Abstract: A prosthetic heart valve includes an annular frame that is radially collapsible and expandable between a radially collapsed configuration and a radially expanded configuration. The frame has a plurality of circumferentially extending rows of angled struts, each row of angled struts comprising angled struts arranged in a zig-zag pattern. The prosthetic heart valve further includes a leaflet structure positioned within the frame and secured thereto, and an outer sealing member mounted outside of the frame. The sealing member has an undulating outflow edge portion forming a plurality of triangular projections that are connected to and shaped to correspond to the zig-zag pattern of one of the rows of angled struts. The outer sealing member is sized to fit snugly against the outer surface of the frame when the frame is in the expanded configuration.

Abstract: A system for integrating trading account security with associate investment policy (AIP) governance is provided. The system includes a processor, a receiver, and a series of containers. The receiver may receive an associate trade request including an associate social security number (SSN), an associate name, a name of a security to which the trade request is directed, a last security purchase data, the last security purchase data associated with the security, and a broker dealer name. The employee may be a private side employee. The system may include a series of containers for storing microservices. The containers communicate with a database engine. The trade request may be industry compliant and employer regulations compliant. The processor may transmit a fully compliant trade request to an employer platform. Following receipt of a trade request confirmation from the employer platform, the associate trading platform may execute the trade request.

Abstract: A computer system for integrating trading account security with associate investment policy (AIP) governance is provided. The system includes a processor and a receiver. A received trade request may include an associate social security number, an associate name, a security name, a last security purchase data, and a broker dealer name. The employee may be a private side employee. The processor may use a series of containers in electronic communication with a database or database engine to determine that the trade request is industry compliant and employer regulations compliant. When the trade request is determined to be non-compliant, then the processor may electronically message or e-mail the employee 1) a trade denial and 2) insider trading mitigation messages. Following a determination that the trade request is fully compliant; the processor may transmit the trade request to an employer trading platform and prompt the associate to execute the trade request.

Abstract: A system for integrating trading account security with associate investment policy (AIP) governance is provided, including a processor and a receiver for receiving an associate trade request. The trade request may include an associate social security number and name, a name of a security, a last security purchase data, the last data for the security, and a broker dealer name. The processor may determine that the employee is a private side employee and then use a series of containers in electronic communication with a database or engine to determine industry and employer regulations compliance, after which the processor may transmit the request to an employer trading platform and may include an instruction to allow executing the trade request within a pre-determined time period and prompting the associate with a selectable option to execute the trade request.

Abstract: Peptide inhibitors of the interleukin-23 receptor, and related compositions and methods of using these peptide inhibitors to treat or prevent a variety of diseases and disorders, including inflammatory bowel disease, are disclosed.

Abstract: A gap gauge is disclosed for facilitating an arthroplasty procedure on a first bone and a second bone of a patient. The gap gauge may include a first plate positionable in contact with the first bone, a second plate positionable in contact with the second bone. The second plate may be displaced from the first plate by a displacement. The gap gauge may further include a separator connected to the first plate and the second plate, a separation indicator coupled to the separator and configured to indicate the displacement, and a balance indicator connected to at least one of the first plate and the second plate. The balance indicator may indicate a balance status between the first plate and the second plate. The separator can be actuated to adjust the displacement.

Abstract: The invention relates to thioether monomer and dimer peptide molecules which inhibit binding of ?4?7 to the mucosal addressing cell adhesion molecule (MAdCAM) in vivo.

Abstract: A hybrid disposable face mask has a first mask section having a filter area sized and shaped to fit in overlapping relationship only about the mouth area of the wearer and a second mask section having inserts, one for each nostril, sized and shaped to be sealably retained air tight in each nostril. The second mask section can be linked to a valve assembly which opens during exhale and closes during inhale. The first mask section may be supported solely by the second mask section or by separate structure. The combination allows one to eat and drink while breathing through the nose filter.

The second plate may be displaced from the first plate by a displacement. The gap gauge may further include a balance indicator configured to indicate a balance status between the first plate and the second plate and a pin guide. The pin guide is configured to couple to one of the first plate and second plate and includes a pin hole that is configured to guide a pin for insertion into the second bone. The pin can be used to couple a cutting guide to the second bone to resect the second bone to adjust the balance status.

Abstract: A crop residue monitoring system may include a harvester, a camera to capture an image of crop residue generated by the harvester, an analytical unit to derive a value for a crop residue parameter of the crop residue based upon an optical analysis of the image and a control unit to adjust a subsequent field operation based upon the value of the crop residue parameter.

Abstract: A knee joint prosthesis may be for implantation in a knee of a patient. The knee prosthesis may comprise a tibial component configured to be implanted on the tibia and a femoral component configured to be implanted on the femur. The femoral component may comprise a medial condyle with a medial articulation surface and a lateral condyle with a lateral articulation surface. The medial articulation surface and the lateral articulation surface may be shaped substantially symmetrically to each other across a femoral component plane bisecting the femoral component. The tibial component may comprise an articulation surface with a medial articulation side configured to articulate with the medial articulation surface and a lateral articulation side configured to articulate with the lateral articulation surface. The medial articulation side and the lateral articulation side may be shaped substantially asymmetrically to each other across a tibial component plane bisecting the tibial component.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of integration and compensation in a protection relay. The method may include the protection relay: receiving a measured signal from a Rogowski coil and converting the measured signal to digitized samples, where the measured signal is a differentiated current signal over time; iteratively computing integrated current data from the digitized samples using a first digitized function to obtain integrated value; iteratively computing a compensated current data from the integrated current data using a second digitized function to remove a DC component in the integrated current data; evaluating the compensated current data to identify a fault condition; generating a trip signal on identification of a fault condition to operate a switch to electrically disconnect to protect the power equipment. The steps of integration and compensation may be performed in time window that is within the time period of the measured signal.
