A prosthetic heart valve includes a collapsible and expandable stent having a proximal end, a distal end, an annulus section adjacent the proximal end and an aortic section adjacent the distal end. The heart valve further includes a plurality of commissure features disposed on the stent, and a collapsible and expandable valve assembly, the valve assembly including a plurality of leaflets connected to the plurality of commissure features, each of the plurality of leaflets having a free edge and being configured to have a tension line aligned near the free edge to prevent backflow.

Leaflet in configuration for function in various shapes and sizes

Fabricating a capacitor includes performing an oxide formation operation on a sheet of material. The oxide formation operation forms an anode metal oxide on an anode metal. A thermal compression is performed on the sheet of material after the oxide formation operation is performed. The thermal compression applies thermal energy to the sheet of material while applying pressure to the sheet of material. After the thermal compression, the capacitor is assembled such that at least one electrode in the capacitor includes at least a portion of the sheet of material.

A battery-operated motion sensor controlled toilet tank air filter including a pair of exhaust housing bodies and an attachment bracket to hang the exhaust housing bodies from the upper sides of a toilet tank and to house a centrally disposed motion sensor, which upon detection of motion, activates a single transmitter operationally communicating therewith. The transmitter then activates a motor disposed within each housing body to operate a respective fan, which directs airflow drawn in through a respective louvered air inlet port through a pair of compartments containing an activated charcoal air filter and a scented air filter therein, and subsequently out through an air exhaust port to provide clean and scented air in the bathroom.
