  • Publication number: 20230309854
    Abstract: Various implementations include systems and approaches for determining user oxygen saturation level, and in certain cases, performing an action based on that determination. Particular aspects include a monitoring system having at least one pressure sensor for detecting air pressure in an environment proximate the at least one pressure sensor, and a processor coupled with the at least one pressure sensor, where the processor is programmed to receive air pressure data from the pressure sensor about the environment, determine an oxygen saturation level for a user in the environment based on the air pressure data, and in response to determining the oxygen saturation level of the user has met one or more predetermined conditions, perform an action.

  • Patent number: 11683546
    Abstract: First information associating a first unique master identifier with multiple different aliases is obtained from a first database accessible to an enrichment-content delivery system. The first unique master identifier is assigned to a first primary content item. Second information, which links the first unique master identifier to first enrichment content is obtained from a second database accessible to the enrichment-content delivery system. First playout information, which includes a first alias identifying a first media item scheduled for playout by a first media station is received from the first media station. A determination is made based on the first information and the second information, that the first alias is associated with the first unique master identifier assigned to the first primary content item. In response to that determination, the first enrichment content is transmitted to the first media station.

  • Publication number: 20230157823
    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods related to various heart valve implants and for delivery of those heart valve implants are described. The implants may be used to re-size a native valve annulus or to replace a native heart valve. The implants include a re-sizable frame having angled struts. Anchors secure the implant to tissue and collars are used to decrease the angle between the struts and contract the frame. The implant thus expands from a first size inside of a delivery catheter, to a second and larger deployed size inside the heart to engage and anchor with the tissue, and then to a third and contracted size to re-size the annulus and/or provide a secure fit for a replacement heart valve. Various delivery systems including imaging capabilities for precise delivery, positioning and anchoring of the various implants are further described.

  • Publication number: 20230149167
    Abstract: The present disclosure includes a device for reshaping a heart valve. The device may include a central ring about a central axis and a plurality of arms coupled to the central ring, each of the arms coupled to the central ring at a pivot point at a first end of the arm, the arm comprising an attachment feature at a second point along the arm, the pivot point configured to allow movement of the arm about the pivot point through a plane extending radially from the central axis through the arm. Additionally, the plurality of arms may be contractable and may be extendable such that the hooks extend beyond a dilated heart valve. The present disclosure also includes associated methods and systems.

  • Patent number: 11432927
    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods related to various heart valve implants and for delivery of those implants are described. The implants may be used to re-size a native valve annulus or to replace a native heart valve. The implants include a re-sizable frame having angled struts. The implant is secured to tissue with anchors that can rotate without axial advancement to engage tissue while drawing the implant closer to the tissue. Collars are used to decrease the angle between struts of a frame to contract the implant. The implants can include a rotatable shaft, such as a threaded shaft, located internally to an axially translatable collar. Rotation of the shaft transmits force to the collar to cause the collar to translate axially, closing the angle of adjacent struts and decreasing the width of the implant and thus of the annulus. The implants can be delivered, secured and contracted via a catheter. The implants are repositionable and retrievable via catheter.

  • Patent number: 11241309
    Abstract: Methods related to delivery of various heart valve implants are described. The implant may be delivered using an ultrasound imaging delivery system. The ultrasound imaging delivery system may be used to deliver a variety of different devices, including mitral valve reshaping devices, mitral valve replacement valves, and others. A deployment catheter carrying an implant having a tissue anchor is advanced to a deployment site in a heart. An imaging element is positioned adjacent the implant and a relationship between the tissue anchor and an anatomical landmark in the heart is visualized. The implant is then attached by driving the tissue anchor into tissue in the heart.
