Scientist Robert Jarvik, who along with Willem Johan Kolff, William DeVries, and the university of Utah patented the first type of artificial heart that could be successfully fitted inside humans (Jarvik-7), has passed from Parkinson's at 79. His contributions to the medical science industry will certainly always have historical significance. Rest well, Robert Jarvik.

I know about the Jarvik 7. I actually first learned about it from Double Dare, as there was a question asking what it was. I had no idea he died. May he rest in peace.
