  • Patent number: 11957583
    Abstract: A delivery device for cardiac valve repair implants includes a delivery catheter and an extension member protruding from a distal end of the delivery catheter. The delivery device further includes a control arm assembly having pairs of control arms. Each pair includes a proximal control arm drivable from a handle assembly of the delivery device and a distal arm coupled to a distal end of the proximal control arm and a distal end of the extension member. Proximally driving each of the proximal control arms of the control arm assembly results in expansion of the control arm assembly and corresponding expansion of a cardiac valve repair implant coupled to the control arm assembly.

  • Publication number: 20240031867
    Abstract: A method, a network device, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are described in relation to an radio access management service. The radio access management service may include calculating a predicted total resource allocation value for a prospective access and transmission grant associated with a prospective time window, and a value indicating a number of end devices that can be supported. The service may generate and transmit an access and transmission grant message directed to end devices, based on the value, in which the message may include both random access response information and contention resolution information.

  • Patent number: 11558363
    Abstract: A device may receive data relating to a site plan and image data relating to a network device. The device may determine a device identifier based on the image data, associate the device identifier with the site plan based on a common attribute between the network device and the site plan, and cause a certificate to be generated based on an authentication request to a network controller. The authentication request may cause the network controller to generate the certificate based on the device identifier and/or the site plan. The device may cause an Internet protocol (IP) address to be assigned to the network device based on the certificate, a location of the network device, and/or another related parameter, cause a node configuration to be generated based on the IP address, the device identifier, and/or the site plan, and provision the network device according to the node configuration.

  • Patent number: 11196630
    Abstract: At least one network device receives a first network address of a first small cell wireless station that has been registered as an authorized wireless station for network access to a target network. The at least one network device adds the first network address of the first small cell wireless station to a small cell wireless station data structure that lists a plurality of network addresses associated with a plurality of authorized small cell wireless stations, and validates, upon power-up of the first small cell wireless station, the first small cell wireless station against the small cell wireless station data structure to selectively establish a first tunnel, between the first small cell wireless station and a gateway connected to the target network, to enable network access to the target network.

  • Patent number: 11004111
    Abstract: A system may use optical character recognition (“OCR”) techniques to identify license plates or other textual information associated with vehicles. Based on this OCR information, the system may determine additional information, such as users associated with the vehicles. The system may further obtain other information, such as history information associated with the vehicles and/or the users (e.g., via an “opt-in” data collection service). Ad content may be selected based on trends associated with the users and/or vehicles, and may be presented via “smart” billboards (e.g., billboards that may dynamically display different content).

  • Patent number: 10638538
    Abstract: Techniques described herein may allow for the granting and revoking of temporary access, for User Equipment (“UE”) devices, to a wireless network. Multiple UEs may be registered with a group, where only a limited quantity of UEs in the group may be active at a given time. Once granted access, a UE device may have limits on the access, such as a maximum duration and/or a data limit. When a particular UE device, in a group, requests access to the network, a Group Device Authentication Server (“GDAS”) may determine whether to grant the access, based on how many other UEs in the group (if any) currently have access. The GDAS may also revoke the access once granted (e.g., once the maximum duration has been reached).
