Abstract: As described herein vascular anchoring systems are used to position an implant in a vascular area such as a bifurcated vasculature with relatively high fluid flow, for instance, in an area of a pulmonary artery with associated left and right pulmonary arteries. Implementations include an anchoring trunk member having a first anchoring trunk section and a second anchoring trunk section. Further implementations include a first anchoring branch member extending from the anchoring trunk member. Still further implementations include a second anchoring branch member extending from the anchoring trunk member.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved grout tool generally employed with a multi-functional surface cleaning machine having a fluid tank, a pump, and at least one receptacle for holding concentrated cleaning chemicals. In one embodiment, the grout tool employs fluid jets, adjustably connected via brackets, such that the jets are positioned at an angle relative to the grout tool body to allow fluid to hit a surface of an angle.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a spray gun generally employed with a multi-functional surface cleaning machine having a fluid tank, a pump, a dispensing device, and at least one receptacle for holding concentrated cleaning chemicals. The dispensing blower assembly device of one embodiment of the present invention includes a housing, a blower motor and a nozzle for directing pressurized air to a predetermined location.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to an apparatus for cleaning or otherwise treating a floored surface that includes a platform adapted to support the weight of an operator. In addition, one embodiment of the present invention is capable of generally performing 360° turns to facilitate the treatment of difficult to access portions of the floored surface.

Abstract: The invention is a method of delivering and deploying a tissue shaping device in a lumen within a patient, with the tissue shaping device including an anchor. In some embodiments the method includes the steps of: inserting a delivery catheter into the lumen; percutaneously delivering the device to a target site within the lumen through a delivery catheter; operating an actuator to expose an anchor; and operating the actuator to lock the anchor. In other, the method includes the steps of: inserting a delivery catheter into the lumen; moving the device from a cartridge into the delivery catheter; delivering the device to a target site within the lumen; operating an actuator to move the delivery catheter with respect to the anchor to expose the anchor; and expanding the anchor.

Abstract: The invention is a tissue shaping system, including a tissue shaping device with an expandable anchor and a lock; a delivery catheter; a delivery mechanism adapted to deliver the tissue shaping device from outside a patient to a target site within a lumen within the patient via the delivery catheter; and an actuator adapted to deliver an actuation force to the lock to lock the anchor in an expanded configuration. The invention is also a system adapted to percutaneously deliver and deploy a tissue shaping device at a target site within a lumen of a patient. The system includes: a handle; a delivery mechanism supported by the handle and adapted to deliver the tissue shaping device from outside the patient to the treatment site via a delivery catheter; and an actuator supported by the handle and adapted to deliver an actuation force to lock an anchor of the tissue shaping device in an expanded configuration.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cleaning wand generally employed with a multi-functional surface cleaning machine having a fluid tank, a pump, a dispensing device, and at least one receptacle for holding concentrated cleaning chemicals. The cleaning wand of one embodiment of the present invention is adapted for interconnection to a vacuum hose on one end and may receive various cleaning tools on the other end.
