  • Publication number: 20240058124
    Abstract: Delivery devices and methods for delivering a prosthetic heart valve. The delivery device includes an inner shaft assembly with a valve retainer, an outer shaft assembly, a handle assembly and an axial force adjustment assembly. The outer shaft assembly includes a capsule containing the prosthetic valve in a loaded state. The handle assembly is coupled to a proximal region of the outer shaft assembly. The axial force adjustment assembly connects a proximal section of the inner shaft assembly to the handle assembly, and is configured to selectively move the proximal section relative to the handle assembly. The axial force adjustment assembly can include an actuator member and a driver member. The driver member directly interfaces with the inner shaft assembly, and a force applied to the actuator member is transferred onto the proximal section via the driver member. A sensor for sensing tension and/or compression in the inner shaft assembly can be provided.

  • Publication number: 20210264371
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes talent-identification systems and methods that can be used by companies to assist in the recruitment process for new employees. Additionally, the systems and methods can be used by job seekers to determine ideal career fields and industries. The systems and methods may employ an array of neuroscience-based tests to assess a user's career propensities, after which the systems and methods can provide career recommendations to the user or report on employment suitability of the user to a company, and data structures, such as a role directed graph with nodes and links, each node associated with a node role, each link from a parent node to a child node representing a criterion for selecting the child node of that link based on a measurement derived from received input data.

  • Publication number: 20130036365
    Abstract: The invention describes a system and methodology for controlling multiple devices simultaneously from one control device. The control device is provided with a display having a plurality of windows, each having a visual representation related to the activity of the multiple devices. By relaying commands effected at the control device through a intermediary server, it is possible to simultaneously effect a corresponding processing of the same commands at each of the multiple devices. On effecting a command the multiple devices relay back, through the server, an image representative of the result of the processing of that command to the control device for display.

  • Patent number: 7467363
    Abstract: A method for verifying that a physical location of a memory matches a design logical representation, without having to use a focused ion beam to physically damage a memory location. The method provides that either a temporary or permanent circuit “defect” is intentionally created in the physical layout. Then, the new electrical schematic is extracted from the modified physical layout. Subsequently, if the design “defect” which was created is temporary, the new electrical schematic is simulated, the logical address of the “defect” is determined, and the extracted logical address is compared to the expected address to verify the logical to physical correlation. Alternatively, if the design “defect” which was created is permanent, after the new electrical schematic is extracted from the modified physical layout, the product is fabricated and the known design “defect” location is used to correlate to the electrically-tested defect logical location.

  • Publication number: 20070124628
    Abstract: Improved methods for verifying that a physical location of a memory matches a design logical representation, without having to use a focused ion beam to physically damage a memory location. A first method provides that EMMI is used to identify the physical location of a failing memory bit. A second method provides that a physical location is damaged with a laser, as is used to open hard wired fuses, and then the DUT is electrically tested and the memory built in self test (MEM BIST) repair is used to identify the logical address for the damaged region. A third method provides that a physical location is damaged using an electrical test on the ATE that causes an onboard fuse element in the memory arrays to be broken through the application of a high voltage.

  • Publication number: 20070061637
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of fast bitmapping defective memory arrays in semiconductor integrated circuit dice formed on a wafer. The method involves loading a wafer onto automated test equipment. Initial production testing is then performed on each die of the wafer to determine whether the memory arrays of each die are functioning properly. Where a die is found to have at least one defective memory array, the particular memory arrays of the die that contain defect are specifically identified using BIST circuitry forming part of the die. Then selectively performed diagnostic testing is performed on only the failed memory arrays of each defective die to generate memory array defect data. The memory array defect data is used to generate bit maps of the failed memory arrays using the memory array data.

  • Publication number: 20060144923
    Abstract: An automated banking machine system and method includes ATMs which accept checks and dispense cash to users. The ATMs are operated to acquire image and magnetic data from deposited checks to determine the genuineness of checks and the authority of a user to receive cash for such checks. Cash may be dispensed to the user from the ATM in exchange for the deposited check. The ATMs dispense cash responsive to communications with a transaction host.
