The MOVA Globe has an inner globe that rotates and is contained within an outer shell, which does not rotate, made of clear acrylic. The thin space between the inner globe and outer shell is filled with a safe, perfectly clear fluid. Low-light solar cells are placed behind the globeâs graphics. 2  Light penetrates the graphics and powers the motor. 3  The MOVA Globe uses the earthâs magnetic field to produce countertorque. 4  Optical projection makes the globe appear to turn on its base.
A ventricular assist device (VAD) â also known as a mechanical circulatory support device â is an implantable mechanical pump that helps pump blood from the lower chambers of your heart (the ventricles) to the rest of your body. A VAD is used in people who have weakened hearts or heart failure. Although a VAD can be placed in the left, right or both ventricles of your heart, it is most frequently used in the left ventricle. When placed in the left ventricle it is called a left ventricular assist device (LVAD). You may have a VAD implanted while you wait for a heart transplant or for your heart to become strong enough to effectively pump blood on its own.
