  • Publication number: 20260158262
    Abstract: Percutaneous circulatory support devices and systems are disclosed which may include a blood pump, a flexible cannula extending distal of the blood pump, an adaptor including a plurality of struts defining a plurality of blood inflow windows therebetween. The adaptor may include a proximal end coupled to a distal end of the cannula at an interface. A distal tip may be coupled to a distal end of the adaptor and extend distally therefrom, whereby the interface between the adaptor and the distal end of the cannula may have a circular cross-sectional shape in an equilibrium configuration. The interface between the adaptor and the distal end of the cannula may be configured and/or otherwise adapted to deform when subjected to an external force during use to alter the cross-sectional shape to a non-circular cross-sectional shape.

  • Patent number: 11461323
    Abstract: Described herein are a system and techniques for increasing the efficiency of generating a result set for a query. In some embodiments, the techniques may involve performing computations on a high-level element, sorting, and selecting a set of the high-level elements, and recursively repeating the process on sub-elements of the set of the high-level elements. The process may be recursively repeated until a specified level of granularity is reached. This may significantly decrease the number of computations that need to be performed, increasing the speed with which queries can be performed. In some embodiments, the process may involve identifying elements which may be highly correlated to optimal computation results and may add those elements to the result set to improve the accuracy of the result set.

  • Publication number: 20210004716
    Abstract: A global AI platform and a method for generating aggregated and ordered data sets are disclosed. Aggregated and ordered data sets are data sets that have been grouped, ordered, and for which one or more data values in the data set have been aggregated. As a result of their aggregation and ordering, aggregated and ordered data sets can be retrieved from a database and used more quickly than non-ordered, non-aggregated data sets. A data processor computer can receive a plurality of data sets, and from those data sets generate aggregated and ordered data sets that can subsequently be stored in an aggregated and ordered database. A data service computer can retrieve a subset of the aggregated and ordered data sets from the database, and use the subset as an input to an AI model that can be used to generate predictions that can be delivered to clients.

  • Patent number: 9966658
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention include assemblies and methods for utilizing antennas with high gain in small satellites. In one embodiment, a satellite comprising a payload configured for transmitting data is provided. The payload may include various components of the satellite, such as the attitude control system, electrical power system, and/or communication system. The satellite may be configured to communicate with one or more ground stations. The satellite includes a support structure comprising at least one deployable panel, wherein the support structure houses the payload. The satellite also includes at least one antenna coupled to the support structure, wherein the deployable panel is configured to cover the antenna in a non-deployed state and to expose the antenna in a deployed state.

  • Publication number: 20170143077
    Abstract: The present invention extends to removable shoe securing straps. A strap includes one or more portions of hook material on an end and/or on a side of the strap. The strap also includes one or more portions of loop material on another end and/or on another side of the strap. The strap can be inserted through eyelets on both sides of a shoe. The one or more hook portions can then be placed in contact with (e.g., folded over onto) the one or more loop portions to hold the strap in position. Thus, the strap secures the shoe onto the human foot. When secure, a human wearer is essentially prevented from “walking out” of the shoe. Accordingly, a human wearer can secure shoes to their feet in a more efficient manner.
