  • Publication number: 20240065836
    Abstract: Components for valve treatment systems are disclosed. Valve treatment systems can include a delivery system for an implantable device. The delivery system can include one or more of clasp control components slidably disposed on a catheter handle, a control element for opening and closing the implantable device, a catheter assembly with features to reduce friction with another catheter assembly, grips for attaching catheter assemblies to clamps, catheter assemblies with features that stiffen or provide variable stiffness, and catheter assemblies with one or more steering control lumens incorporated into a reinforcement layer.

  • Publication number: 20140229578
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a feature of a content-item-uploading system that enables a user to instruct the content-item-uploading system to provide a link to a content item after the content item finishes uploading to an online content management system (for example, to their Dropboxâ„¢). During operation, the system receives an instruction to upload the content item to the online content management system. In response to the instruction, the system commences uploading of the content item. Then, the system receives another instruction to communicate the link to a designated recipient, where the link specifies a location from which the designated recipient can download the content item. After the content item finishes uploading, the system communicates the link to the designated recipient.

  • Patent number: 6237114
    Abstract: A computer system used in monitoring another computer system provides both textual resolution information describing a likely solution for a problem encountered in the monitored computer system as well as component information that relates to the particular problem. The component information includes the various hardware, software and operating conditions found in the monitored computer system. The monitoring computer system determines if a condition of a predetermined severity exists in the monitored computer system according to diagnostic information provided from the monitored computer system. The diagnostic information is represented in the monitoring computer system as a hierarchical representation of the monitored computer system. The hierarchical representation provides present state information indicating the state of hardware and software components and operating conditions of the monitored computer system.

  • Patent number: 6182249
    Abstract: A monitoring system generates alerts indicating predefined conditions exist in a computer system. Alerts are generated by comparing alert definitions to a host state representing the state of the hardware and software components of a computer system. to determine if conditions defined in the alert definitions exist in the host state; and generating alerts accordingly. The host state is a static tree structure including elements in a fixed hierarchical relationship, the elements being given value by associated tokens, the elements and associated tokens representing the hardware and software components of the computer system. The alert definitions generate alerts according to the values of at least one token, at least one alert or a combination of various tokens and/or alerts. The host state is created by providing a static tree structure representing a general computer system.

  • Patent number: 6154128
    Abstract: A test to detect a predetermined condition in a remotely monitored computer system is created by selecting, via interactions between a user and a graphical user interface, at least one system parameter from a list of available system parameters where each of the system parameters represents a hardware or software component of the remotely monitored computer system. The user selects, via interactions with the graphical user interface, at least one operator from a plurality of operators to operate on the at least one system parameter. The user connects the at least one operator and the at least one system parameter to generate a graphical representation of the test.
