Patent number: 7302949Abstract: An improved humidifier which may be used with a nasal cannula for high-flow respiratory gas therapy wherein a sterilized liquid is drawn from a sterilized liquid container by a high-flow driving gas passing adjacent to an aspirator tube orifice through which the sterilized liquid is drawn into contact with the driving gas for fracturing the liquid into a mist which is warmed and delivered to the patient or user, and the driving gas is also passed adjacent a condensate return orifice which draws any condensate formed in the humidified respiratory gas delivery system away from the cannula and back into the system for re-use.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2004Date of Patent: December 4, 2007Assignee: Smiths Medical ASD, Inc.Inventors: Richard K. Pelerossi, Fredrick M. Richards, Rex A. Niles, Gregory S. King

Patent number: 6776159Abstract: An oscillatory positive expiratory pressure respiratory therapy device which may be incorporated into the expiratory limb of a ventilator circuit. Accordingly, this device allows a patient on a ventilator to be subjected to positive expiratory pressure (PEP) therapy combined with airway oscillation and intermittent air flow acceleration while allowing the oscillatory PEP respiratory therapy treatment to be bypassed without interrupting the integrity of the ventilating circuit once the device has been installed in the ventilator circuit. In this manner, all expiratory air in the ventilator circuit is accounted for, the expiratory air volume may be accurately monitored and the ventilator circuit does not have to be broken for insertion or removal of the device.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2003Date of Patent: August 17, 2004Assignee: DHD Healthcare CorporationInventors: Richard K. Pelerossi, Gregory S. King, Jennifer M. Foran, Lawrence A. Weinstein, Fredrick M. Richards, Christopher T. Zirps, Robert H. Elden

Patent number: 5868534Abstract: An inflatable dunnage bag is comprised of a first and independently sealed bag that is inserted within a paper tube before the tube ends are sealed to form a second, independent bag. The combination of an inner bag within an outer bag provides increased bursting strength compared to similar ply bags created as only a single bag. The combination bag is much easier to construct since at least two plies of paper that are pressed to form the inner bag are no longer part of the bag end folding and sealing process. This is especially true if the outer bags ends are sealed by stitching them together.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 1997Date of Patent: February 9, 1999Assignee: Illinois Tool Works Inc.Inventors: Douglas A. Goshorn, Gregory S. King, Hugh J. Zentmyer
