Patent number: 11429692Abstract: A size M×N sparse matrix, including zero values, is multiplied with a size N vector, using a processor arrangement. A data storage linked to the processor arrangement stores the matrix in a compressed formal. Zero values are not stored. The data storage stores the vector as vector parts, each of a respective size Ki, 1<Ki<N and i=1 . . . P. A vector part comprises a vector element in common with another vector part. Each vector part is stored in a distinct memory block. Each of a plurality of the non-zero values of a matrix row is associated with a memory block storing an element of the vector having an index corresponding with a respective index of the non-zero value. The processor arrangement multiplies, in parallel, each of the plurality of the non-zero values of the matrix row by the respective vector element having a corresponding index stored in the associated memory block.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2019Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: Myrtle Software LimitedInventors: David Page, Christiaan Baaij, Jonathan Shipton, Peter Baldwin, Graham Hazel, Jonathan Fowler

Publication number: 20210275770Abstract: A conduit for a breathing circuit includes a heater associated, at least in part, with a hydrophilic layer. The purpose of the heater is to evaporate any condensed liquid collecting in the conduit, which is first sucked up by the hydrophilic layer. The heated wick reduces the risk of collected water being passed to the patient and causing choking fits or discomfit. It is preferred that the heated wick lies freely in the conduit to settle at low points in the conduit where condensation may collect.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 18, 2021Publication date: September 9, 2021Inventors: Daniel John SMITH, David Peter BALDWIN

Patent number: 10286174Abstract: An expiratory limb for a breathing circuit includes an enclosing wall defining a flexible singular expiratory flow passage between an inlet and an outlet and bounding the flexible singular expiratory flow passage and ambient air. The expiratory limb includes one or more regions of the enclosing wall that made from a material that allows passage of water vapor without allowing passage of liquid water, thereby forming a water vapor flow path from the flexible singular expiratory flow passage to the ambient air through the material. The expiratory limb is configured to allow diffusion of water vapor along the flexible singular expiratory flow passage and dry the flow of expiratory gases between the inlet and the outlet.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2018Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: Fisher & Paykel Healthcare LimitedInventors: Daniel John Smith, Gavin Walsh Millar, Kevin Blake Powell, David Peter Baldwin
