Patent number: 11992692Abstract: This document describes an automated external defibrillator comprising a control configured to switch between a pediatric operating mode and an adult operating mode, wherein each operating mode comprises a mode-specific energy configuration and a mode-specific user configuration; an indicator configured to provide an indication of the operating mode in use during a resuscitation process; one or more processors configured to switch to the mode-specific energy configuration and the mode-specific user configuration upon a change of operating mode between the pediatric operating mode and the adult operating mode such that the automated external defibrillator delivers a defibrillating shock to a patient based on the mode-specific energy configuration; and an interface of the automated external defibrillator provides resuscitation instructions to a user based on the mode-specific user configuration.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2021Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: ZOLL Medical CorporationInventors: Melissa M. Dascoli, Charles E. Sawyer, Jr., Bill Gastrock, Dustin Boutet, Gary A. Freeman, James Wilson, Brian Stonecipher, Ian Durrant, George Reilly, Mark Bates

Patent number: 11977826Abstract: A computer-implemented method of simulating operation of an electric drive unit to predict one or more performance parameters of the electric drive unit is provided. The electric drive unit includes at least an electric motor. The method includes obtaining parameters defining physical properties of the electric motor, obtaining parameters defining drive currents for driving the electric motor, processing the obtained parameters using a machine learning module trained a priori to predict a spatially varying electromagnetic and/or mechanical and/or thermal profile within the electric motor during operation, and providing as output a predicted profile for the electric motor, and using the predicted profile to compute the one or more performance parameters of the electric drive unit.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2023Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Monumo LimitedInventors: Chun-Ting Lau, Daniel Bates, Kevin Bersch, William Gallafent, Jaroslaw Pawel Rzepecki, Alexey Kostin, Jonathan Rayner, Markus Kaiser, Nicolas Durrande, Rupert Tombs, Ian Murphy

Publication number: 20100008514Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for an audio belt buckle. The audio belt buckle contains a belt buckle housing, at least one speaker, an audio input receiver, an amplification device, and a power source. The belt buckle housing is coupled to a first end of a belt of a user. The belt buckle housing is configured to secure an opposing end of the belt to hold the belt around the waist of a user. The speaker is coupled to the belt buckle housing and is directed away from the user's body. The audio input receiver is also coupled to the belt buckle housing and is configured to receive audio input. The amplification device is coupled to the audio input, the speaker, and the power source.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2009Publication date: January 14, 2010Inventors: Ian Bates, David Williams, Chase Wallis

Publication number: 20080217191Abstract: We describe a carrier which seeks to prevent containers, such as bottles, located in compartments at open ends of the carrier from slipping out of the carrier. We also describe a carrier in which adjacently located bottles are prevented from contacting into each other. We further describe a carrier in which sliding movement of a loaded carrier across a surface is minimised.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 26, 2007Publication date: September 11, 2008Applicant: SMURFIT KAPPA ZEDEK B.V.Inventors: Ian Bates, Lourens Van Pesch

Publication number: 20050103145Abstract: A gearbox actuator comprising a selector shaft 2 which is arranged in a housing and is driven by a drive. A shift finger 3 and disengaging shaped elements 4 used to actuate gearshift rails are arranged on the selector shaft, and jibs for 12-15 supporting and guiding the gearshift rails are arranged on the housing. The gearbox actuator 1 comprises the central selector shaft 2 mounted in bearing elements 19 and comprises a shift finger 3 and two disengaging shaped elements 4 arranged in the center thereof, at a distance corresponding to the width of a channel. Preferably, the selector shaft 2 is driven by a brushless motor 5 by means of a double planetary stage 6 and a toothed segment 7 which engages a toothed wheel 16 that is preferably positioned in a housing element 17. A preferably second brushless motor 8 drives a sliding element 37 by means of spindle 9, the sliding element displacing the shift finger 3 and the disengaging shaped elements 4 on the selector shaft 2.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2004Publication date: May 19, 2005Applicant: LUK LAMELLEN UND KUPPLUNGSBAU BETEILIGUNGS KGInventors: Burkhard Pollak, Terry Morgan, James Lethbridge, Ian Bates

Patent number: 6764980Abstract: An oil field production chemical, especially a scale inhibitor, is in the form of particles thereof carrying a coating e.g. of a dispersing agent. The coating may be polymeric such as an oligomeric polyacid polyester, a polymeric alkoxylated alcohol or a fatty acid polyamine condensate or it may also be a surfactant and may be used in the form of a suspension in an inert oil, such as diesel oil or kerosene which may be injected into a subterranean formation to inhibit the formation of deposits, e.g. scale in oil wells over a longer period than compounds free of the coating.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2002Date of Patent: July 20, 2004Assignee: BP Exploration Operating Company LimitedInventors: Christopher Ian Bates, Ian Ralph Collins, Paul Derek Ravenscroft
