Abstract: Disclosed herein are expandable introducer sheaths and methods of making and using the same. The sheaths minimize trauma to a patient's vasculature by allowing for temporary expansion of a portion of the sheath to accommodate passage of a delivery system for an implant, then return to a non-expanded state after the passage of the device. The sheath includes a foldable inner member having a detached flap structure at its distal tip that facilitates expansion of the sheath lumen to increased diameters, and an elastomeric distal end that reduces push and retrieval forces therethrough. The sheath can include a hemostasis seal on its proximal end to prevent the leakage of blood out of the sheath and prevent ballooning of outer layer of the sheath.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments of introducer devices provide hemostatic sealing and allow a delivery catheter to be inserted through the introducer seals without the use of a separate loader device that covers a medical device that is mounted on the catheter. Some disclosed introducers comprise a housing, a distal sheath extending distally from the housing and adapted to be inserted into a patient's vasculature, a distal hemostatic seal mounted within the housing and a proximal hemostatic seal mounted within the housing, and a slidable tube positioned within the housing that is movable longitudinally relative to the distal hemostatic seal between a proximal position and a distal position, wherein in the proximal position a distal end of the tube is positioned proximal to the distal hemostatic seal with the distal hemostatic seal closed, and wherein in the distal position the distal end of the tube extends through the distal hemostatic seal.

Abstract: A healthcare charge capture and prioritization system for assisting healthcare providers with capturing their procedures and prioritizing code selection for claim submission is presented. The system can analyze healthcare claim-related data for ranking and ordering Current Procedural Technology (CPT) and International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD) codes to reduce the utilization of additional processing resources and network utilization from repeated system denials. Additionally, the present disclosure can generate and track analytics relevant to a patient encounters and provider action. It is an object of the invention to provide a system for processing and managing patient interactions, processing and managing healthcare-related charge entry, processing and prioritizing healthcare-related procedure technology codes, and processing and prioritizing disease and related health problem codes.

Abstract: A method for uplink closed loop power control in advanced wireless systems which adaptively adjusts target signal-to-interference noise ratio (SINRtarget) in order to achieve the best uplink throughput of data services is disclosed. To derive the desired target SINR, the system collects and evaluates various uplink parameters as inputs: real-time signal-to-interference noise ratio of data physical channel, terminal power headroom, and terminal buffer data status and data service requirements.

Abstract: An electronic device including a button assembly is provided.

Abstract: A hinge structure of a foldable electronic apparatus is provided. The hinge structure includes a hinge member fixed to each of a first housing member and a second housing member, a rotation support portion rotatably supporting the hinge member and including a rotation guide that guides a rotation of the hinge member, and an angle maintaining structure configured to maintain a position of the hinge member. The first housing member and the second housing members are maintained at a predetermined angle with respect to each other. The angle maintaining structure includes an elastic pressing portion arranged between the rotation guide and the hinge member, the angle maintaining structure extending along a rotation direction of the hinge member, and being elastically deformable, and at least one position maintaining groove into which a portion of the elastic pressing portion is insertable and which is formed in a surface of the hinge member opposite to the rotation guide.
