Abstract: An embolectomy device comprised of an expansion unit and a support unit is disclosed. The expansion unit can be actuated in response to one or more external stimuli, and the support unit, located proximately to the expansion unit, provides a force to hold the expansion unit in place and to further induce the expansion unit's radial expansion. The radial expansion of the expansion unit causes the expansion unit to physically contact a blood clot, enabling the blood clot to be removed. In some embodiments, the expansion unit can be fabricated from a shape memory polymer foam. In some embodiments the support unit can be fabricated from any elastic material including, without limitation, shape memory alloys.

Abstract: There is provided apparatus for securing a vehicle flag device. The apparatus comprises a base comprising a door entrapment protrusion configured for protruding between closing surfaces of a door of a vehicle body in use so as to entrap the protrusion; a surface fastener configured for fastening an underside of the base to the roof of the vehicle body substantially adjacent the door in use; and a flag device secured by the base. In use the door entrapment protrusion is configured so as to substantially prevent the removal of the base from the vehicle while the door is closed; and the surface fastener is configured to secure the base to the vehicle body so as to adequately support the flag device and secure the base to the roof while the vehicle is moving.

Abstract: A virtual reality viewer is disclosed. The virtual reality viewer is easily switched between a first configuration and a second configuration. The first configuration allows a user to use the virtual reality viewer to view a virtual reality environment. The second configuration is smaller than the first configuration to improving storability, portability, and/or protect the viewer lenses when not in use.
