Abstract: A replacement heart valve system and a method of implanting a replacement heart valve in a patient. The replacement heart valve system includes a radially self-expandable tubular body and a valve including a plurality of leaflets coupled to the tubular body. The tubular body includes interconnected struts defining circumferential rows of cells, and has an outflow end and an inflow end that flares radially outward so as to have a larger outer diameter than that of the outflow end. A first row of proximal-most cells formed at the inflow end includes circumferentially adjacent cells that are disconnected from each other so as to be spaced from each other in the circumferential direction. A method of implanting the replacement heart valve includes delivering from a delivery catheter the tubular body, and expanding the tubular body such that the proximal-most cells are disposed against the native heart valve annulus.

Abstract: A system and method for providing an electronic game. In some implementations, the game may include a card game and/or other type of game played with cards, tokens, and/or other gameplay objects. The players may play the game according to rules to achieve the goal of the game. By way of non-limiting example, the goal of the game may be to obtain the best (e.g., highest ranked) game spread which may include obtaining the strongest groupings of cards using the same set of cards the other player(s). In some implementations, rules of the game may provide that the same set of cards be distributed to each of the players playing the game. Thus, the outcome of the game may be based on skill and judgement instead of luck.

Abstract: A user interface on a mobile device includes an integrated communication region positioned within a viewable area of an application on the mobile device. The integrated communication region is configured to display a preview of content of a first message of a plurality of messages sent by a plurality of users. The first message is a most recent message of the plurality of messages. Visibility of the preview is persistent across a plurality of screens of the application. Across the plurality of screens of the application, (i) a position of the preview within the integrated communication region and (ii) the visibility of the preview remain unchanged until displaced by a second message. The second message is more recent than the first message.

Abstract: The invention provides for systems and methods for displaying integrated communication regions on a mobile device. The integrated communication regions can be persistent across screens within an application and across multiple applications. The persistent integrated communication regions can display announcements, messages, and broadcasts on a plurality of devices. The persistent nature of the communication regions can increase the impressions of the announcement, message, or broadcast.
