Patent number: 11965664Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems, apparatuses, and methods for monitoring building efficiency by a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. In an aspect, an HVAC unit including a memory and a processor coupled with the memory is disclosed. The processor may be configured to establish a current building efficiency state value of a current run cycle of the HVAC system. The processor may also be configured to determine an building efficiency state deviation value based on a difference between an average building efficiency state value of a set of previous building efficiency state values and the current building efficiency state value. The processor may further be configured to determine whether the building efficiency state deviation value satisfies a building inefficiency threshold.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2019Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Tyco Fire & Security GmbHInventors: Madhuka Manuranga Jayarathne, Theresa Thy N.

Patent number: 11944540Abstract: Described herein are devices and methods for mitral valve repair. The devices and methods implant a plurality of distal anchors at an annulus of the mitral valve (e.g., the posterior annulus) and tension artificial chordae to pull the portion of the annulus toward an opposite edge and inward into the ventricle. This can effectively reduce the size of the orifice and increase coaptation. The delivery devices can be configured to be actuated to form a distal anchor made of a pre-formed knot. The delivery devices deliver the pre-formed knot in an elongate configuration. Actuation of the delivery device causes the pre-formed knot to transition from the elongate configuration to the deployed configuration by approximating opposite ends of a suture coupled to a coiled configuration to form one or more loops. After formation of the knot, the delivery device can be withdrawn.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2020Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignees: University of Maryland, Baltimore, Harpoon Medical, Inc.Inventors: Michael Nicholas D'ambra, Felino V. Cortez, Jr., James S. Gammie, Peter Wilson, Stephen Epstein, Stephen Cournane, Julie Marie Etheridge, Peter Boyd

Publication number: 20240003567Abstract: A system faults to a return air sensor integrated within a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) unit. The system transmits a signal to a remote sensor. The system determines that a return signal is not received from the remote sensor. The system obtains a temperature reading from the return air sensor. The system determines whether the temperature reading satisfies a temperature setting stored in the memory. In response to determining that the temperature reading does not satisfy the temperature setting, the system enables heating or cooling of the HVAC unit until the temperature setting is satisfied. In response to determining that the temperature reading satisfies the temperature setting, the system disables heating or cooling of the HVAC unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2023Publication date: January 4, 2024Inventors: Madhuka Manuranga JAYARATHNE, Thomas D.
