    摘要: The neural interface system of the preferred embodiments includes an electrode array having a plurality of electrode sites and a carrier that supports the electrode array. The electrode array is coupled to the carrier such that the electrode sites are arranged both circumferentially around the carrier and axially along the carrier. A group of the electrode sites may be simultaneously activated to create an activation pattern. The system of the preferred embodiment is preferably designed for deep brain stimulation, and, more specifically, for deep brain stimulation with fine electrode site positioning, selectivity, tunability, and precise activation patterning. The system of the preferred embodiments, however, may be alternatively used in any suitable environment (such as the spinal cord, peripheral nerve, muscle, or any other suitable anatomical location) and for any suitable reason.

    摘要: A prosthetic heart valve is disclosed that is deformable between collapsed, radially uncompressed, and target conditions. The prosthetic heart valve includes an inner frame, at least one leaflet, and a braided wire mesh arranged outside and coupled to the inner frame by a coupling portion. The braided wire mesh includes a body portion between the coupling portion and a flared portion. In the radially uncompressed condition, the prosthetic heart valve forms a cavity surrounded by the braided wire mesh and the inner frame. In the target condition, only a part of the length of the body portion is radially compressed along an axis extending from an upstream side to a downstream side. In the collapsed condition, the inner frame and braided wire mesh are radially collapsed over their entire length. In the radially uncompressed condition, the body portion is tubular and the braided wire mesh has a rotationally symmetric circumference.
