The system may comprise an air treatment assembly having an indoor air inlet configured to receive indoor airflow directly from a room, a regenerable adsorbent material configured to adsorb at least one gaseous contaminant contained in the indoor airflow, at least one airflow element for directing the indoor airflow to flow through the air treatment assembly, an indoor air outlet for expelling the indoor air, from the air treatment assembly back into the room, a purge air inlet configured to receive and direct purge air over and/or through the adsorbent material for removal of at least a portion of the at least one gaseous contaminant, and a purge air outlet for expelling the purge air out of the air treatment assembly.

Abstract: A loader and method for loading a transcatheter heart valve into a delivery sheath or catheter is described that is also configured to facilitate retrieval of the heart valve back through the delivery sheath while protecting the delivery sheath from damage. Another loader provides for easier crimping and loading of a THV into a delivery sheath or catheter from a storage jar or container. A method for crimping a THV facilitates easier end user preparation of the valve for implantation and reduces the likelihood of tissue deformation in the valve during storage. These devices and methods for deploying THVs simplify the valve replacement procedure.

Abstract: A method for retrieving a previously inserted prosthetic valve is disclosed. In one example, a loader assembly is inserted through a hub of a delivery sheath device. The delivery sheath device includes an expandable sheath that extends into a blood vessel of a patient. The loader assembly is advanced in a distal direction until a distal section of the loader assembly extends into the expandable sheath which is attached to a distal end of the hub. The distal section has a larger inner diameter than a middle tube section of the loader assembly. A delivery catheter is retracted to move a prosthetic valve attached thereto in a proximal direction until the prosthetic valve is received within the distal section. The loader assembly and the delivery catheter are removed from a proximal end of the hub while the prosthetic valve is retained within the distal section.

Abstract: Example embodiments for identifying and displaying configuration item information are presented herein. A system may involve a proxy server application disposed within a managed network that includes configuration items and a server disposed within a remote network management platform managing the managed network. The server may receive a request to view information representative of a particular configuration item from a client device. Based on the request, the server may obtain the information and transmit a representation of a graphical user interface to the client device. The representation may include a health graphic, a relationship graphic, a timeline graphic, and an activity stream, each of which represent pertinent information about the particular configuration item. The representation may also include a tabbed interface that facilitates navigation between attributes corresponding to the particular configuration item and attributes corresponding to other configuration items in the managed network.

Abstract: A credit-based flow control system can utilize speculative credit. If an agent has not received a credit return from a downstream agent for a given period of time, the agent can return speculative credit to an upstream agent. This way, even if the agent is not currently capable of performing operations represented by the speculative credit, the upstream agent can be enabled to proceed with operations.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, according to one approach, is for establishing coherent analysis across distributed locations. The computer-implemented method includes: processing messages at an initiator location. In response to detecting a query indicator set on one of the messages: an inspection resource is allocated from a pool of available inspection resources to collect initial information associated with the processing of the message having the set query indicator. Moreover, the message is sent to a receiver location with the set query indicator for processing and collecting supplemental information associated with the processing of the message at the receiver location. The initial and supplemental information is eventually collected, and the collected information is processed for determining performance characteristics of the processing of the message at the initiator and receiver locations.
