  • Publication number: 20240129273
    Abstract: A map of IP addresses of a distributed cloud computing network to one or more groupings is stored. The IP addresses are anycast IP addresses for which compute servers of the distributed cloud computing network share. These IP addresses are to be used as source IP addresses when transmitting traffic to destinations external to the cloud computing network. The map is made available to external destinations. Traffic is received at the distributed cloud computing network that is destined to an external destination. An IP address is selected based on the characteristic(s) applicable for the traffic and the map. The distributed cloud computing network transmits the traffic to the external destination using the selected IP address.

  • Patent number: 8366743
    Abstract: An occlusion device has a right disc made from a metal mesh having a plurality of openings, and a left disc having at least two skeletons that are covered by a membrane. Each skeleton passes through openings of the metal mesh to interlock the right and left discs, and a coil is wrapped around each opposing end segment of the skeletons. The skeletons can have a looped section where the skeleton is twisted or looped to cross or overlap itself. In addition, each skeleton can be formed from a braided strand of a plurality of wires.

  • Publication number: 20060200196
    Abstract: The present invention relates to heart septal defect occlusion devices with adjustable length tether which can adapt the interseptal length of the device to the unique anatomy of the patient. The right disc as recited in the present invention is made from a double-deck metal mesh with contraction function, and the left disc is made from at least two skeletons covered by membranes. The two discs are active linked together. Because the connection of the two discs has gimbal function and the distance between the two discs may expand and contract suitably, the device can adapt to the unique anatomy of the patient. Therefore the two discs may attach to the heart valves closely and increase its closing ability. Furthermore it can reduce the thrombus and operate more easily.
