Abstract: An information processing method, which is applied to a server, includes: a public message is transmitted to a first client, the public message being a message issued to the first client by the server, the public message carrying first information and a second information set including N pieces of second information, with N being a positive integer, the first information is information only allowed to be gotten by the first client and the second information is information only allowed to be gotten by a client in a sharing relationship with the first client; and a request for getting the second information is received from a second client, it is verified whether the second client is in the sharing relationship with the first client, and after the second client is determined to be in the sharing relationship with the first client, the second client is allowed to get the second information.

Abstract: After a user logs in to a client, a first request of the user is sent to a server, and after the first request is authenticated, a communication connection between the client and the server is established; a system message sent by the server is received in a user login interface to which the user has logged in; the system message is generated by the server to contain at least text-format information capable of being displayed at the client.

Abstract: A first selectable command is displayed on a User Interface (UI) of the UE, and a first request is sent to a server via the UI, such that the server returns a first message of a non-text type; the first message returned by the server is received, and it is determined that the first message supports display of specified information; first operation applied on a result displayed by the first message is received, and a second request is sent, via the first operation, to the server to draw random information; in response to the first operation, display of the specified information is triggered, and the random information drawn from the server is received.

Abstract: An association logic that associates a non-text message type with specified information is established. The association logic includes at least identification of the non-text message type, allowing a message type in line with the association logic to be identified by the identification. A first message is monitored. A first identification corresponding to the first message is obtained by analysing the first message. It is detected, according to the first identification, whether the first message is of the message type in line with the association logic. It is determined that the first message supports display of the specified information when it is detected that the first message is of the message type in line with the association logic.

Abstract: An articulating optical surgical probe includes a handle sized to fit in a single hand and a single rigid cannula extending from the handle having a diameter of 20 Ga or less. The probe further includes a slotted tip at a distal end of the cannula and at least one optical fiber extending through the handle, the single rigid cannula and the slotted tip, and a pull-wire secured to the slotted tip. When the pull-wire exerts tension on the slotted tip, the slotted tip will deviate from straight to a bend angle controlled by the tension in the pull-wire. The slotted tip is formed from a resilient material that will restore to the straight position when the tension exerted by the pull-wire is released.

Abstract: An endovascular near critical fluid based cryoablation catheter for creating an elongate lengthwise-continuous lesion in tissue comprises an elongate shaft, a flexible distal tissue treatment section, and a distal tip. A plurality of flexible tubes extend through the distal treatment section to transport a near critical fluid to and from the distal tip. The distal treatment section is controllably deployed to match the contour of an anatomical region to be treated. In embodiments the distal treatment section includes a superelastic material and can assume a plurality of different shapes based on the distance ejected from an outer sleeve member. When the catheter is activated, heat is transferred between a target tissue and the distal treatment section of the catheter thereby creating the elongate lengthwise-continuous lesion in the tissue.

A plurality of flexible tubes extend through the distal treatment section to transport a near critical fluid to and from the distal tip. The distal treatment section is controllably articulated to match the contour of an anatomical region to be treated. In embodiments the distal treatment section includes a superelastic material and assumes a pre-set shape when released from an outer sleeve member. When the catheter is activated, heat is transferred between a target tissue and the distal treatment section of the catheter thereby creating the elongated lengthwise-continuous lesion in the tissue.

Abstract: An endovascular near critical fluid based cryoablation catheter for creating an elongated lengthwise-continuous lesion in tissue can comprise an elongated shaft, a flexible distal tissue treatment section, and a distal tip. A plurality of flexible tubes can extend through the distal treatment section to transport a near critical fluid to and from the distal tip. The distal treatment section can also include a flexible fluid-sealed cover or barrier layer surrounding the delivery tubes. The cover and tubes can collectively define a space which is filled with a fluidic thermally conductive media. The thermally conductive media, fluid delivery tubes, and the cover can be arranged such that a flow of the near critical fluid through the tube bundle transfers heat between a target tissue and the distal treatment section of the catheter thereby creating the elongated lengthwise-continuous lesion in the tissue.

Abstract: An optical scanning probe comprises a handle to receive a light beam from a light guide; a cannula, extending from a distal end of the handle; a fiber, positioned partially inside the handle and partially inside the cannula, to guide the received light beam toward a distal end of the cannula; a rotating scanner, rotatably positioned at least partially inside the cannula and configured to house a proximal portion of the fiber; and a deflecting scanner, movably coupled to a distal end of the rotating scanner, configured to deflect a distal portion of the fiber, wherein the distal portion of the fiber is configured to emit and scan the guided light in a target region.
