Abstract: Footwear having a vamp, an insole, a midsole and an outsole, wherein a plurality of spaced apart magnets are located adjacent said outsole so that in use said magnets provide a gripping force between said footwear and a ferrous metallic surface upon which said footwear is placed.

Abstract: Footwear (1) having a vamp (2), an insole, a midsole (3) and an outsole (4), wherein a plurality of spaced apart magnets (5) are located adjacent said outsole (4) so that in use said magnets (5) provide a gripping force between said footwear (10) and a ferrous metallic surface upon which said footwear (1) is placed.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a first server receives a webpage request for a first webpage address of a first webpage served by the first server. The first webpage address is associated with a second webpage served by a second server. The first server includes tracking code within data for the first webpage to record webpage transaction information for the client device. The first server includes a timer function for the tracking code in the data for the first webpage. The first server provides the data for the first webpage to the client device that includes the tracking code and the timer function. The timer function causes the client device to render the second webpage in response to the tracking code receiving a successful tracking status notification or in response to the tracking code not receiving a successful tracking status notification within a threshold amount of time.

Abstract: This present invention provides a surgical rivet, a rivet deployment actuator, a rivet cutting instrument and a method for securing a prosthetic valve to the heart which has the potential to substantially decrease the ischemic time required for valve implantation and allow larger prostheses to be inserted in small annuli. The surgical rivet is comprised of two flexible preformed elements capable of assuming a preconfigured shape once it is delivered and secured with the deployment actuator. The deployment actuator is a reusable instrument that lowers the prosthesis to the annulus, secures the prosthesis with an “O” ring and cuts and deploys the flexible elements so that they rest on the sewing ring of the prosthetic valve. The present invention eliminates the tedious and time-consuming tasks of tying sutures which may be particularly difficult in small annuli. It also automatically cuts the sutures to the appropriate length.
