A valve planning tool comprising: (a) a stem having a distal end and a proximal end, (b) an anchor indicator located at the distal end, and (c) a balloon located proximal of the anchor indicator, the balloon including: (i) a retracted state and (ii) a deployed state; wherein the balloon is inflatable from the retracted state to the deployed state and the balloon is substantially non-compliant so that the balloon is only inflatable to one size.

In non-limiting examples, media can be created from any type of existing content. An exemplary media may be an assignment media (e.g. document) that is created for educational purposes. Content that is unassociated with a learning management system may be accessed. Input may be received requesting creation of an assignment media based on the accessed content. The request may be received through a learning management application, where the assignment media may be created based on the received input. Creation of an assignment media automatically associates the assignment media with a user account of a learning management application and a distributed network storage that corresponds with the user account. In some examples, the created assignment media may comprise one or more portions of the accessed content. The created assignment media may be accessed through the learning management application. Other examples are also described.

The subject disclosure is directed towards saving undo state information for a digital art program. Changed state data is computed (e.g., via GPU-side logic) based upon the state information of the current state of a canvas and the previous state information, e.g., via an XOR operation or parallel XOR operations. The changed state data is compressed into compressed state data, e.g., via run-length encoding, and the compressed state data is stored, e.g., in a circular buffer in GPU memory. For an undo command, the compressed data is decompressed into the changed state data, and the bitwise operation reversed.
