  • Publication number: 20240395168
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for evaluating and enhancing or improving the creativity and intelligence of a user. The creativity and intelligence of the user are evaluated by generating and evaluating mathematical representations of user answers to creativity and intelligence prompts. The mathematical representations may include positions, orientations, and scales of interactive visualization inputs and the answers may be evaluated based on the fluency, originality, elaboration, and flexibility of the answers to the prompts. The creativity and intelligence of the user are enhanced through generating user learning groups of users with similar creativity levels, generating interactive assignments, generating user workspaces for the user learning groups, verifying completed interactive assignments, and assessing the completed interactive assignments.

  • Publication number: 20240225840
    Abstract: Described herein are devices and methods for mitral valve repair. The devices and methods implant a plurality of distal anchors at an annulus of the mitral valve (e.g., the posterior annulus) and tension artificial chordae to pull the portion of the annulus toward an opposite edge and inward into the ventricle. This can effectively reduce the size of the orifice and increase coaptation. The delivery devices can be configured to be actuated to form a distal anchor made of a pre-formed knot. The delivery devices deliver the pre-formed knot in an elongate configuration. Actuation of the delivery device causes the pre-formed knot to transition from the elongate configuration to the deployed configuration by approximating opposite ends of a suture coupled to a coiled configuration to form one or more loops. After formation of the knot, the delivery device can be withdrawn.

  • Patent number: 12005701
    Abstract: A printing system comprises one or more printheads arranged to eject ink to a deposition region. Print media are held by vacuum suction against a movable support surface, which transports the print media though the deposition region. The vacuum suction is communicated from a vacuum source to the movable support surface via a vacuum plenum. An airflow control system comprises one or more dampers arranged in the vacuum plenum to control airflow between the vacuum source and the movable support surface. The dampers have an adjustable impedance to airflow through the damper. The airflow control system is configured to adjust the impedance of the damper based on a detected condition of the printing system. A detected condition of the printing system may include, for example, a sensed pressure in the vacuum plenum.

  • Patent number: 11857990
    Abstract: Implementations provide cold spray additive manufacturing (“CSAM”) with gas recovery in situ in an open environment without requiring part disassembly and removal to a repair facility. Recapturing and reusing gas in an open environment reduces costs, rendering CSAM more commercially viable and efficient, and avoids risk of new damage to parts from contemporary pre-existing CSAM processes. A gas recovery nozzle attaches to a supersonic nozzle and sends used gas to a gas recovery sub-system by capturing gas that is deflected on impact with the part during CSAM. Captured gas is stored for reuse. A flexible coupling controls distance from the gas recovery nozzle to a part substrate to prevent (1) nozzle clogging; (2) stationary shock wave interference with gas flow; and (3) gas flow misdirection. The gas recovery nozzle also suppresses disruptive supersonic sounds. Implementations enable capture for later reuse of supersonically-propelled gas during in-situ CSAM in open environments.

  • Patent number: 11706077
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for contextual generation of an ephemeral network are provided. The method detects an initiating event for network generation associated with a user of a first computing device. The method determines a duration of the initiating event. A set of network members is determined based on the initiating event and the duration. The method establishes an ephemeral network, connecting at least a portion of computing devices associated with the set of network members. The ephemeral network is terminated in response to detecting a completion event. In response to terminating the ephemeral network, member information for the set of network members is removed from the portion of the computing devices.
