Abstract: A replacement heart valve prosthesis can be delivered to or within an existing prosthesis through a valve-in-valve delivery procedure. The existing prosthesis can be a prosthetic heart valve or other device that is implanted at a target site, such as an aortic or mitral valve of the heart. The methods provided herein can allow a surgeon to position a replacement prosthesis within or adjacent to an existing prosthesis and permit the replacement prosthesis to expand into engagement against the existing prosthesis. Thereafter, the surgeon can adjust components of the replacement prosthesis, including the position of separate anchor and frame components in order to ensure accurate and secure placement of the replacement prosthesis at the target site.

Abstract: A prosthetic heart delivery assembly can provide dynamic control of the components of a valve prosthesis during delivery and placement at a target site. The assembly can permit expansion of a valve anchor and thereafter permit adjustment of the position of the valve anchor using a position control element and/or via a link mechanism coupled to a valve frame of the prosthesis. The assembly can therefore allow a surgeon to adjust the prosthesis's position in both longitudinal and rotational directions at the target site.

Abstract: A new technique, referred to as PSBEE, is disclosed and enables fabrication of freestanding nanomembranes. The PSBEE technique enables fabrication and synthesis of nanomembranes comprising 2D high entropy alloys and 2D metallic glasses and may be extended to ceramics and semiconductors, thereby enabling the fabrication of large-scale freestanding nanomembranes across a wide range of materials, including those deemed to have a great potential for future functional and structural use. To form nanomembranes using PSBEE, a plurality of membranes may be prepared and subjected to thermoplastic compression. Afterwards, one of the membranes may be removed and the remaining membranes may undergo additional thermoplastic compression in the presence of a Si substrate. Once a threshold level of smoothness is achieved, a coating or film may be applied and then separated from the final plate.

Abstract: The embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a gateway. The gateway detects that a procedure for activating or deactivating a bearer has been initiated. The gateway receives a first modify bearer or modify access bearers request message for the same PDN connection and UE as the bearer activation or deactivation procedure is intended for. The gateway detects a bearer mismatch between a first set of bearers and a second set of bearers known by the gateway and associated with said same PDN connection and UE. The gateway accepts, during a time interval, the received modify bearer or modify access bearers request message even though the bearer mismatch has been detected.
