Abstract:
Methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media for scheduling operations in a hardware apparatus. A method includes receiving a lock request corresponding to a requested action, and registering a lock corresponding to and in response to the lock request. Registering the lock includes including assigning the registered lock a sequence number. The method includes selecting a current lock based on the sequence number. The method includes permitting the requested action to be performed when the current lock corresponds to the registered lock, and if the registered lock has been requested. The method includes clearing the registered lock.
Abstract:
An apparatus for treating a mitral valve, comprising an elongate member having a spiral shape, the elongate member having a proximal end portion and a distal end portion, an expandable proximal anchor joined to the proximal end portion of the elongate body, and an expandable distal anchor joined to the distal end portion of the elongate body. The elongate member is configured to adjust from an elongated state to a shortened state after delivery at least partially into a coronary sinus for reshaping a mitral annulus.
Abstract:
Methods for forming a support frame for flexible leaflet heart valves from a starting blank include converting a two-dimensional starting blank into the three-dimensional support frame. The material may be superelastic, such as NITINOL, and the method may include bending the 2-D blank into the 3-D form and shape setting it. A merely elastic material such as ELGILOY may be used and plastically deformed in stages, possibly accompanied by annealing, to obtain the 3-D shape. Alternatively, a tubular blank could be formed to define a non-tubular shape, typically conical. A method for calculating the precise 2-D blank shape is also disclosed. A mandrel assembly includes a mandrel and ring elements for pressing the blank against the external surface of the mandrel prior to shape setting.
Abstract:
An apparatus comprising a processor configured to implement an anti-replay check for a plurality of received packets and a plurality of corresponding sequence numbers; and a circular buffer coupled to the processor and comprising a bitmap, wherein the bitmap is slided in a circular manner by updating a low index that points to a first sequence number for a first received packet and a high index that points to a last sequence number for a last received packet without bit-shifting, and wherein, when the update results in the new value of one of the low index and the high index exceeding the end of the circular buffer, the one of the low index and the high index wraps around from the beginning of the circular buffer.

Abstract:
The invention relates to the technical field of gene treatment and nano targeted delivery, in particular to a siRNA delivery system compound as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps of reacting Boc-protected histidine with cholesterol to generate Boc-protected histidine cholesteryl ester, and removing BOC-released protected amino in trifluoroacetic acid to generate histidine cholesteryl ester; then, enabling amino to react with carboxyl of carboxymethyl chitosan to modify long-chain carboxymethyl chitosan to generate carboxymethyl chitosan modified by histidine cholesteryl ester, and performing targeted labeling on carboxymethyl chitosan modified by histidine cholesteryl ester to generate a carboxymethyl chitosan high-molecular compound modified by histidine cholesteryl ester and a targeted marker together, then forming a stable spherical delivery vector through self-assembly above critical micelle concentration, and mixing the stable spherical delivery vector with siRNA (small interfering ribonucleic acid) to obtain the siRNA delivery system compound.
