Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system and method for providing a high-volume transaction queueing, reserve ecommerce solution that automatically engages and queues transactions when a primary back-end transaction processing system becomes unresponsive or unstable. Through machine learning algorithms, embodiments of the invention control transaction submission rates by queuing them and throttling the rate at which they are processed based on self-awareness and constant monitoring, feedback and health checks of the primary system. When metrics indicate that the third-party system can begin accepting transactions again, the system automatically feeds the queued transactions along with real-time orders at a rate that the third-party system can successfully manage.

Abstract: A plication lock delivery system that enables a suture lock assembly to be delivered percutaneously. The plication lock delivery system comprises a lock assembly that secures sutures in place, a control assembly that allows a clinician to engage a suture to a suture lock assembly, apply tension to the sutures to cause tissue plication, and deploy the lock assembly, and a catheter assembly. This plication lock delivery system can be used to repair mitral regurgitation percutaneously or in an open-heart surgery.

Abstract: An input device for providing input to a computing device includes a hand-held controller movable across and above a work surface. The input device includes a mouse sensor positioned on or in the hand-held controller to sense two-dimensional (2D) translation data representing translational movement of the hand-held controller across the work surface, and a six degree of freedom (6DOF) sensor positioned on or in the hand-held controller to sense 6DOF data representing position and orientation of the hand-held controller above the work surface.

Abstract: The present teachings provide devices and methods of treating a tricuspid valve regurgitation. Specifically, one aspect of the present teachings provides devices each includes a vascular anchor, an annulus anchor, and at least one tensioning member connecting with the vascular anchor or the annulus anchor. Another aspect of the present teachings provides methods of deploying a vascular anchor at a first treatment location inside the coronary sinus, and deploying an annulus anchor at a second treatment location across the tricuspid annulus. When both the anchors are pulled towards each other, the portion of the annulus between the two anchors is plicated, which improves the coaptation of the tricuspid valve leaflets.

Abstract: The present teachings provide devices and methods of reshaping the right heart and reducing tricuspid valve regurgitation. Specifically, one aspect of the present teachings provides an inflatable device to be deployed in the space between the sternum and the right heart. An injectable medium is injected to the cavity of the device. Once the device is filled, the device is detached from the delivery system, and released inside the body. The inflated device exerts pressure to the right heart, changes the shape of the tricuspid annulus, and allows a better coaptation of the tricuspid leaflets.

Abstract: The present teachings generally relate to translation catheter systems and method of using thereof in treating defective mitral valves. Specifically, a translation catheter system includes a catheter configured to move substantially laterally along the mitral annulus and the lateral movement of the catheter is substantially continuous and substantially adjustable. Accordingly, a method of using such a translation catheter includes advancing a first wire across the mitral annulus at a first treatment location, delivering a catheter at or near the first treatment location, moving the catheter substantially laterally to a second treatment location, and advancing a second wire across the mitral annulus, where the distance between the first and second treatment locations is substantially adjustable and optionally visualized.

Abstract: Example implementations relate to establishing communication Sinks with electronic devices. As an example, a computing device includes a data acquisition device to obtain global unique identifier (GUID) of an electronic device using a first communication protocol. The computing device also includes a processor to authenticate the electronic device based on the GUiD. The processor is also to determine device characteristic information associated with the electronic device based on the GUID. The processor is further to establish a communication link with the electronic device based on the device characteristic information and the GUID, The communication link is implemented based on a second communication protocol that is different from the first communication protocol.
