摘要: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a control system, system and method for controlling a transition between a first driving mode and a second driving mode of a vehicle. The present disclosure relates to receiving image data of an occupant of the vehicle; quantifying one or more characteristics of the occupant's gaze based at least in part on the received image data, the one or more characteristics being indicative of the occupant's attention to a non-driving task; determining a transition profile for transitioning between the first driving mode and the second driving mode based at least in part on the one or more characteristics of the occupant's gaze; and generating and outputting a control signal to transition from the first driving mode to the second driving mode, the control signal comprising instructions for controlling one or more vehicle systems in accordance with the determined transition profile.

摘要: Bioprosthetic heart valves and methods for fabricating bioprosthetic heart valves are provided. Biological tissue is attached to biocompatible material. The biocompatible material is folded to form a tubular structure with the attached biological tissue located on the inner surface of the tubular structure, the biological tissue forming leaflets of the heart valve. A stent is secured around the outer surface of the tubular structure. A region of the biocompatible material is cut. The biocompatible material is folded at the cut region away from the tissue and around the downstream edge of the stent and is secured to the stent's outer surface. The biocompatible material is folded at the upstream end of the tubular structure around the upstream edge of the stent and attached to the stent's outer surface so that the stent's inner and outer surfaces are covered with no more than a single layer of the biocompatible material.

摘要: The invention relates to a microfluidic device including a chamber having a fluid inlet, a fluid outlet and a sealable port. In some embodiments, the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet may be positioned to direct fluid flowing from the fluid inlet to the fluid outlet through the chamber. Various embodiments may include a sealable port which may be aligned with the chamber to allow material to be placed directly into, or removed from, the chamber from the exterior of the device when the sealable port is open, and to inhibit and/or prevent fluid escaping through the sealable port when the port is sealed.

摘要: A nerve stimulation system is disclosed including a nerve interface device having a cuff that receives a nerve of a user; and first and second rings of electrodes mounted on the cuff, each ring of electrodes including a plurality of electrodes and wherein each electrode in the first ring has a corresponding longitudinally-aligned electrode in the second ring so as to form a plurality of pairs of electrodes spaced apart from each other along the longitudinal axis. The system includes a stimulation device in communication with the pairs of electrodes to generate different electrical signals for the pairs of electrodes, a signal routing module to store signal routing information necessary to cause a physiological response in a user and to cause the signals to be delivered accordingly, and a configuration module for monitoring and updating the signal routing information based on information detected or received by the nerve stimulation system.
