International Classification:

A61F 2/24

US Classification:

623 211

Abstract:

An implant holder for removably retaining an implant during an implantation procedure includes a holder device having a frame defining a chamber. The frame may be configured for removable retention of an implant, such as the flexible bioprosthetic heart valve, substantially within the chamber. The removable retention of the implant to the implant holder maintains the implant in an orientation and shape suitable for implantation.

Abstract:

A method for passivating a biomaterial surface includes exposing the biomaterial surface to therapeutic electrical energy in the presence of blood or plasma. The biomaterial surface may be removably secured within a chamber of a treatment system, which communicates the therapeutic electrical energy to the biomaterial surface while interfacing the biomaterial surface with blood or plasma.

International Classification:

G06T 300

US Classification:

395135

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for creating a video image of a subsequent photographic print having a posed subject and a selected special effects modification added to it. Included are a computer having a data input device, a data storage device preferably housing a plurality of special effects, a data recall device, a video image capture device, and a video display device. The video image capture device provides a video image of a posed subject on the video display device, while the data recall device provides a special effect from the data storage device. Both the posed subject and the special effect are simultaneously displayed on the video display device to thereby create a combination display of the special effect and the posed subject. Examples of special effects which can be stored for recall include vignetting, burnt corners, a blend for double exposure, soft focus, captions and graphics. In this manner, a subject to be photographed can view a selection of special effects modifications to the video image and thereafter choose a desired combination of the two.
