Publication number: 20210236755Abstract: Traditionally, vital signs monitors in the veterinary setting have been designed for use with human subjects that have simply been repurposed for use in the veterinary space. While some changes may be made to the human monitor to make it more amenable for veterinary use (e.g., changing the monitor display options from “adult” and “pediatric” to “large animal” and “small animal”), these changes are generally only done on a superficial level and thus omit significant veterinary-specific functionality that might otherwise be obtained. Further, vital signs monitors do not include a pre-procedure checklist or any functionality to increase safety awareness and allow clinics to ensure compliance with certain pre-procedure protocols. Accordingly, it is a purpose of the present invention to provide a veterinary-specific vitals signs monitor that overcomes these traditional limitations and increases the ease and efficiency with which veterinary care can be delivered.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2021Publication date: August 5, 2021Inventors: Chris King, Andrew W. Schultz, JR., Jenny Flynn, Guy Waterman, Joyce Ahrens

Patent number: 10083623Abstract: A firefighter training fixture for simulating a ceiling pull maneuver includes a pair of side sections and a ceiling section. The ceiling section is interposed between an upper portion of each of the side sections. The ceiling section has at least one compartment for receiving at least one ceiling panel. In some embodiments, the side section has adjustable arms that can increase the height of the ceiling section. In one embodiment, the receiving compartments are configured to receive a drywall panel. The ceiling section can also have piping extending across the receiving compartments to simulate electrical conduit or utility piping encountered by firefighters in the field. In some embodiments, a step ladder is attached to the fixture to allow for convenient installation of ceiling panels into the compartments.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2015Date of Patent: September 25, 2018Inventor: Chris King

Patent number: 9927154Abstract: Cryogenic cooling apparatus is disclosed for cooling a target region using the demagnetization cooling effect. The apparatus has a primary magnet for providing a magnetic field within the target region and a demagnetization magnet arranged to selectively provide conductive cooling to the target region. A primary shielding magnet substantially cancels the magnetic field from the primary magnet at least at a first position between the primary and demagnetization magnets. A demagnetization shielding magnet substantially cancels the magnetic field from the demagnetization magnet at least at the first position between the primary and demagnetization magnets. Each of the primary shielding magnet and demagnetization shielding magnet comprises a cylindrical superconducting coil having a geometric envelope which encloses the primary magnet and demagnetization magnet respectively. A conductive cooling assembly provides conductive cooling to each of the magnets.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2014Date of Patent: March 27, 2018Assignee: OXFORD INSTRUMENTS NANOTECHNOLOGY TOOLS LIMITEDInventor: Chris King

Publication number: 20160218915Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention support unobtrusive remote management of a data center. In an embodiment of the invention, an appliance can be positioned within a data center and coupled both to the individual components in the data center's network and also to a wireless access point coupled to a cellular data modern. The appliance can provide a terminal services session to a remote client via the cellular data communications link. A network management application can execute in the appliance and can be configured to establish configuration parameters in the network's router. Configuration directives can be received from the remote computer through the terminal services session to establish configuration parameters in the router. The client's network can be remotely managed without requiring the manual configuration of the network internally to permit remote access through the firewall into the data center.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2015Publication date: July 28, 2016Inventors: Ricky G Draper, Adam Gallipeau, Chris King, David Gagnon
