Abstract: Techniques described herein relate to automatically generating standard network device configurations. In one example, one or more groups of network device configuration blocks may be obtained. An analysis of the one or more groups of network device configuration blocks may be performed, including identifying respective frequencies associated with respective network device configuration blocks of the one or more groups of network device configuration blocks. Based on the respective frequencies, one or more network device configuration blocks of the one or more groups of network device configuration blocks may be automatically aggregated into a standard network device configuration.

Abstract: A collapsible medical device and associated methods of occluding an abnormal opening in, for example, a body organ, wherein the medical device is shaped from plural layers of a heat-treatable metal fabric. Each of the fabric layers is formed from a plurality of metal strands and the assembly is heat-treated within a mold in order to substantially set a desired shape of the device. By incorporating plural layers in the thus-formed medical device, the ability of the device to rapidly occlude an abnormal opening in a body organ is significantly improved.
