Abstract: A diametric adjustment mechanism for an implantable medical device including a track defining a series of diametric setpoints, including a first diametric setpoint and a second diametric setpoint, a rider engaged with the track such that the rider is selectively movable along the track from the first diametric setpoint to the second diametric setpoint and from the second diametric setpoint to the first diametric setpoint, and a biasing element biasing the rider toward the first diametric setpoint when the rider is at the second diametric setpoint.

Abstract: The present disclosure presents user content and service systems that are controllable by one or more remote system managers, which may include one or more primary system managers, and utilized by one or more users, and methods and apparatuses related thereto. For example, the present disclosure presents an example method for multimedia presentation to a user, which may include receiving, at a user terminal, content from a network entity, wherein at least a portion of the content is controllable by a remote manager. Furthermore, such an example method may include displaying the content to the user via a user interface and receiving one or more interactive inputs from the user at the user terminal. Moreover, the example method may include performing one or more functions associated with the content based on the one or more interactive inputs.

Abstract: An automatic foot washer for being located on a treadable surface and including, in its most preferred embodiment, a hollow frame structure which rests on the treadable surface, bounds a central open area, and defines both a hollow inner space and a plurality of spray outlets extending into the hollow inner space, a valve assembly which is connected to the hollow frame structure, extends into the hollow inner space, and includes both a supply connector for connection to a pressurized water source and a flexible valve hose, a grated actuating platform which is located within the central open area and rests partially on the treadable surface, and an actuator lever which is mounted to the actuator platform and operatively contacts the flexible valve hose to, when a person steps on the actuator platform, open the valve assembly and establish communication of the pressurized water source with the hollow inner space and the plurality of spray outlets to spray water through the plurality of spray holes over the grat

Abstract: An improved caliper apparatus comprises a host caliper including a jaw assembly having two opposing, flat reference edges for measuring edge-to-edge and point-to-point distances; and further includes removable, reference off-setting assemblies which are removably attached to the jaw elements of the host caliper; and which reference off-setting assemblies reposition the reference points of the caliper to provide hole-to-hole and edge-to-hole measurements while maintaining the integrity of the direct reading off the caliper scale.
