  • Patent number: 10885591
    Abstract: Systems and methods involving a rating module that access a single, voluminous table or multiple tables stored in a searchable data store (e.g., database) to execute various queries (e.g., SQL JOIN) to search the table(s) is disclosed. The system may include an underlying linear programming platform (e.g., optimization engine and associated components) that includes an application programmer's interface (e.g., Python API) that may be used to perform optimization using illustrative optimization libraries (e.g., optimizer). The system may be communicatively coupled with a vehicle and/or other device to communicate/output ratings information to a user.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10400773
    Abstract: A variable speed blower for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) ventilation of patients includes two impellers in the gas flow path that cooperatively pressurize gas to desired pressure and flow characteristics. Thus, the blower can provide faster pressure response and desired flow characteristics over a narrower range of motor speeds, resulting in greater reliability and less acoustic noise.
