Abstract: Prosthetic heart valves may be delivered to a targeted native heart valve site via one or more delivery catheters. In some embodiments, the prosthetic heart valves are implanted using catheter-based deployment systems that include multiple control wires. In particular implementations, the deployment systems can include a retrieval catheter that can be used to recapture the prosthetic heart valve back into a delivery sheath after being expressed from the delivery sheath. The prosthetic heart valves can include a plurality of optional suture knots to enhance migration resistance. Some delivery catheter systems can include a controllably bendable control catheter and/or a deflectable catheter to facilitate deployment of the prosthetic heart valve to a native tricuspid valve site via a superior vena cava or inferior vena cava.

Abstract: A reconfigurable water distribution system for a walk-in tub bathing installation including two or more types of discharge ports for discharging water. The system includes a single motorized pump having an input connected to a suction port of the bathing installation, and an output port delivering pressurized water. A pipe system selectively connects the pump to the two or more types of discharge ports to selectively direct the pressurized water to the different ones of the types of discharge ports. The system selectively enables the bathing installation to perform a plurality of different functions using a single pump.

Abstract: Articulating linkage having a pair of bathtub arms pivotally coupled at a first end to bathtub mounting blocks through a first pivot rod and pivotally coupled at a second end to a pair of door arms through a second pivot rod. Each door arm pivotally coupled at an opposite end to a door mounting block of a bathtub door through a third pivot rod. A spring mounted about the first pivot rod enables the the bathtub door to rise. A method of door opening for a walk-in bathtub comprises the steps of pivoting inwardly the door hinged by the articulating linkages to a door jamb of a walk-in bathtub, moving the door vertically on the pivot rods, and passing the door through the opening, and the door closing by passing the door inwardly through the opening, moving the door vertically on the pivot rods, and pivoting the door closed.

Abstract: An anchor pier for supporting a manufactured building, in which the anchor pier includes having a shaft with a connector and a helical flight proximate a driving tip, with a brace member attached to the connector and to the manufactured building with a connector, to transfer loading between the manufactured building and the ground. A method of supporting a manufactured building is disclosed.

Abstract: A water distribution system for providing multiple bathing functions independently for a walk-in bath tub using one pump that delivers pressurized water to a first valve having a first outlet for communicating pressurized water to a second valve and a second outlet for communicating pressurized water to a drain, the second valve selectively positioned for communicating pressurized water selectively to a respective piping system for a micro bubbles bathing function and for a pressurized jet bathing function, and a controller for moving the valves selectively to provide three operational bathing functions independently with the one pump. A method for providing multiple bathing functions independently with one pump is disclosed.

Abstract: An accelerated drain system for a walk-in bathtub with a water outlet in a side wall communicates water to a diverter valve biased to circulate the water in the bathtub and movable selectively to communicate water through a reverse check valve to a drain, the reverse check valve biased closed to prevent water flow and movable selectively to allow water flow to the drain, with a controller configured for moving the diverter valve selectively from the second position to the closed position for subsequent use of the walk-in bathtub. A method of rapid draining of a walk-in bathtub is disclosed.

Abstract: A hinge having a pair of bathtub mounting blocks mounted to a bathtub surround adjacent a door jamb and a pair of door mounting blocks mounted to a bathtub door, with articulating linkage extending between the bathtub mounting blocks and the door mounting blocks. The articulating linkage has a pair of bathtub arms that pivotally couple at a first end to the bathtub mounting blocks through a first pivot rod and pivotally couple at a second end to a pair of door arms through a second pivot rod. Each door arm pivotally couples at an opposite end to one of the door mounting blocks through a third pivot rod. A spring mounted about the first pivot rod enables the bathtub arms and the bathtub door to rise. A method of door closure and opening for a walk-in bathtub is disclosed.

Abstract: A deck apparatus for assembly with a pair of opposing brace frames interconnected by a pair opposing connector bases and a deck board top frame having a plurality of deck boards disposed thereon, the connector bases having opposing posts for being received in openings in a lower end of the opposing brace frames ends and the deck board top frame having posts for being received in an upper end of the opposing brace frames, and optionally attaching a stairs riser having a plurality of spaced-apart treads or a ramp riser for extending from a deck surface at a height to a vertically lower support surface.

Abstract: An action framework system provides context-based actions in association with a source application. The source application detects selection of a content element presented by the source application. The content element is associated with an application identifier identifying a target application and an action identifier identifying an operation to be executed by the target application on the content element. The target application identified by the application identifier is executed to perform the operation identified by the action identifier on the content element, responsive to detection of the selection of the content element. In one implementation, the source application is a search feature providing different contexts of search results (e.g., from a local file system search, a local application content search, a Web search, a remote application content search).

Abstract: A search service executes on one or more computing systems and searches at least one index associated with content accessible through an application based on the at least one portion of the search query to provide search results associated with the application. A search results interface returns one or more search results from the search. At least one of the search results is associated with an application identifier identifying the application. The search service ranks the search results associated with the application with other search results from at least one other search of other content based on the search query.
