Abstract: A septal defect occluder is provided having first and
second occluder panels. Each occluder panel includes a fabric
support structure and fabric suspended therefrom. The
occluder panels are conjoined at a plurality of discrete
points which are located within an area bounded by each
perimeter of the fabric support structures, as well as on the

occluder. In an alternate embodiment, each occluder panel
includes a cambered fabric support structure and fabric
suspended from a perimeter thereof, the occluder panels being
arranged in cooperative cambered opposition such that the
perimeters of the cambered fabric support structures impart a
clamping force upon tissue adjacent a tissue defect interposed

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and methodology facilitating automated
audit recording and tracking of PLC-based interactions. A recording component is
provided that interacts with an application that can change or alter one or more
characteristics of PLC operations. The recording component can be client-based on the
same or associated platform as the application or can be embedded within a control
system component. When interactions have been recorded, a tracking component
aggregates such interactions in a file or record stored in a local or remote database,
wherein audit reports that document control interactions or changes can automatically be
generated from such files. Recorded interactions can be stored in a substantially real time
manner and include records of all interactions with a control system as opposed to merely
saving a final program or resultant image of such interactions, thus facilitating a more
controlled and secure auditing environment.
