage therethrough. The bag wall is collapsible to facilitate compression of the bag into a compacted state for expelling air from the bag interior through the air outlet valve in the open position and when the opening is sealed by the closure. Related methods of storing articles are also disclosed.

Abstract: A VoiceXML Dialog Engine (“VDE”) is employed to handle requests via a brokered session from a media communications server. The VDE interfaces with one or more information providers, such as a script server or an audio server, in order to service the requests received via the brokered session. The VDE can provide a response to the requests to the media communications server based on information retrieved from the information providers.
