  • Patent number: 11886529
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for diagnosing website quality. The method can include analyzing, by a computing system, a website to determine a current value for a quality score of the website, identifying issues with the website, providing information to cause a client device to present: (i) a circle graphical element that indicates the current value, a first portion of the circle's circumference being a size that indicates the current value, and (ii) indications of categories of issues with the website that each include different sets of issues, receiving an indication that user input at the client device selected a user-selected category, determining a target value for the quality score that would result should all issues within the user-selected category be resolved, and providing information to cause the client device to add a target element at a location on the circle's circumference that represents the target value.

  • Patent number: 11886530
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for assessing website quality based on automated website analysis. A method can include identifying, by a computing system, a website to evaluate, retrieving code for webpages of the website from one or more web server systems that host the website, locally executing and interpreting the code to render the webpages as they would appear on client devices, identifying webpage segment criteria, analyzing the webpages to identify a subset of webpages that include a segment satisfying the webpage segment criteria, identifying a quality issue in the segment that is present in each webpage in the subset, determining a quantity of times the quality issue occurs across the subset of webpages, and providing information to a client device to cause the client device to present an indication of the issue and an indication of the quantity of times the issue occurs across the subset of webpages.

  • Publication number: 20230157823
    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods related to various heart valve implants and for delivery of those heart valve implants are described. The implants may be used to re-size a native valve annulus or to replace a native heart valve. The implants include a re-sizable frame having angled struts. Anchors secure the implant to tissue and collars are used to decrease the angle between the struts and contract the frame. The implant thus expands from a first size inside of a delivery catheter, to a second and larger deployed size inside the heart to engage and anchor with the tissue, and then to a third and contracted size to re-size the annulus and/or provide a secure fit for a replacement heart valve. Various delivery systems including imaging capabilities for precise delivery, positioning and anchoring of the various implants are further described.

  • Patent number: 11576776
    Abstract: The present disclosure includes a device for reshaping a heart valve. The device may include a central ring about a central axis and a plurality of arms coupled to the central ring, each of the arms coupled to the central ring at a pivot point at a first end of the arm, the arm comprising an attachment feature at a second point along the arm, the pivot point configured to allow movement of the arm about the pivot point through a plane extending radially from the central axis through the arm. Additionally, the plurality of arms may be contractable and may be extendable such that the hooks extend beyond a dilated heart valve. The present disclosure also includes associated methods and systems.

  • Patent number: 11432927
    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods related to various heart valve implants and for delivery of those implants are described. The implants may be used to re-size a native valve annulus or to replace a native heart valve. The implants include a re-sizable frame having angled struts. The implant is secured to tissue with anchors that can rotate without axial advancement to engage tissue while drawing the implant closer to the tissue. Collars are used to decrease the angle between struts of a frame to contract the implant. The implants can include a rotatable shaft, such as a threaded shaft, located internally to an axially translatable collar. Rotation of the shaft transmits force to the collar to cause the collar to translate axially, closing the angle of adjacent struts and decreasing the width of the implant and thus of the annulus. The implants can be delivered, secured and contracted via a catheter. The implants are repositionable and retrievable via catheter.

  • Patent number: 11241309
    Abstract: Methods related to delivery of various heart valve implants are described. The implant may be delivered using an ultrasound imaging delivery system. The ultrasound imaging delivery system may be used to deliver a variety of different devices, including mitral valve reshaping devices, mitral valve replacement valves, and others. A deployment catheter carrying an implant having a tissue anchor is advanced to a deployment site in a heart. An imaging element is positioned adjacent the implant and a relationship between the tissue anchor and an anatomical landmark in the heart is visualized. The implant is then attached by driving the tissue anchor into tissue in the heart.
