Abstract: The invention pertains to a process for preparing phosphoric acid from a solid phosphorus-containing material, comprising the steps of: - reacting a solid phosphorus-containing material with strong acid in an amount of 1.0-15 mole acid, calculated as protons, per mole of phosphorus (calculated as P) in the solid phosphorus-containing material in a monophasic reaction medium comprising an organic solvent, to form a solution of phosphoric acid in organic solvent and remaining solid material, - separating the solution of phosphoric acid in organic solvent from the remaining solid material. It has been found that phosphoric acid can be recovered from a solid phosphorus-containing material in high purity and efficiency via a solid-state rearrangement/elution process. The process according to the invention does not require the use of the large amounts of water required by the conventional dissolution/extraction processes known in the art.

Abstract: Embodiments of universal self-anchoring prosthetic valves for multi-position transcatheter or surgical implantation within any diseased or malfunctioning native heart valve are provided. An exemplary embodiment of a prosthetic valve includes a radially compressible and self-expanding central core housing a prosthetic valve, with compressible and flexible memory-shaped woven wire anchoring discs at the inflow and outflow ends. Specific design properties allow the prosthesis to be conformable, self-centering and flipped for multiple appropriate physiologic implant orientations. Expansive transverse radial force exerted by the central core, and memory-shape induced directional forces exerted by flexible inflow and outflow discs, capture and compress native peri-annular and leaflet tissues to anchor the prosthesis. Tissue facing frame surfaces may include small tines to enhance anchoring. The prosthetic valve frames may include various biomaterials or polymers as linings, coatings or coverings to enhance sealing. Methods and devices for delivering and implanting the valve based on access are described.

IPC: G06F21/50
Filed: 2020-04-27
Abstract: In accordance with implementations of the subject matter described herein, there is provided a solution for execution of a deep learning model. In the solution, partitioned convolutions are executed based on an input and a set of parameter values of the convolutional layer sequentially in a trusted execution environment (TEE) of a computing device. The execution of a given one of partitioned convolutions comprises: storing, into a protected memory area in the TEE, an input portion of the input to be processed by a subset of parameter values for the given partitioned convolution; determining a result of the given partitioned convolution through a single matrix multiplication operation; and removing the input portion. By combining results of the partitioned convolutions, a result of the convolution is determined. Therefore, the solution can accelerate the model execution speed and improve the storage efficiency in a highly safe TEE with limited memory resources.
