Abstract: A delivery system includes a delivery catheter that is releasably coupled to a fixation device and a delivery handle that is coupled to the delivery catheter. A lock control assembly of the delivery handle has a releasable lock line handle operable to lock and unlock components of the fixation device. The lock line handle has a shaft body and a lever arm that respectively define first and second openings. A lock line extending from the fixation device and through the delivery catheter has a first end portion fixedly coupled to the lock line handle and a second end portion that extends through the first and second openings. The lock line is free to move through the openings when the lever arm is in a first position and is secured when the lever arm is in a second position.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for prompting a patient to take a blood glucose management action. A diabetes management application on a mobile device can receive diabetes-related information from the mobile device. The diabetes management application can identify a blood glucose management action prompt based on a comparison of the received diabetes-related information to one or more predetermined prompt criteria. The diabetes management application can generate a blood glucose management action prompt based on the blood glucose management action prompt condition. The diabetes management application can present the blood glucose management action prompt to the patient on a user interface of the mobile device.

Abstract: A nonpneumatic tire (NPT) having an inner ring for receiving a hub by which the nonpneumatic tire is affixed to a vehicle or other apparatus, an outer ring encircled by a tread band, and a plurality of revolved and mirrored spokes that extend between the inner ring and the outer ring to form an interconnected web of collapsible open cells. Each of the spokes includes multiple segments, with at least some of the segments having a concave bias when in an unloaded state. The design and arrangement of the spokes results in a nondirectional web, and loads experienced by the NPT are distributed throughout the web in a manner that increases the load carrying capacity of the NPT.

Abstract: An exhaust fan assembly can include an outer housing, a fan housing mounted to the outer housing, a fan wheel and an electric motor operably coupled to the fan wheel, the fan wheel and electric motor being mounted within the fan housing, wherein the fan housing defines an open inlet side for accepting airflow in a direction generally parallel to a rotational axis of the fan wheel and an outlet for discharging airflow in a direction generally perpendicular to the rotational axis, wherein the fan housing defines a volute section with an outer perimeter having a continuously curved cross-sectional shape.
