    摘要: Devices and methods for improving the function of a valve (e.g., mitral valve) by positioning a spacing filling device outside and adjacent the heart wall such that the device applies an inward force against the heart wall acting on the valve. A substantially equal and opposite force may be provided by securing the device to the heart wall, and/or a substantially equal and opposite outward force may be applied against anatomical structure outside the heart wall. The inward force is sufficient to change the function of the valve, and may increase coaptation of the leaflets, for example. The space filling device may be implanted by a surgical approach, a transthoracic approach, or a transluminal approach, for example. The space filling portion may be delivered utilizing a delivery catheter navigated via the selected approach, and the space filling portion may be expandable between a smaller delivery configuration and a larger deployed configuration.

    摘要: A fireplace generally including a display driven by a controller. The display may be configured to show images associated with a fireplace. The images may be in two dimensions or three dimensions. The display may be driven by the controller, and a user interface may be provided to configure the fireplace. The display may also be driven by other peripheral components as well. The display may optionally be a flat-panel display. The display may be placed against a wall of a structure and surrounded by a decorative facade, or may be placed in an enclosure of a wall. Various optional components, such as a simulated electric glowing ember system and a retractable grate and artificial log set, may also be included.

    摘要: A battery charging circuit sets charging current according to either the capacity of the battery under charge or a constraint of the charging source, depending on the properties of the charging source. The battery charging circuit sets termination current, however, according to the capacity of the battery under charge, regardless of the properties of the charging source. For example, the termination current may be set as a fixed fraction of the recommended C rate of the battery even if the charging current supplied by the charging source is below this C rate. Always setting the termination current in proportion to the battery's capacity permits detection of the current at which charging should terminate even when the charging current is constrained by the charging source and no longer depends on the battery's capacity.

    摘要: A fin retention and deployment mechanism that has the advantage of providing for the deployment of aerodynamic control surfaces on command without the need for an additional actuation device or control circuitry separate from the actuator that controls the angle of the fins during flight. The actuator that is already required for operation of the control surfaces after deployment initiates the deployment of the fins, as well. A latch mechanism comprises a retaining member and a lath, which engages the retaining member enabling a biasing mechanism to force the fins from a stowed position to a fully deployed position.

    摘要: A method for placing a splint assembly transverse a heart chamber includes providing an elongate member having a first end and a second end and a deployable heart-engaging assembly connected to at least the first end. The method includes advancing the elongate member through vasculature structure and into the heart chamber such that the first end of the elongate member extends through a first location of a wall surrounding the heart chamber and the second end extends through a second location of the heart chamber wall substantially opposite the first location. A deployable heart-engaging assembly is deployed such that it engages with a first exterior surface portion of the heart chamber wall adjacent the first location. The elongate member is secured with respect to the heart with a second heart-engaging assembly connected to the second end. The second heart-engaging assembly engages with a second exterior surface portion of the heart chamber wall adjacent the second location. A splint assembly includes an expandable heart-engaging assembly formed partially from portions forming the elongate member of the splint assembly. A delivery tool includes a tubular member configured to be advanced through vasculature structure and has a curved distal end.
