Abstract: Techniques are described for integrating predictive models into applications, to enable the applications to provide predictive functionality. Using the framework according to implementations, predictive models and their supporting libraries may be incorporated into applications without requiring application developers to be knowledgeable regarding the particular features of the predictive models and/or libraries. The framework exposes a common and consistent application programming interface (API) on top of the predictive libraries. Applications can use the API to interact with the predictive models, thus enabling the applications to leverage predictive functionality. Implementations also provide an API which may be used by applications to request the retraining of predictive models.

Abstract: A perfusion cannula constructed of a wire mesh or other structure having an expandable portion capable of expanding from a constricted state to an expanded state such that a vessel is stented open while permitting fluid flow through a cannula into the vessel.
