Abstract: An inflatable cardiovascular prosthetic implant is provided. The implant has two inner rings that support a one-way valve that allows flow through the implant. The implant has an outer ring positioned between the two inner rings and extending radially beyond the two inner rings. The implant has anchors that attach to heart tissue to help seat the implant in the annulus of the native valve.

Abstract: In one example, an active cover plate includes a faceplate, a load and a spring clip extending rearward from the faceplate to interface with a receptacle body, wherein the spring clip includes a flexible conductive portion connected to the face plate by a first end and a non-conductive portion connected to an opposite end of the flexible conductive portion, wherein the spring clips extract electrical power from the receptacle body to energize the load.

Abstract: In one example, a modified electrical device includes a body and at least one connector on the body to make power and control connections with an active cover plate. A system includes an active cover plate comprising low voltage circuitry and a first interface and a modified electrical device. The modified electrical device includes high voltage circuitry and a second interface to connect to the first interface to supply low voltage to the active cover plate. A method for controlling a flow of power through a modified electrical device is also provided.

Abstract: In one example, an active cover plate includes a faceplate, a load and a spring clip adjustable in at least one of a horizontal direction and a vertical direction with respect to the faceplate to electrically interface with a receptacle body and extract electrical power from the receptacle body to energize the load. A method for installing an active cover plate on an electrical receptacle is also provided.

Abstract: A mounting device to attach peripheral equipment while operating a bicycle, said mounting device having a base and an aperture in the base to permit a mounting bolt to be inserted, a peripheral wall projecting above the base and defining a receptacle to permit the peripheral equipment to be mounted to the base.
