Abstract: A system for reshaping a valve annulus includes an elongate template having a length along a longitudinal axis and at least one concavity in a generally lateral direction along said length. The pre-shaped template is positioned against at least a region of an inner peripheral wall of the valve annulus, and at least one anchor on the template is advanced into a lateral wall of the valve annulus to reposition at least one segment of the region of the inner peripheral wall of the valve annulus into said concavity. In this way, a peripheral length of the valve annulus can be foreshortened and/or reshaped to improve coaption of the valve leaflets and/or to eliminate or decrease regurgitation of a valve.

Abstract: Embodiments herein provide a method for handling communication with a wireless network by a user equipment (UE). The method includes determining that a data inactivity timer has expired during a PS/CS call recovery procedure with a network. The method identifies whether data inactivity that caused the data inactivity timer to expire is due to a radio link failure with the network. A radio link is recovered through the recovery procedure for resuming the PS/CS call with the network, in response to identifying that the data inactivity was due to the radio link failure.

Abstract: A biodegradable stent prosthesis formed from a degradable material, having a plurality of luminal, abluminal, and side surface regions, wherein a surface portion extending between the abluminal and luminal surface region of at least some structural elements is convex.

Abstract: A stent (scaffold) or other luminal prosthesis comprising circumferential structural elements which provide high strength after deployment and allows for scaffold to uncage, and/or allow for scaffold or luminal expansion thereafter. The circumferential scaffold is typically formed from non-degradable material and will be modified to expand and/or uncage after deployment.

Abstract: Providing call continuity for an ongoing call of a User Equipment (UE) of a wireless communication by defining UE behavior specifying actions to be taken by the UE upon detection of occurrence of an event among a plurality of events that may occur during the ongoing call.

Abstract: A method for handling a service connection in a wireless communication system, including detecting, by a User Equipment (UE), a Mobility Management (MM) service state of the UE is set to ATTEMPTING TO UPDATE, receiving, by the UE, a valid Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity (TMSI) in a TMSI reallocation procedure from a base station via a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection, changing, by the UE, the MM service state to a NORMAL SERVICE state in response to the receiving a valid TMSI and the detecting a MM service state, and sending, by the UE, a paging response message to the base station in response to the changing the MM service state and a paging indication message received from the base station to establish the service connection, the paging indication message including the valid TMSI.

Abstract: The disclosure provides biodegradable implantable devices such as a stent comprising a biodegradable polymeric wherein the polymeric material is treated to control crystallinity and/or Tg. The stent is capable to expand at body temperature in a body lumen from a crimped configuration to a deployed diameter and have sufficient strength to support a body lumen.

Abstract: A method of managing evolved universal mobile telecommunication system terrestrial radio access network (E-UTRAN) capability of a user equipment (UE) is provided that includes switching from a first radio access technology (RAT) to a second RAT if the first RAT fails to provide circuit switched (CS) services to the UE, the first RAT and the second RAT being associated with a first public landline mobile network (PLMN). The UE establishes a CS call session with the second RAT. In the meanwhile, the UE receives a network handover command to move to a second PLMN. The UE may also perform a movement from the first PLMN to the second PLMN and connect with a third RAT associated with the second PLMN to continue the CS call session. The UE enables the E-UTRAN capability after moving to the second PLMN to connect with a fourth RAT available in the second PLMN.
