Abstract: An implant includes a support frame, having a compressed state, and an expanded state in which the support frame defines an opening therethrough, and is dimensioned to be placed against an upstream surface of a native heart valve. The implant includes a valve frame having a compressed state, and an expanded state in which the valve frame defines a lumen therethrough, and including a valve member disposed within the lumen. The valve frame is coupled to the support frame via a flexible sheet such that when the support and valve frames are in their expanded state, the valve frame is not in contact with the support frame. The implant is housed in the catheter for implanting transfemorally, with the valve frame closer to a distal end of the catheter than the support frame is to the distal end of the catheter. Other embodiments are also described.

Abstract: A gaming device includes a display assembly including a monitor controller board, a display panel, and a backlight for controlling a display brightness of the display panel and a display connector providing communication between a processor of the device and the monitor controller board. The processor is programmed to determine that a trigger condition has occurred, identify a brightness command based upon the trigger condition and a lookup in a memory, and transmit the brightness command to the monitor controller board. The brightness command causes the monitor controller board to control the backlight to increase the display brightness from a first brightness level to a second brightness level. The processor further causes display at the display panel of an animation associated with the trigger condition in synchronization with the increase in the display brightness.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for performing in-flight transformations of data streams. Complex event processing (CEP) operating on event records from various data streams can operate by storing the streamed event record data in a database, and then querying the data to perform a data transformation. However, in order to improve the performance of the data transformations and streamline CEP, a serverless architecture is introduced that can perform data transformations directly on streams, using attributes of the streamed record data defined in a schema. The resulting transformed data can then be provided by the serverless architecture to the CEP for direct access of the data most needed by the CEP.

In an example, an apparatus includes decoder circuitry and execution circuitry. The decoder circuitry is to decode an instruction into a decoded instruction. The instruction has an opcode to indicate that the execution circuitry is to use metadata and instruction encodings to selectively perform a memory safety check. The execution circuitry is to execute the decoded instruction according to the opcode.

Abstract: A prosthetic valve includes a tubular valve body, snares, and an upstream support. A native valve of a heart of a subject is disposed between an atrium and a ventricle of the heart, and has an annulus and leaflets. The prosthetic valve is advanced to the heart while in a compressed state. The prosthetic valve is positioned within the heart such that the snares are disposed upstream of the annulus and leaflets. The snares are expanded radially outwardly upstream of the leaflets. Subsequently, the prosthetic valve is moved in a downstream direction such that the snares become disposed downstream of the leaflets. While the snares remain downstream of the leaflets, the upstream support is expanded within the atrium, and the upstream support is placed against an upstream surface of the annulus. Other embodiments are also described.
