There is provided a flexible display having a plurality of innovations configured to allow bending of a portion or portions to reduce apparent border size and / or utilize the side surface of an assembled flexible display.

A clot retrieval device may include an elongate member and an expandable clot engaging element configured to extend across the clot in its expanded state. The expandable clot engaging element may include a first monolithic structure and a second monolithic structure. The first monolithic structure may encircle the second monolithic structure over at least a portion of its length. The second monolithic structure may include a proximal section, an intermediate section, and a distal section. The distal section may include an expansion.

A clot retrieval device 1 for removing occlusive clot from a blood vessel, the device comprises an inner elongate body 3 having a collapsed delivery configuration and an expanded deployed configuration and an outer elongate body 2 at least partially overlying the inner elongate body 2. The outer elongate body 2 is expandable to a radial extent which is greater than the radial extent of the inner body 3 in the deployed configuration to define a clot reception space 11. The outer elongate body 2 comprises a distal end portion 24,49 and the inner elongate body 3 comprises a main body portion 10 and a distal portion which extends in the deployed configuration towards the outer elongate body 2 to a greater extent than the main body portion. The distal portion 10 of the inner elongate member 3 and the distal end portion 24,49 of the outer elongate body 2 together define a three dimensional protective structure to substantially prevent distal egress of clot or clot fragments from the device.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to apical closure systems, devices, and methods and systems for use thereof, for closing surgical openings or defects in the wall of the heart.

A method of preventing ingress of material into the left atrium of a heart includes providing a delivery sheath, advancing the sheath distal end through an opening between the right atrium and the left atrium of the heart, providing an expandable cage, delivering the expandable cage to the left atrium, and expanding the expandable cage within the left atrium. The expandable cage includes a proximal end, a distal end, and a plurality of supports extending therebetween. The expandable cage also includes a first membrane provided at its proximal end and a second membrane provided at its distal end. The expandable cage has a collapsed configuration so that it can be received within the lumen of the delivery sheath, and an expanded configuration for deployment within the heart. When expanded, the first membrane is positioned at an opening between the left and right atria of the heart, and the second membrane is positioned at the ostium of the left atrial appendage. The first membrane substantially prevents passage of blood between the atria and the second membrane prevents passage of embolic material from the left atrial appendage into the left atrium of the heart.

Light emitting device die having a mesa configuration on a substrate and an electrode on the mesa are attached to a submount in a flip-chip configuration by forming predefined pattern of conductive die attach material on at least one of the electrode and the submount and mounting the light emitting device die to the submount. The predefined pattern of conductive die attach material is selected so as to prevent the conductive die attach material from contacting regions of having opposite conductivity types when the light emitting device die is mounted to the submount. The predefined pattern of conductive die attach material may provide a volume of die attach material that is less than a volume defined by an area of the electrode and a distance between the electrode and the submount. Light emitting device dies having predefined patterns of conductive die attach material are also provided. Light emitting devices having a gallium nitride based light emitting region on a substrate, such as a silicon carbide substrate, may also be mounted in a flip-chip configuration by mounting an electrode of the gallium nitride based light emitting region to a submount utilizing a B-stage curable die epoxy. Light emitting device dies having a B-stage curable die epoxy are also provided.
