Abstract: An anchoring system and related methods are provided for treatment of dilated hearts and of functional valve regurgitation, the system comprising one or more self-expandable or manually expandable anchors and associated devices for fixating a valve splint within the heart. For example, a spade-shaped assembly may be configured to be deployed in a right ventricle of the heart and to stabilize a puncturing instrument to puncture the septum. Various puncturing instruments may also be part of the anchoring system, including one or more of a flexible needle having a multiplicity of slits disposed along the length of the needle, a trocar catheter with a retractable head, and a catheter needle having a blunt introducer to protect nearby tissue within the heart during advancing a guidewire. A cutter catheter and puncture location catheter may also be part of the system and be used during treatment.

Abstract: The present invention, disclose an endcap comprising: a. a first part being at least partially symmetrical about a main axis, said first part being fused to an optical fiber at a proximal end thereof such that said main axis is alignable with an optical axis of the optical fiber beam; and, b. a second part connecting to said first part at a distal end of said first part, wherein said second part protrudes from said first part, such that said second part forms a protruding bonding area, which is perpendicular to said main axis, for attaching said endcap to a fixture attachment area of a fixture apparatus, said fixture attachment area is perpendicular to said main axis, wherein said endcap is inserted at least partially inside said fixture apparatus, whereby, said endcap keeps said optical fiber beam aligned and minimizes angular diversion from an original alignment.

Abstract: A method and a system for routing transactions within a computer network may include receiving a request to route a transaction between two nodes of the computer network, extracting a feature vector (FV) from the transaction request, including at least one feature associated with the requested transaction; associating the requested transaction with a cluster of transactions in a clustering model based on the extracted FV; selecting an optimal route for the requested transaction from a plurality of available routes, based on the FV; and routing the requested transaction according to the selection.
