Patent number: 11992227Abstract: The invention is a system and a device for use in open or minimally invasive surgical procedures, such as a bone implant fixation procedure. The device is configured to perform various functions during a bone implant fixation procedure, including performing at least one of: penetration of a bone to form a hole or opening for receipt of a screw; neuromonitoring, in cooperation with a neuromonitoring device, of the hole during, or post-, formation of the hole so as to sense any nearby nerves adjacent to the hole that may be in the path of a screw, or otherwise affected, when a screw is placed within the hole; neurostimulation, in cooperation with a neuromonitoring device, of nerves adjacent to the hole during, or post-, formation of the hole; and measuring of a depth of the hole and providing a digital measurement of the depth to assist the surgeon in selecting the appropriate length of screw.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2021Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: EDGE SURGICAL, INC.Inventors: Tomas Matusaitis, Kenneth Hoos, Christopher Wilson, Robert F.

Publication number: 20240165362Abstract: A connector is provided for coupling with an invasive patient interface for providing respiratory support to a patient. The connector comprises a connector body having: (i) an inlet port couplable with a flow source providing a flow of respiratory gas; (ii) a gases exit port; and (iii) a device port couplable with the invasive patient interface. The connector also has a lumen having a first end and a second end. The connector body defines a gas flow path between the inlet port and both the device port and the lumen first end and the lumen second end is disposed outside the device port. The lumen provides improved CO2 clearance. Some embodiments provide for gas sampling and/or variable expiratory resistance.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2022Publication date: May 23, 2024Inventors: Thomas Heinrich BARNES, Xavier Roy Wallace SANDER, Craig Karl WHITE, Karan DEVA, Alicia Jerram Hunter EVANS, Anthony Behram ZEMKE, Matthew Jon PAYTON

Patent number: 11980713Abstract: Several methods of supporting respiratory function of a patient before, during and/or after a medical procedure are disclosed. In certain arrangements, supporting respiratory function while a patient is under general anaesthesia can include providing a high gas flow a high gas flow that is greater than 15 L/min while the patient is under general anaesthesia. In certain arrangements, a method of providing ventilation while a patient is under general anaesthesia involves providing only a gas flow delivered through a nasal interface that is greater than 15 L/min while the patient is under general anaesthesia.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2022Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: FISHER & PAYKEL HEALTHCARE LIMITEDInventors: Craig Karl White, Alicia Jerram Hunter Evans, Matthew Jon Payton, Geraldine Frances Keogh, Nicholas Simon David Connolly, Anil Patel, Seyed Ahmad Reza Nouraei

Patent number: 11955675Abstract: A fuel cell system includes a membrane electrode assembly, a first plate separator and a second plate separator on opposite sides of the membrane electrode assembly. The first plate separator and the second plate separator have exterior ends away from the membrane electrode assembly. A first gas diffusion layer is located between the first plate separator and the membrane electrode assembly. A second gas diffusion layer is located between the second plate separator and the membrane electrode assembly. The sub-gasket extends from the membrane electrode assembly laterally toward at least one of the exterior ends. A first seal is located between the first plate separator and the sub-gasket. A conductive trace is attached to the sub-gasket and extends on the sub-gasket from an exterior side of the first seal to a location on an interior side of the first seal.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: PLUG POWER INC.Inventors: Jon Owejan, Edward Snyder, Glenn White

Publication number: 20240108847Abstract: A breathing assistance apparatus and method of controlling a breathing assistance apparatus is disclosed. Particularly, the breathing assistance apparatus is controlled such that it has a drying cycle to enable drying of the tubing that supplies gases to a user and prevent the harbouring of pathogens within the tube. The drying cycle is preferably operated automatically by internal controllers in the apparatus. However, it may be manually activated by pressing a button on the apparatus. The drying cycle is preferably activated at the end of a user's treatment session.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 26, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Matthew Jon Payton, Kevin Peter O'Donnell, Christopher Simon James Quill, Ian Douglas Makinson, Emily Joy Drake, Craig Karl White, Virginia Louise Owen

Publication number: 20240091475Abstract: A respiratory assistance system can provide high flow therapy to patients. The respiratory assistance system can include a patient interface that can deliver a gas flow to a patient and a gas source that can drive the gas flow towards the patient interface at an operating flow rate. The system can include a controller for controlling the operating flow rate of the gas. The controller can apply multiple test flow rate values in a range as the operating flow rate. For each of the test flow rate values, the controller can measure a patient parameter. The controller can determine a new flow rate value based on the measured patient parameters. Patient parameters can include respiration rate, work of breathing, or any other parameters related to the respiratory circuit.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Matthew Jon Payton, Callum James Thomas Spence, Alicia Jerram Hunter Evans, Andreas Schibler, Craig Karl White, Samantha Dale Oldfield
