Abstract: A prosthetic valve includes an annular frame with a plurality of inflow apices and a plurality of outflow apices. Each one of the outflow apices can be circumferentially offset from a respective inflow apex. The prosthetic valve can further include a leaflet structure positioned within the frame and secured thereto. The prosthetic valve can further include an outer skirt secured to the frame. The outer skirt can include an upper edge portion disposed around an outer surface of the frame, a lower edge portion wrapped around the inflow apices, and a plurality of creases. Each crease can be circumferentially aligned with a corresponding outflow apex and can extend from the lower edge portion towards the upper edge portion. The inner skirt can be secured to an inner surface of the frame and can include a lower edge portion attached to the lower edge portion of the outer skirt.

Abstract: A draw-through fan assembly and heat exchanger system configuration is disclosed, comprising a fan deck adapted to mount the fan assembly, an axial fan with a rotating shroud, a heat exchanger section located upstream of the fan and the fan assembly, and a J-shaped inlet bell mouth configured upstream of the fan deck that is located within a space between heat exchangers. Further, a motor associated with the fan assembly and one or more motor struts are positioned upstream of the fan. The fan is mounted on the bottom of the struts, such that once the fan-mounted assembly is configured at the outlet of the heat exchangers, the bell mouth and fan remain below the fan deck and are disposed in a space between the heat exchangers.

Abstract: A radio frequency connection between a controlling device and a one of a plurality of controllable appliances in an environment is used to determine when the controlling device is pointing more towards the one of the plurality of controllable appliances relative to remaining ones of the plurality of controllable appliances. When it is determined that the controlling device is pointing more towards the one of the plurality of controllable appliances relative to remaining ones of the plurality of controllable appliances, the controlling device automatically makes active a command codeset usable to transmit commands to command functional operations of the one of the plurality of controllable appliances.

Abstract: Described are systems and methods for determining a reputation score and/or a confidence score for a network identifier that represents, respectively, a likelihood that the network identifier presents a threat and/or a likelihood that the network activity associated with the network identifier corresponds to a port scanning, enumeration, or other malicious event. Embodiments of the present disclosure can utilize various network telemetry information, such as authentication activity, outbound traffic activity, web activity, honeypot connection activity, or network classification information to determine the reputation and/or confidence scores in response to a query/request and/or in connection with potentially malicious activity that can represent a likelihood that the detected potentially malicious activity is malicious/legitimate and the potential impact that remediation measures taken against the network identifier may have in the event that the detected network activity was legitimate.

Abstract: An example method includes receiving, by a computing system, from an aggregator computing system, an access request of an account at a financial institution, the access request including a user identifier associated with a user of the account and encrypted authentication information; decrypting, by the computing system, the encrypted authentication information; matching, by the computing system, the decrypted authentication information against stored authentication information associated with the user identifier of the user; and providing, by the computing system, an authentication decision to the aggregator computing system, the authentication decision enabling the aggregator computing system to access and display information of the account to the user.

Abstract: In exemplary embodiments, methods and systems are provided that include: sensors configured to obtain sensor data for a vehicle having both friction braking and regenerative braking capabilities and coupled to a trailer, the sensor data including: friction braking data as to a vehicle friction braking force for the vehicle; and regenerative braking sensor data as to a vehicle regenerative braking force for the vehicle; and a processor coupled to the sensors and configured to at least facilitate controlling braking of the trailer by providing trailer braking force, via instructions provided by the processor, based on both the friction braking data and the regenerative braking sensor data, with a sensitivity toward the vehicle regenerative braking force such that the trailer braking force is affected differently by the vehicle regenerative braking force versus the vehicle friction braking force.

Abstract: Methods of forming a coated component are provided. The coated component includes a substrate having a surface; a silicon-based bond coating on the surface of the substrate; and a barrier coating on the silicon-based bond coating. The silicon-based bond coating comprises amorphous silicon phase having grains of crystalline silicon (e.g., having an average size of about 0.03 ?m to about 3 ?m) distributed therein. The amorphous silicon phase may be formed of pure silicon metal, or may be formed from silicon metal with boron, oxygen, and/or nitrogen dispersed therein.

Abstract: A method for converting a source video content constrained to a first color space to a video content constrained to a second color space using an artificial intelligence machine-learning algorithm based on a creative profile.

Abstract: In the embodiments, a novel prefetch service implemented on a prefetch server is provided to execute content (either targeted or selected) fetch requests in parallel with other requests thereby reducing the overall latency of a content delivery system. In some aspects, a method is provided to receive a prefetch request to prefetch a targeted content item to be presented prior to presenting a primary content item on a user device, the prefetch request including prefetch request parameters; generate, a callback URL associated with the prefetch request; transmit, to a primary content server, the callback URL; obtain a targeted content configuration corresponding to the prefetch request parameters; obtain the targeted content item based on the targeted content configuration; receive, a request to provide the targeted content item, the request including the callback URL; and transmit the targeted content item.

Abstract: Patient positioners as well as methods for using patient positioners are disclosed. An example patient positioner may include a thoracic support assembly having one or more thoracic attachment members for securing the thoracic support member to a rail. The thoracic support assembly may have a thoracic adjustment mechanism configured to shift the thoracic support assembly relative to the one or more thoracic attachment members. A lumbar support assembly may be disposed adjacent to the thoracic support assembly. The lumbar support assembly may include one or more lumbar attachment members for securing the lumbar support assembly to the rail. The lumbar support assembly may include a lumbar adjustment mechanism configured to shift the lumbar support assembly relative to the one or more lumbar attachment members. A bolster may be coupled to at least one of the thoracic support assembly and the lumbar support assembly.

Abstract: A building integrated photovoltaic system includes a plurality of photovoltaic modules installed in an array on a roof deck. Each of the photovoltaic modules at least one solar cell, a first encapsulant encapsulating the at least one solar cell, a frontsheet juxtaposed with a first surface of the first encapsulant, and a backsheet juxtaposed with a second surface of the first encapsulant. The frontsheet includes a glass layer, a second encapsulant, and a first polymer layer. The backsheet includes a first layer and a second polymer layer attached to the first layer. Each of the photovoltaic modules includes a wire cover bracket, which is configured to overlap the wire cover bracket of an adjacent one of the photovoltaic modules.

Abstract: A limb support comprises a spar, a limb rest, and a coupler. The spar is configured to be supported from a patient support apparatus and adjustable relative to the patient support and has a longitudinal axis. The coupler includes a release that is actuable between a first position permitting movement of the coupler relative to the patient support and a second position preventing movement of the coupler relative to the patient support.
