Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100121433RECONFIGURING HEART FEATURES - Among other things, a support for living tissue includes gripping elements to attach to the living tissue and to hold the support securely in place. An annular structure is coupled to the gripping elements. The annular structure adjusts the support between a first configuration for installing the support and a second configuration in which the support is held securely in place after installation. The annular structure is self-supporting in the first and second configurations.05-13-2010
20100249920RECONFIGURING HEART FEATURES - Among other things, a heart tissue support has a ring-shaped body and gripping elements, each gripping element having a free end that is sharp enough to penetrate heart tissue when pushed against the tissue, and a feature to resist withdrawal of the gripping element from the tissue after the sharp free end has penetrated the tissue. Among other things, a tool to attach a support to a heart valve annulus has splaying elements that spread apart to hold the support in an expanded configuration prior to attachment. Among other things, an apparatus includes polygonal elements connected along corners of the elements to form a ring, the polygonal elements being capable of expanding and contracting, and gripping elements attached to points of the polygonal elements. Among other things, a method includes using a delivery tool to expand a support and a heart valve annulus to one diameter.09-30-2010

20120088957SUBCUTANEOUS PIEZOELECTRIC BONE CONDUCTION HEARING AID ACTUATOR AND SYSTEM - An implantable bone-conduction hearing actuator based on a piezoelectric element, such as a unimorph or bimorph cantilever bender, is described. Unlike other implantable bone conduction hearing actuators, the device is subcutaneous and once implanted is entirely invisible. The device excites bending in bone through a local bending moment rather than the application of a point force as with conventional bone-anchored hearing aids.04-12-2012

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080260557FLOATING PUMP FOR IRRIGATION AND OTHER APPLICATIONS - A submersible pump for irrigation and other purposes is enclosed within a floating housing including a buoyant top portion, such that the housing remains substantially vertical during use. A spacer bracket is used to keep the pump away from the inner walls of the housing, and, in the preferred embodiment, the bottom portion of the housing is pointed for additional stability. Handles are provided on the outside of the housing for transport purposes. In the preferred embodiment, a pair of floating inlet assemblies are provided, which attach by hoses through opposing sides of the pump housing. The openings through the walls of the housing are preferably at different heights for the two inlet assemblies, so that one of the inlets will function as a backup if the other fails.10-23-2008

20100319348WASTE HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM - A waste heat recovery system in which hot waste fluids, such as flue gasses, pass through a fluid heat exchanger configured to transfer energy in the form of heat to a heat transfer liquid, preferably molten salt. The energy in the molten salt is used to generate useable power such as electrical energy. The waste gas heat recovery system is especially adapted for use with batch processes, such as steelmaking and copper converting, and allows continuous or substantially continuous power production.12-23-2010
