Abstract: A user interface application displays a series of digital images in a display space. A user interface receives input to select one of the series of digital images, or portion thereof. The user-selected digital image, or portion thereof, is displayed in a location with the field of view of the displayed series of digital images or display space. While the user interface application continues to display the series of digital images in the display space, an application, such as a chatbot, searches one or more digital data sources for, and retrieves, contextual information based on the displayed user-selected digital images or portion thereof, without receiving user input to perform the searching.

Abstract: A “dry” packaging in which a prosthetic heart valve is packaged within a container with hydrogel that can be provided in many forms. Certain embodiments include hydrogel that is preloaded with glycerol or the like. The hydrogel regulates the humidity within the container through a diffusion-driven mechanism if a gradient of humidity between the inside and the outside of the hydrogel exists. Humidity regulation is important to prevent the tissue of the valve structure from drying out. When the partially-hydrated hydrogel is present within container, which is saturated with air of a predefined humidity, the water molecules from the air will be absorbed by the hydrogel if the air humidity is high (i.e. when the thermodynamics favor hydrogel hydration) or vice versa. Various embodiments are configured to also house at least a portion of a delivery device for delivering the prosthetic heart valve.

Abstract: A method for setting up a virtual ad hoc network for transmitting at least one piece of information to a first transportation vehicle as a first network subscriber. The method includes the information being provided based on first data from at least one second network subscriber, and at least one second network subscriber being a second transportation vehicle or an infrastructure component; wherein a motor-vehicle-external, central data processing device receives second data from multiple potential second network subscribers and takes the second data and at least one space-time parameter as a basis for determining the second network subscribers and setting up the virtual ad hoc network with the first transportation vehicle, as the first network subscriber, and the determined second network subscribers, the space-time parameter defining a specific area of relevance that has a predetermined physical and temporal correlation with the current position of the first transportation vehicle.

Abstract: A user interface application displays digital data content in a display space. While the user interface application continues to display the digital data content in the display space, an application, such as a chatbot, searches one or more digital data sources for, and retrieves, contextual information based on the displayed digital data content, without receiving user input to perform the searching.

Abstract: A method for trading a non-fungible token (NFT) among a plurality of blockchains includes minting an NFT based on digital content at a first blockchain, transferring the NFT to a second blockchain, trading the NFT between the second blockchain and a third blockchain, which is incompatible with the first blockchain, and recording the trade in the second blockchain.
