Abstract: A probe head with a cylindrical portion and an oblique truncated portion angled downward toward a high-powered electronic device under testing. The probe head has a proximal end comprising an oblique truncated cone portion angled relative to the longitudinal axis at an input angle and has an analog signal input. The probe head has a digital signal output provided on the distal end of the housing.

Abstract: The systems and methods described herein provide for predictions of employee attrition within an enterprise. In one embodiment, the system connects to one or more internal data sources within the enterprise and one or more external data sources outside of the enterprise, receiving internal feed data from the internal data sources and external feed data from the external data sources, the internal feed data relating to a number of employees. The system then determines, based on at least the internal feed data, a number of attrition risk factors for the employees; receives LMS data corresponding to training courses being offered; generates one or more training course recommendations for the employees; and presents the training course recommendations to one or more client devices.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus for connecting an external composite device to a smart device such as a smartphone using a USB connection. The apparatus allows for the creation of a communication interface between an external composite device such as a PTT device and a smart device with a single USB connector. The interface allows the external device to control transmission and reception of digital audio while simultaneously supporting serial data packets being transmitted to control PTT Press and Release (press and hold) from a USBC-Serial connection. The apparatus may be used with both Android and Iphone smart devices.

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.

Abstract: A transcatheter valve prosthesis includes a stent and a prosthetic valve. The stent is mechanically or balloon expandable. The stent has an inflow portion and an outflow portion. The inflow portion includes a plurality of side openings defined by a plurality of crowns and a plurality of struts. The outflow portion has three circumferentially spaced apart commissure posts. The prosthetic valve is disposed within and secured to at least the outflow portion of the stent. The prosthetic valve is configured to block blood flow in one direction to regulate blood flow through a central lumen of the stent. The commissure posts are configured to flex or bend flex radially inwardly to reduce stresses observed during valve loading and thereby improve or increase tissue durability of the prosthetic valve.

Abstract: The present application is generally directed to multifunctional flashing devices suitable for installation of lap siding. Flashing devices include a flashing section, a removable supporting section, and one or more alignment features configured to facilitate positioning of the flashing devices adjacent to an installed course of lap siding. The flashing devices may be fastened to a building substrate adjacent to an installed course of lap siding, at locations corresponding to butt joints of an additional course of lap siding. The supporting sections of the flashing devices are configured to retain and support additional cladding elements in position for installation. When the additional cladding elements have been fastened to the building substrate, the supporting section may be removed from the flashing section.
