Abstract: A stabilizer for use with a delivery system is provided. The stabilizer receives a delivery system, such as a handle portion, and prevents unwanted movement of the delivery system during a medical procedure. The stabilizer desirably includes an elongate rail that is adapted to be secured to a base or table. A rail dock is adapted to releasably couple to the delivery system. The rail dock is slidably mounted along an upper surface of the rail and includes a brake assembly. The brake assembly preferably includes a toggle member with at least one push button, wherein actuation of the push button may release or lock the brake assembly. Components of the stabilizer are provided for allowing the stabilizer to be used with different delivery systems and the stabilizer is capable of being secured to different sized tables.

Abstract: Systems for forming composite parts, methods of forming composite parts, and methods of precisely performing a plurality of operations on a composite part. The systems include a layup mandrel that includes a mandrel body and a plurality of regions of isotropic surface finish. The methods of forming the composite part include positioning a plurality of plies of composite material on a layup mandrel, conforming the plurality of plies of composite material to a layup surface shape of the layup mandrel, and curing the plurality of plies of composite material. The methods of precisely performing the plurality of operations on a composite part include detecting a corresponding imprinted feature of a plurality of imprinted features, aligning an operating assembly of an end effector relative to the corresponding imprinted feature, and performing a corresponding operation of the plurality of operations on the composite part.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a video of a user-defined virtual reality scene are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: obtain a scene definition; obtain camera information for multiple virtual cameras to be used in generating a two-dimensional presentation of the virtual reality scene; execute a simulation of the virtual reality scene from the scene definition for at least a portion of the scene duration; obtain camera timing instructions specifying which of the virtual cameras should be used to generate the two-dimensional presentation of the virtual reality scene as a function of progress through the scene duration; generate the two-dimensional presentation of the virtual reality scene in accordance with the camera timing instructions and the camera information.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for prosthetic valves. An implantation site may comprise a native heart valve or another implantation site in examples. Examples may be utilized for improved anchoring and sealing of flow (e.g., paravalvular leakage) with a native heart valve having calcification. Examples may reduce the possibility of obstruction of a left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) of a heart, whether resulting from implantation of a prosthetic valve or otherwise.

Abstract: An apparatus can include an interface member that can couple with a first busbar of a first header of a battery pack. The interface member can couple with a second busbar of a second header of the battery pack.

Abstract: An exemplary mobile apparatus for assessing an operating condition of an asset. The mobile device includes at least one sensor device for acquiring data related to one or more operational or environmental characteristics of an asset during operation. The mobile device further includes a processing device encoded with a neural network architecture having one or more models trained to identify one or more operating conditions of one or more assets according to asset type. The processing device can determine an operating condition of the asset by extracting features from the acquired data and comparing attributes of the extracted features to attributes of at least one known operating condition determined through training of the models. The mobile device can also include an output interface to output a result of the determination performed by the processing device, which can include communicating the result to a remote device.

Abstract: Embodiments of the inventive subject matter are directed to retirement plan optimization. By collecting client information, systems and methods of the inventive subject matter are configured to develop scenarios for a user. From those scenarios, multiple simulations can be run. Each scenario features scenario parameters, and each simulation features simulation parameters. Scenario parameters can include ranges of values or a set of different possible values. For a given scenario, many simulations can be run, where each simulation has a corresponding set of simulation parameters, and where each set of simulation parameters features set values for each of the scenario parameters for that scenario. After running multiple simulations for each scenario, high performing simulations can be identified based on a base case performance and based on one or more optimization goals. Once high performing simulations are identified, actionable retirement plans can be developed therefrom.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to displaying a visual representation of a stroke.

Abstract: Adapting automatic software update behavior for virtual desktop infrastructure deployed endpoints includes detecting a request for services of a threat management facility for an enterprise network that originates from a compute instance embodied as a virtual machine instantiated from a versioned software template, and updating software on the compute instance based on a determination of availability of updated software for the compute instance and an update pause parameter indicating that updating software for virtual machines instantiated from the versioned software template is permitted for the compute instance.

Abstract: One example method of operation may include identifying a number of profiles including respective recipient telephone numbers identified to be called within a period of time, forwarding a list of caller telephone numbers assigned to a caller entity to each of a number of mobile devices associated with the profiles, and placing calls to the respective mobile devices within the period of time, and the calls originate from a group of the caller telephone numbers included in the list.
