Abstract: A device includes a handle, an expandable structure including a plurality of splines extending from a proximal hub to a distal hub, a first electrode on a first spline of the plurality of splines, an outer tube extending from the handle to the proximal hub, and a shaft extending through the outer tube from the handle to the distal hub. The expandable structure has a collapsed state and a self-expanded state. The handle is configured to retract the shaft. Retracting the shaft may expand the expandable structure outward of the self-expanded state.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide hydro-power generation systems for irrigation systems. In some embodiments, a system comprises a generator comprising a turbine at least partially inserted into a fluid flow path of a conduit of the irrigation system and to be activated by a fluid flow in the conduit, wherein the generator is to output an electrical power signal; a control circuit to: determine a characteristic of the electrical power signal; determine, based on the characteristic, a load impedance selected from a plurality of load impedances; and output a control signal to select the load impedance. The system also comprises a variable load circuit to: receive the control signal; and provide the load impedance, where an impedance of the variable load circuit is based on the characteristic to provide power generation over various flow rates of fluid in the fluid flow path.

Abstract: A surgical stapler for applying a suture to tissue includes a first jaw and a second jaw configured to receive a cartridge. An actuation mechanism translates a drive member distally through the first and second jaws to apply staples to tissue such that a suture, in combination with the staples, forms a purse string when the stapler activated. The cartridge includes a first upper portion and a second lower portion.

Abstract: A solar thermochemical processing system is disclosed. The system includes a first unit operation for receiving concentrated solar energy. Heat from the solar energy is used to drive the first unit operation. The first unit operation also receives a first set of reactants and produces a first set of products. A second unit operation receives the first set of products from the first unit operation and produces a second set of products. A third unit operation receives heat from the second unit operation to produce a portion of the first set of reactants.

Abstract: Devices, systems and methods are provided to treat damaged, diseased, abnormal, obstructive, undesired or potentially undesired tissue by delivering specialized pulsed electric field (PEF) energy and optionally therapeutic agents to target tissue areas, particularly within the vasculature. The therapy may be used to treat a variety of conditions, particularly conditions of the vascular system such as atherosclerosis and angina. Once a target tissue area has been identified as associated with vascular spasm, the target tissue areas are treated with PEF energy. Optionally, one or more agents can be delivered as well in conjunction with the treatment. Although the primary focus is on treating the coronary arteries, such treatment may be applicable to other portions of the vasculature, including the peripheral vasculature. Likewise, such treatment may be applicable to other body lumens.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the technology disclosed herein involve managing a connection between users of a first profile class and users of a second profile class based on proximity. Location data from a first mobile device is used to determine that a first user of a first class is within a first proximity of a property. The property has at least one parameter identified in a user profile of the first user of the first class. Location data from a second mobile device is used to determine that a second user of a second class is within a second proximity of the property. A notification is transmitted to the first mobile device identifying the property, and at least the second user of the second class. A message is received from the first mobile device indicating selection of the second user. The first mobile device connects with the second mobile device.

Abstract: A filtration media with improved filtration, strength, tear resistance and air permeability in the form of a relatively thin and lightweight wet-laid fibrous web that has a wet Mullen ratio of 60% to 80% to ensure that the media is flexible enough to be formed into a fluted structure, and strong enough to retain the fluted structure when wound into a roll and to permit further processing without the media becoming too brittle. The filtration media comprises a blend of cellulose and synthetic fibers having a weight percent of 81 wt % to 87 wt % of a weight of the media and a resin binder having a weight of 13 wt % to 19 wt % (preferably about 16 wt %) of the weight of the media.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing situational awareness to pilots of an aircraft. One example system includes an electronic processor configured to receive a raw sensor value for an operational characteristic of the aircraft and generate a processed sensor value based on the raw sensor value. The electronic processor is configured to provide the processed sensor value to a flight control system. The electronic processor is configured to generate a first digital gauge object that includes a graphical representation of the raw sensor value. The electronic processor is configured to generate a second digital gauge object that includes a graphical representation of the processed sensor value and a graphical representation indicating that the processed sensor value is being displayed. The electronic processor is configured to present the first digital gauge object on a first display of the aircraft and the second digital gauge object on a second display of the aircraft.
