  • Publication number: 20230072121
    Abstract: A quick-connect heart valve prosthesis that can be quickly and easily implanted during a surgical procedure is provided. The heart valve includes a substantially non-expandable, non-compressible prosthetic valve and a plastically-expandable frame, thereby enabling attachment to the annulus without sutures. A small number of guide sutures may be provided for aortic valve orientation. The prosthetic valve may be a commercially available valve with a sewing ring with the frame attached thereto. The frame may expand from a conical deployment shape to a conical expanded shape, and may include web-like struts connected between axially-extending posts. A system and method for deployment includes an integrated handle shaft and balloon catheter. A valve holder is stored with the heart valve and the handle shaft easily attaches thereto to improve valve preparation steps.

  • Publication number: 20220398635
    Abstract: A preliminary software feature is applied in a testing rollout to a discrete subset of customers. Survey data may be collected from those customers through a variety of sources, such as chatbot text, session workflow, historical user data, social media data, email survey data, user profile data, messaging threads, and the like. This survey data is analyzed using machine learning algorithms to derive the meaning of input text as well as to determine the user sentiment expressed therein. The outputs of this analysis are normalized across sources and aggregated at a feature-level to generate overall metrics of customer satisfaction with the feature. A holistic analysis is performed on this customer sentiment data to obtain an aggregate or combined user satisfaction score. This score is applied against a set of guardrails to determine whether to ship the feature to a broader customer base.

  • Publication number: 20220138880
    Abstract: This invention innovates an integrated instructional educational methodology called (An)x-to-One training model to students both in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (“STEM”) or other fields of education and in leadership development into one professional integrated training program. The system has testimonial feedbacks for effective and positive results when providing training for a wide range of students from children to adults. Examples of the present educational model can be particularly useful for high school students, undergraduate students who are learning STEM, and in interaction with formal working employees through the system's integration of many kinds of events and social activities. The system uses formation of an advisor team and labs to enhance leadership training as well as a follow up service which provides support to students.
