An annuloplasty ring to resize a dilated aortic root during valve sparing surgery includes a scalloped space frame having three trough sections connected to define three crest sections. The annuloplasty ring is mounted outside the aortic root, and extends in height between a base plane and a spaced apart commissure plane of the aortic root. At least two adjacent trough sections are coupled by an annulus-restraining member or tether that limits the maximum deflection of the base of the annuloplasty ring. In use, the tether is preferably located in proximity to the base plane of the aortic root. The annuloplasty ring is movable between a first, substantially conical configuration occurring during a diastolic phase of the cardiac cycle, and a second, substantially cylindrical configuration occurring during a systolic phase of the cardiac cycle. The attachment of the annuloplasty ring in proximity to the cardiac valve annulus allows the ring to regulate the dimensions of a dynamic aortic root during the different phases of the cardiac cycle.

Microelectromechanical RF and microwave frequency power regulator

Microelectromechanical RF and microwave frequency power limiter and electrostatic protection devices for use in high-speed circuits are presented. The devices utilize an airbridge or a cantilever arm including a contact pad positioned operatively adjacent to an electrically conductive and substantially planar transmission line. When the power level in the transmission line exceeds a particular threshold, the airbridge or cantilever arm yields due to force between the contact pad and the transmission line, directing undesired power away from active devices. This characteristic can either serve as a method by which to limit the amount of power passing through the transmission line to a determined value or as a method by which to protect devices along the transmission line from damage due to large electrostatic bursts.
