| 20150363291 | OPTIMIZING THE NUMBER OF SHARED PROCESSES EXECUTING IN A COMPUTER SYSTEM - A system optimizes a number of shared server processes executing on a processor. The system creates, in a memory, a data array for storing a plurality of performance metric values, each associated with a number of shared server processes. The system selects a value for an optimized number of shared server processes according to a first procedure based on the performance metric, observes a performance metric associated with the selected optimized number, and stores, in the data array, the observed performance metric. The system repeats the selecting, observing and storing until at least a predetermined number of contiguous data values are stored in the data array. The system selects the value for the optimized number according to a second procedure based on a slope of the performance metric. The system observes the performance metric associated with the selected optimized number, and stores, in the data array, the observed performance metric. | 12-17-2015 |

| 20130211508 | SEQUENTIALLY DEPLOYED TRANSCATHETER MITRAL VALVE PROSTHESIS - A sequentially deployed prosthetic cardiac valve includes a self-expanding frame having an atrial skirt, a ventricular skirt, and an annular region disposed therebetween. A first anterior tab is disposed on an anterior portion of the frame. A posterior tab is on a posterior portion of the self-expanding frame. The frame may be designed so that any portion may expand sequentially in any desired order. For example, a portion of the first anterior tab and a portion of the posterior tab may partially self-expand first. Next, the first anterior tab may fully self-expand before the posterior tab fully self-expands. The posterior tab may fully self-expand next followed by the ventricular skirt, or the ventricular skirt may self-expand next followed by full expansion of the posterior tab. | 08-15-2013 |
| 20140257467 | PROSTHETIC VALVE WITH ANTI-PIVOTING MECHANISM - A prosthetic valve for implanting in a patient's native valve has a self-expanding frame that comprises a first end, a second end opposite the first end, an anterior portion, and a posterior portion. The self-expanding frame has an expanded configuration adapted to engage tissue at a treatment site, and a collapsed configuration adapted to be delivered to the treatment site. The expandable frame also comprises a self-expanding atrial skirt near the second end, a self-expanding ventricular skirt near the first end, a self-expanding annular region disposed between first and second ends, a first self-expanding anterior tab disposed on the anterior portion, and a self-expanding foot coupled to the posterior portion and extending radially outward. The foot has an outer surface for engaging the tissue thereby facilitating anchoring of the prosthetic valve and minimizing or preventing rotation of the prosthetic valve. | 09-11-2014 |
| 20140343669 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR DELIVERING A PROSTHETIC VALVE TO A BEATING HEART - A method for delivering a prosthetic valve to a patient's heart having a native valve with a plurality of valve leaflets includes providing a delivery device with a prosthetic valve, advancing the delivery device toward the native valve, and expanding a portion of the prosthetic valve to form a flanged region that is upstream of the valve leaflets. One or more tabs on the prosthetic valve are released so that they expand outward to a position that is transverse to the longitudinal axis of the prosthetic valve. The position of the prosthetic valve is adjusted relative to the valve leaflets and rapid pacing is applied to the patient's heart so that the valve leaflets move inward toward the prosthetic valve or the delivery device. The tabs are further released to allow the tabs to move into their final positions. | 11-20-2014 |
