Patent number: 10799656Abstract: A flow of breathable gas is delivered to a subject through a patient interface assembly. An enhanced technique for determining whether the airway of subject is disengaged from the patient interface assembly. A model that provides predicted values of a dynamic property of the flow of breathable gas is fit to measured values of the dynamic property. The model and/or the fit of the predicted values to the measured values are then analyzed to determine whether or not the airway of the subject is disengaged from the patient interface assembly. This provide enhanced determination of these conditions even in implementations in which a restrictive patient interface assembly is used.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2013Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Nathan John Berry Ann, William Anthony Truschel

Patent number: 10293126Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to a mechanical ventilator system configured to deliver a pressurized flow of breathable gas to the airway of a subject. The system is configured to generate the pressurized flow of breathable gas according to a volume control mode therapy regime that delivers a target tidal volume to the subject during inhalation. During an individual inhalation, the system is configured to determine and/or adjust an inspiratory pressure level of the pressurized flow of breathable gas of the volume control mode therapy regime. The inspiratory pressure level is adjusted such that during the inhalation the inspiratory pressure level is not reduced to impede respiratory effort by the subject responsive to the target tidal volume being exceeded during the inhalation. The system comprises one or more of a pressure generator, a subject interface, one or more sensors, one or more processors, a user interface, electronic storage, and/or other components.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2013Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Nathan John Berry Ann, William Anthony Truschel

Patent number: 9943535Abstract: Foods or meals high in available carbohydrate such as sucrose or starch increase postprandial blood glucose concentrations. Repeated high post-prandial plasma glucose “spikes” are associated with an increased risk of developing type II diabetes. Unregulated glycemic excursions are undesirable, and any reduction or “blunting” of the post-prandial glucose concentration in blood is potentially beneficial. This invention relates to an edible composition for delay of intestinal glucose uptake through synergistic inhibition of both active sodium glucose co-transporter 1 (SGLT1) and passive glucose transporter 2 (GLUT2) leading to flattening or blunting of the post-prandial glucose peak.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2013Date of Patent: April 17, 2018Assignee: CONOPCO, INC.Inventors: Mark John Berry, Mark Ian Fowler, Alan David Heath

Patent number: 9849315Abstract: An apparatus for extinguishing a stovetop fire including a microwave positioned above the stove top, a compartment defined in the microwave; and a closure retained in a closed position on the microwave. A projection member is positioned within the compartment, the projection member retained in a retracted position while the closure is in the closed position. A supply of fire suppressant material is retained within the compartment when the closure is in the closed position, the supply of fire suppressant material including a second burner portion positioned against the projection member. A heat responsive actuator is disposed on the microwave. When the microwave is positioned over a first burner on the stovetop, and the fire actuates the heat responsive actuator, the closure moves to an open position and the projection member moves to an extended position, the projection member forcing the second burner portion toward a second burner.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2017Date of Patent: December 26, 2017Assignee: Suppressor, LLCInventors: Rick Scarola, John Berry, Dave Seeman, Evan Reese

Publication number: 20170049676Abstract: The inventors have observed that aqueous mustard seed extract appears to be cytotoxic to fibroblast cells. The cytotoxicity of the aqueous mustard seed extract appears to abate when the extract is heat treated at 120° C. for 15 minutes. The heat treated aqueous mustard seed extract when combined with exogenous myrosinase is not cytotoxic but can induce a modest increase in HO-1 content in cultured fibroblasts and thus would be expected to be useful in a topical composition for treating/preventing itchy skin, particularly the scalp. This invention thus relates to the provision of a topical composition for treating/preventing itchy skin, particularly the scalp.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 21, 2015Publication date: February 23, 2017Applicant: Conopco, Inc., d/b/a UNILEVERInventors: Mark John BERRY, Mark lan FOWLER, Gail JENKINS, Jennifer Elizabeth POPLE, Sally Pamela REDFERN

Patent number: 9451785Abstract: This invention relates to a plurality of compositions for dietary health management and its use in the prevention or treatment of any one of the disease states in the group consisting of cardiovascular disease, inflammation and diarrhoea. Human evolution has been a very slow process in contrast to the relatively recent, rapid changes in our diet since the Neolithic revolution which marked the switch from hunter-gatherer to agricultural life-style around 10,000 years ago. Moreover our genome has not had time to evolve at the same pace and therefore it is postulated that our bodies will work more efficiently with an ancestral diet.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2011Date of Patent: September 27, 2016Assignee: Conopco Inc.Inventors: Mark John Berry, Heather Frances Jennifer Bligh, John Casey, Karl John Hunter, Robèr Antoine Kemperman

Publication number: 20160271045Abstract: The invention relates to use of chitosan or a salt thereof in an anti-perspirant composition as an anti-perspirant ingredient. Current anti-perspirants are based on aluminium, but inorganic salts have the effect of leaving white patches on clothes. Additionally there is a perceived health risk associated with aluminium The current approach is to reduce the amount of aluminium in antiperspirants or to use additional metal salts such as those of zirconium. However, this approach tends to lower the efficacy of the formulation and hence prove more expensive. Zirconium-based antiperspirants tend to leave yellow patches on clothes. Use of chitosan or a salt thereof in an anti-perspirant composition as an anti-perspirant ingredient is provided, wherein the chitosan or salt thereof has a degree of acetylation of 0-15, preferably 0-12, most preferably 0-10%, wherein the chitosan or salt thereof is either in an anhydrous form or dissolved in water at a pH of no more than 6.0, preferably no more than 5.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2014Publication date: September 22, 2016Applicant: Conopco, Inc., d/b/a UNILEVERInventors: Mark John BERRY, John CASEY, Karl John HUNTER
