摘要： A needle guard is used when suturing the cuff of an attachment ring to the heart. The needle guard is disposed in the attachment ring to prevent other parts of the attachment ring from being punctured by a suturing needle. The needle guard can include one or more grooves to inhibit relative movement between the needle guard and the attachment ring during suturing. The needle guard is removed upon completion of suturing and to allow insertion into attachment ring of an inflow conduit of a heart assist device. An articulated clamp is used to compress the attachment ring into engagement with the inflow conduit. The attachment include an annular rib that grabs the inflow conduit.

摘要： A method and system for reducing or eliminating artifacts that may occur during color reduction of images. A bias is added to a data structure that is arranged to store counts of pixel colors of an image. Counts of pixel colors of the image are added to the data structure. Via the data structure, colors from the image are grouped into buckets until the number of buckets is less than or equal to a number of colors in a palette. Then, colors of pixels in the image are mapped to colors in the palette.

摘要： A media integration layer including an application programming interface (API) and an object model allows program code developers to interface in a consistent manner with a scene graph data structure in order to output graphics. Via the interfaces, program code adds child visuals to other visuals to build up a hierarchical scene graph, writes Instruction Lists such as geometry data, image data, animation data and other data for output, and may specify transform, clipping and opacity properties on visuals. The media integration layer and API enable programmers to accomplish composition effects within their applications in a straightforward manner, while leveraging the graphics processing unit in a manner that does not adversely impact normal application performance. A multiple-level system includes the ability to combine different media types (such as 2D, 3D, Video, Audio, text and imaging) and animate them smoothly and seamlessly.

摘要翻译： 包括应用编程接口（API）和对象模型的媒体集成层允许程序代码开发者以一致的方式与场景图数据结构进行接口，以输出图形。 通过界面，程序代码可以将其他视觉效果添加到其他视觉效果中，以构建一个分层场景图形，写入指令列表，如几何数据，图像数据，动画数据和其他数据以供输出，并可以指定视觉上的变换，剪切和不透明度属性 。 媒体集成层和API使程序员能够以直接的方式在其应用程序内完成组合效果，同时以不会对正常应用程序性能产生不利影响的方式利用图形处理单元。 多级系统包括组合不同媒体类型（例如2D，3D，视频，音频，文本和成像）的能力，并将其平滑无缝地动画化。
