Abstract: A stent including a tubular body having first and second opposing open ends and a lumen extending therebetween. The stent including a first anchor member disposed adjacent the first open end and a second anchor member disposed adjacent the second open end, the first and second anchor members spaced apart by a saddle region of the tubular body, the first and second anchor members each extending radially outward from the tubular body, the first and second anchor members each have an outer diameter larger than an outer diameter of the saddle region disposed between the first and second anchor members. Each of the first and second anchor members include an outer wall, and an inner wall spaced apart from the outer wall, and the tubular body is defined by only a single wall.

Abstract: An implantable medical device, such as a stent, having a dynamic feature allowing movement of one or both of the ends of the implantable medical device relative to the intermediate section therebetween. The implantable medical device may be sized, shaped, configured, and/or dimensioned to hold anatomical structures in apposition. The dynamic section allows relative movement of the apposed anatomical structures without causing migration of the ends of the implantable medical device which are anchored with respect to the anatomical structures.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Crapemyrtle plant named ‘JM1’, characterized by its upright to somewhat outwardly spreading plant habit; freely branching habit; vigorous and sturdy growth habit; dark green-colored leaves; numerous inflorescences with dark red to dark red purple-colored flowers; and good garden performance and pathogen resistance.

Abstract: The present invention is a paint roller system comprising a frame, a paint roller that may be supported by the frame. The frame may not include any moving parts. The paint roller may have end caps incorporated therein or connected thereto that may prevent liquids from entering the paint roller. The paint roller system of the present invention may be configured to prevent paint becoming lodged in elements of the paint roller system, and to prevent corrosion or plugging. The paint roller may rotate substantially freely when positioned within the frame. The paint roller system may be utilized to adhere paint to a surface with minimal effort or force being applied by a user. The paint roller system may include a paint roller container operable for storage of a paint roller as well as engagement and disengagement of the paint roller from the frame without the user handling the paint roller directly.

Abstract: A new and distinct Ilex plant named ‘EN2’, characterized by its uniform and mounding plant habit; freely branching habit; dense and bushy growth habit; glossy medium green-colored leaves; and good garden performance.

Abstract: A new and distinct Ilex plant named ‘EN1’, characterized by its compact, uniform and mounding plant habit; freely branching habit; dense and bushy growth habit; glossy medium green-colored leaves; and good garden performance.

Abstract: Systems and methods for performing authority based content searching are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method comprises receiving user queries containing authority keywords and relevancy keywords and ranking a set of search results on the basis of the authority of the authors of entries within the search results. The authority of each author is expressed in an authority quotient which is calculated by determining an authority keyword score, a name score, a domain name score and a credential score based on the authority keyword provided by the user.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method may include receiving first monitored information relating to a user at a time of initial user authentication with a particular application or resource. It may be determined that a second authentication is required at a second time subsequent to the time of initial user authentication. Second monitored information may be captured at the second time. The second monitored information may be compared to the first monitored information to determine whether continued authentication is maintained. Access to the particular application or resource when it is determined that continued authentication is not maintained.
