Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to prosthetic valves having a frame, a frame cover, and a leaflet construct. Some aspects are directed to a diametric taper for the prosthetic valve for achieving enhanced performance of the prosthetic valve under operational conditions, enhanced compressibility and delivery characteristics, and other additional or alternative advantages. Other aspects are directed toward unique assembly and attachment methods for securing leaflet constructs to support structures. Other aspects are directed toward features for interacting with transcatheter delivery systems. Still other aspects are directed to such apparatuses, systems, and methods for valve replacement, such as cardiac valve replacement.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to an on-demand intelligent assistant that obtains physical identifiers of a target individual using information received from sensors. The assistant determines an identity of the target individual using the physical identifiers. The assistant also caches the physical identifiers and the identity as baseline information of the target individual. The assistant further detects keywords used in communications of a user with the target individual. Moreover, the assistant determines that the user desires additional information of the target individual based on the keywords. Additionally, the assistant determines a query for the additional information using the baseline information and the keywords. Further, the assistant retrieves the additional information from a remote database using the query and provides the additional information to the user.
