Patent number: 11925549Abstract: A valve for endovascular heart valve repair that provides improved sealing of the valve against the native wall. The valve assembly has a sealing region at a distal end of the valve. The sealing region having a delivery position and a sealing position, wherein in the delivery position, the sealing region has a first length, and in the sealing position, the sealing region has a second length less than the first length and a thickness in the sealing position is greater in the sealing position than in the delivery position.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2019Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Anteris Technologies CorporationInventors: Andrew Reed, Dave Mathieu, William Morris Leonard Neethling

Publication number: 20230376856Abstract: The present disclosure provides efficient communication techniques for transmission of model updates within a machine learning framework, such as, for example, a federated learning framework in which a high-quality centralized model is trained on training data distributed overt a large number of clients each with unreliable network connections and low computational power. In an example federated learning setting, in each of a plurality of rounds, each client independently updates the model based on its local data and communicates the updated model back to the server, where all the client-side updates are used to update a global model. The present disclosure provides systems and methods that reduce communication costs. In particular, the present disclosure provides at least: structured update approaches in which the model update is restricted to be small and sketched update approaches in which the model update is compressed before sending to the server.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2023Publication date: November 23, 2023Inventors: Hugh Brendan McMahan, Dave Morris Bacon, Jakub Konecny, Xinnan Yu
