Patent number: 7856275Abstract: Apparatus for the non-invasive and specific activation of the vestibular system in a patient. Preferred embodiments of the present invention allow for the placement of a stimulating electrode in the ear canal while providing a firm and comfortable coupling with the patient. The stimulating electrode is a deformable material that contacts the skin in the ear canal. A stimulating device operates in cooperation with the stimulating electrode to generate a stimulation waveform for the stimulation of the vestibular system.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2006Date of Patent: December 21, 2010Assignee: Ric Investments, LLCInventors: Zachary Paul, Stefanie Lattner, Stefanida K. Blake, Patrick Devinney, Mark DiMatteo, Steven B. Radney, Peter Chi Fai Ho, Benjamin A. Giovannelli, Michael Cessna, Michael E. Colbaugh

Publication number: 20100126506Abstract: A pressure support system that comprises a patient circuit, a docking assembly, and a tank. The patient circuit delivers a pressurized flow of breathable gas to a patient. The docking assembly has an inlet and an outlet that is adapted to receive the pressurized flow of breathable gas, and is also adapted to be connected with the patient circuit. The tank is constructed and arranged to be removably connected with the docking assembly, and enables the pressurized flow of breathable gas to pass therethrough. The tank is also adapted to contain a liquid such that a humidity level of the pressurized flow of breathable gas is elevated as the pressurized flow of breathable gas passes therethrough.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2010Publication date: May 27, 2010Applicant: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS N.V.Inventors: JEFFREY KEPLER, MICHAEL E. MORT, RICHARD A. SEMAN, JR., MARK DIMATTEO, CHRISTOPHER J. MCCRACKEN, JAMES S. VREELAN, STEVEN B. RADNEY, MICHAEL BOBECK, ALLEN CAMERON, DAVID P. CHASTAIN, PATRICK F. McDERMOTT, WILLIAM J.

Patent number: 7617823Abstract: A gas delivery system comprising an external housing, a flow generator, and a vibration damper body. The flow generator is disposed in the external housing, and has a flow generator housing with a peripheral surface and a lower surface. The vibration damper body is disposed within the external housing and is formed of one or more compliant materials that are shaped to be complementary to the peripheral surface of the flow generator housing so as to engage the peripheral surface of the flow generator housing. The vibration damper body has a lower surface attached to a bottom surface of the external housing, and also has a peripheral surface formed such that at least one air gap is created between at least a portion of the vibration damper body and the external housing.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2005Date of Patent: November 17, 2009Assignee: RIC Investments, LLCInventors: Mark DiMatteo, Michael E. Mort, Jeffrey Kepler

Patent number: 7413173Abstract: A molded base plate for use in a humidifier and ventilation assembly is disclosed. The base plate is connected to a cover which forms the water chamber of the humidifier. A thermally conductive material is used in the molding process of the base plate so that heat applied to the base plate is conducted into the water.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2005Date of Patent: August 19, 2008Assignee: RIC Investments, LLCInventors: Mark DiMatteo, William Perroz, Jr.

Patent number: 7340966Abstract: A gas monitoring system that comprises a sensor, a first valve, and a second valve. The sensor is disposed within a sensor housing that has an inlet and an outlet. The sensor generates a signal based on a characteristic of a gas within the housing. The first valve is disposed at the inlet. The second valve is disposed at the outlet. The first valve and the second valve open and close based on an orientation of the sensor housing.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2005Date of Patent: March 11, 2008Assignee: RIC Investments, LLCInventors: Mark DiMatteo, Michael E.
