Abstract: In one general aspect, various embodiments of the present invention can include a motorized surgical cutting and fastening instrument having a drive shaft, a motor selectively engageable with the drive shaft, and a manual return mechanism configured to operably disengage the motor from the drive shaft and retract the drive shaft. In at least one embodiment, a surgeon, or other operator of the surgical instrument, can utilize the manual return mechanism to retract the drive shaft after it has been advanced, especially when the motor, or a power source supplying the motor, has failed or is otherwise unable to provide a force sufficient to retract the drive shaft.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a surgical system for a valve in an aorta. The surgical system is configured to serve as a temporary valve and/or filter to facilitate maintenance of proper blood flow while also capturing debris of an excised leaflet as needed.

Abstract: A delivery device for controllably delivering multiple implants (e.g., intravascular implants) is described herein. The delivery device may include a lockout mechanism to prevent against inadvertent implant deployment prior to initial use. The delivery device may also include a re-sheath mechanism to allow for re-sheathing of an inner core assembly prior to removal of the delivery device from an initial deployment site. The delivery device may also further include a mechanism configured to prevent against re-sheathing of a partially-deployed implant.

Abstract: A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, an energy storage device supported by the chassis and configured to provide electrical power to a prime mover, wherein activation of the prime mover selectively drives the refuse vehicle, a body for storing refuse therein supported by the chassis, a first hydraulic pump configured to convert electrical power into hydraulic power, a second first hydraulic pump configured to convert electrical power into hydraulic power, and a motor coupled to at least one of the body or the chassis and configured to drive the first hydraulic pump and drive the second hydraulic pump.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a surgical system for an aortic or mitral valve in a heart. The surgical system is configured to pierce, seize, and/or cut a leaflet, and/or facilitate removal of an excised portion of a leaflet.

Abstract: An intravascular implant can include a pair of inner rings comprising a distal inner ring and a proximal inner ring. A plurality of inner bridges can extend between opposing adjacent apices of the distal and proximal inner rings. Each of the plurality of inner bridges can form an eyelet. The implant can include a pair of outer rings comprising a distal outer ring and a proximal outer ring. The distal and proximal outer rings that can each be formed by a plurality of struts connected by apices formed in a zig-zag pattern. A plurality of outer bridge members can include a plurality of outer bridge members that extend between opposing adjacent apices of the distal outer ring and distal inner ring and outer bridge members that extend between opposing adjacent apices of the proximal outer ring and proximal inner ring.
