Abstract: Systems and methods for treatment of tissue including an expandable member designed to be positioned at a site of interest against tissue to be treated and to accommodate fluid set at a temperature range to affect the tissue at the site of interest; an assembly for directing the fluid set at the temperature range into the expandable member, the assembly having an input to introduce the fluid into the expandable member to circulate substantially along an entire length of the expandable member and an output spatially situated from the input to permit fluid flow to be removed from within the expandable member; and a mechanism designed to direct fluid along the assembly and through the input into the expandable member while simultaneously removing fluid from the expandable member through the output, so as to maintain substantially constant fluid pressure within the expandable member.

Abstract: A contact hearing device includes a chassis, sulcus platform and umbo platform wherein the chassis is formed as a single continuous material, the sulcus platform is formed as a single continuous material, and the umbo platform is formed as a single continuous material. The chassis may include a receiver mount, a motor mount pocket and a central frame. The sulcus platform includes one or more registration features adapted to mate with at least a portion of the chassis, the umbo platform includes a drive post landing pad, the drive post landing pad including at least one alignment feature.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for a platform to form a three-dimensional article from successively selectively solidified layers of a liquid medium which is solidifiable by application thereto of a prescribed energy. The platform can be coated or uncoated. The platform can have an array of openings therethrough. Upon completion, the article can be removed from the platform using a punch having a plurality of projections adapted to engage openings in the platform. Alternatively, a tool can be used to push articles from the platform.
