Abstract: A delivery system for deploying a medical implant includes a delivery wire assembly disposed within a delivery catheter lumen, the assembly having an implant loading region configured for seating the implant when the assembly is constrained within the delivery catheter lumen and the implant is in a compressed configuration, the assembly further including an implant distal protection having a central portion coupled to the assembly, distal of the implant loading region, and a peripheral portion extending proximally from the central portion to at least partially cover a distal end portion of the implant when the assembly, implant and distal protection are constrained within the catheter lumen, wherein the peripheral portion remains extending in the proximal direction when the implant assumes an expanded configuration after being released from the catheter lumen, and the peripheral portion of the distal protection comprises a plurality of stems, each comprising a respective petal-like member.

Abstract: A database system may include a data storage configured to store one or more data sets and a processor coupled to the data storage. The processor may receive a query for first data included in the one or more data sets and access the data storage to obtain the first data based on the query. The processor may transmit the first data to a user system. The processor may receive an indication of a filter request to filter the first data based on a characteristic. The processor may identify linked data within second data based on the characteristic, the linked data linked to a portion of the first data associated with the filter request. The processor may access the data storage to obtain the linked data and transmit the linked data to the user system, to enable updating of a data presentation to display the linked data.

Abstract: A setting for jewelry is described that includes a gemstone and a reflective element. The gemstone and reflective element define central points that are aligned with a central axis. The reflective element directs ambient light towards a pavilion of the gemstone to provide additional light and increase the appearance of brilliance within the gemstone. The reflective element can be made of diamond or metal. A method of directing light from a reflective element of a setting to a gemstone is also described. The method includes providing one or more reflective elements that are aligned with the gemstone and angled for directing light towards the pavilion of the gemstone.
