| 20120130377 | Burr Hole Drill Alignment Guide - A burr hole drill guide preferably includes a guide body having a guide passage that allows a drill bit to enter. Once the user has aligned the drill bit to the desired orientation, the guide can be lifted upwards, allowing a gap to pass over an upper, narrow attachment region of the drill bit and moved elsewhere (i.e., away from the procedure). In this respect, the surgeon is aware of the desired drilling angle, but is less restricted and better able to view the drill during the drilling process. | 05-24-2012 |

| 20080221673 | MEDICAL IMPLANT WITH REINFORCEMENT MECHANISM - An improved medical implant for treating mitral regurgitation is provided. The medical implant comprises proximal and distal anchors connected by a bridge. The medical implant is configured to be delivered into a coronary sinus using a minimially invasive procedure. The bridge is preferably made of a shape memory material which is biased to contract after the implant is delivered. The medical implant further comprises a reinforcement mechanism configured to limit stresses and strains along the length of the bridge. In a preferred embodiment, the reinforcement mechanism is fixed to a plurality of attachment points along the bridge, thereby preventing excessive elongation between any two attachment points. A resorbable material is preferably disposed within gaps along the length of the bridge to temporarily maintain the bridge in an elongated condition. After the proximal and distal anchors are secured in the coronary sinus, the resorbable material gradually resorbs, thereby creating tension in the bridge which applies a force along the mitral valve annulus. The reinforcement mechanism ensures that stresses and strains and distributed evenly while the bridge is in tension. | 09-11-2008 |

| 20100030330 | Device and method for mitral valve repair - Devices and methods for reshaping a mitral valve annulus are provided. One device according to the invention is configured for deployment in the right atrium and is shaped to apply a force along the atrial septum. The device causes the atrial septum to deform and push the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve in a posterior direction for reducing mitral valve regurgitation. Another embodiment of a device is deployed in the left ventricular outflow tract at a location adjacent the aortic valve. The device may be expandable for urging the anterior leaflet toward the posterior leaflet. Another embodiment of the device includes a first anchor, a second anchor, and a bridge, with the bridge having sufficient length to reach from the coronary sinus to the right atrium and/or superior or inferior vena cava. In a further embodiment a device includes a middle anchor positioned on the bridge between the distal and proximal anchors. | 02-04-2010 |
| 20110190879 | Devices and Methods for Treating a Heart - Devices and related methods of use are provided for improving heart function. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a device includes a ring-like structure configured to be secured to a heart valve; at least one elongate member extending from the ring-like structure, wherein an end of the elongate member is configured to be secured to heart geometry other than a heart valve; and an adjustment mechanism for simultaneously altering a dimension of the ring-like structure and a length of the elongate member. | 08-04-2011 |

| 20090263256 | HEAD FOR A PERISTALTIC PUMP - A head for a peristaltic pump that may be used for delivering ink to a flexographic printing press includes a housing and a roller assembly. The housing is adapted to receive a flexible tube. The housing has a curved wall and a clamp. The clamp secures the flexible tube within the housing. The clamp has an open position and a closed position. The clamp is in the open position when the flexible tube is able to move through an entrance and exit in the housing. The clamp is in the closed position where a first section of the flexible tube is secured in the entrance and a second section of the flexible tube is secured in the exit. The first and second sections are secured where they are not able to be pulled into the housing but are able to gradually slip out of the housing allowing the head to pump in both directions. The roller assembly is rotatable within the housing. The roller assembly rotates about an axis through the housing. The axis is coaxial to the curved wall in the housing. The roller assembly includes at least two compression rollers and at least one guide roller. The compression rollers are peripherally spaced where each of them come successively into contact with the flexible tube during rotation of the roller assembly. Successive compression rollers compress two portions of the flexible tube against the curved wall to confine a finite volume of fluid in the flexible tube. The guide rollers are peripherally spaced between the compression rollers where each of them comes into contact with the flexible tube during rotation of the roller assembly. The guide rollers guide the flexible tube to stay centered with the compression rollers and initiate decompression of the flexible tube to return to a partial compression dimension. Fluid is moved through the flexible tube by rotation of the roller assembly. | 10-22-2009 |

| 20090239172 | CHILLED FINISH ROLLER SYSTEM AND METHOD - An apparatus for fixing of toner onto a receiver, including: a non-contact fuser capable of fusing one or more layers of toner on a receiver such that one or more toner layers reach a fusing temperature above a glass transition temperature. The apparatus also includes one or more cooling finish rollers located downstream from the non-contact fuser to lower the toner temperature. | 09-24-2009 |
| 20100329708 | FUSING APPARATUS FOR HIGH SPEED ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHY SYSTEM - A fuser and receiver release system and method are provided for improving the release of receivers in high speed of printing systems. This system controls the release of a receiver in conjunction with a fuser in a printing system, and specifically the efficiency and accuracy of the release system. One embodiment of this method includes a belt fuser that allows the separating of the heat transfer and release functions of the fuser such that fuser roller could be made of hard metal core that can be heated to high temperatures without the fear of delaminating elastomeric coatings which are common in roller fusing. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20110243622 | TONER HEATING APPARATUS WITH BELT AND NIP - Apparatus for selectively providing a surface finish to a receiver having an image side, comprising three rotatable members forming two nips. A finishing belt is entrained around, and movable with, one of the rotatable members, and passes through one of the nips. The receiver engages one of the nips according to what surface finish is desired. One of the rotatable members is selectively rotated to draw the receiver through the engaged nip, and a heater heats the rotatable member of the engaged nip facing the image side to impart the desired surface finish. | 10-06-2011 |
| 20110243623 | FORMING SURFACE FINISH BY ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC TONER FUSING - A method of forming a variable finish on a receiver by fusing toner to a receiver in an electrophotographic printer, comprising providing a rotatable member, a fusing system disposed with respect to the rotatable member to form a fusing nip, and a glossing system having a glossing belt and disposed with respect to the rotatable member to form a glossing nip, wherein the fusing system and glossing system are adapted to fuse toner to a receiver to produce respective ranges of finish of the fused toner; selecting a finish within one of the respective ranges, and selecting one of the nips, wherein the finish range of the system corresponding to the selected nip includes the selected finish; and rotating the rotatable member to feed the receiver through the selected nip to fuse the toner to the receiver and form the selected finish on the receiver. | 10-06-2011 |
