Patent number: 11931512Abstract: A patient interface including a positioning and stabilizing structure that is configured to maintain a first seal-forming structure and a second seal-forming structure in a therapeutically effective position. The positioning and stabilizing structure comprises a frame coupled to the plenum chamber. The frame includes a central portion coupled to the plenum chamber outside of the cavity. The frame also includes a pair of arms that extend away from the central portion in a posterior direction past the second seal-forming structure. The pair of arms are more flexible than the central portion. The positioning and stabilizing structure also includes headgear straps coupled to the frame, which configured to provide a tensile force to the first seal-forming structure and to the second seal-forming structure into the patient's face via the frame.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2020Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: ResMed Pty LtdInventors: Matthew Eves, Andrew James Bate, Sebastien Deubel, Paul Derrick Watson, Matthew Robin Wells, Beng Hai Tan, Chee Keong Ong, Marvin Sugi Hartono, Han Cheng Lin

Patent number: 9221704Abstract: A fluid-cooled through-port oxy-fuel burner for converting an air-fuel regenerator port from air-fuel combustion to oxy-fuel combustion and an associated furnace and method. The oxy-fuel burner is suitable for installing through a regenerator port neck. The burner has an elbow-like bend to accommodate the geometry of the regenerator port neck. The burner has a cooling fluid jacket, a fuel conduit, a first oxidant conduit, and optionally an oxidant staging conduit.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2011Date of Patent: December 29, 2015Assignee: AIR PRODUCTS AND CHEMICALS, INC.Inventors: Mark Daniel D'Agostini, Michael Edward Habel, Matthew James Watson

Patent number: 8727767Abstract: An apparatus for continuation of combustion with a combustion apparatus when the supply of the normal operating oxidant or normal operating fuel is disrupted, or temporally reduced. Air or oxygen enriched air or oxygen and a gaseous fuel or a liquid fuel or both a gaseous and liquid fuel are introduced into the combustion apparatus in place of the normal oxidant-fuel mixture to effect combustion and maintain the heating level in the furnace. A burner capable of firing in any one of the following nine firing modes: Air-Gas; Air-Oxy-Gas; Oxy-Gas; Air-Oil; Air-Oxy-Oil; Oxy-Oil; Air-Oil-Gas; Air-Oxy-Oil-Gas; Oxy-Oil-Gas.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2010Date of Patent: May 20, 2014Assignee: Air Products and Chemicals, Inc.Inventors: Matthew James Watson, Douglas Jay Strange, Joseph Keith Juretus, Kevin Alan Lievre

Patent number: 8454354Abstract: An oxy-fuel burner that co-fires liquid fuel and gaseous fuel to create a more luminous flame. The characteristics of a liquid fuel spray and the gaseous fuel and primary oxidant gas flows, as well as the geometry of the burner is adapted to shroud the liquid fuel from the primary oxidant until it exits a precombustor and to prevent the liquid fuel from contacting the walls of the precombustor.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2008Date of Patent: June 4, 2013Assignee: Air Products and Chemicals, Inc.Inventors: Matthew James Watson, Mark Daniel D'Agostini, Jin Cao, Aleksandar Georgi Slavejkov

Patent number: 8172566Abstract: An apparatus for combustion of a liquid fuel, such as an atomizer or burner, and an associated method using the apparatus for combusting an atomized liquid fuel. The apparatus for combustion has an outer conduit, an inner conduit and a spray tip. The spray tip has a mixing chamber for receiving a liquid fuel and an atomizing gas, and an orifice for discharging the liquid fuel and atomizing gas mixture as an atomized liquid fuel. The inner conduit has external fins where at least some of the external fins contact the inner surface of the spray tip.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2010Date of Patent: May 8, 2012Assignee: Air Products and Chemicals, Inc.Inventors: Matthew James Watson, Xiaoyi He
