Publication number: 20230077034Abstract: An oxygen concentrator 100 apparatus and a method thereof implement operations control to efficiently release oxygen enriched gas to reduce potential waste. The control methodology may include generating a profile such as a minimum inhalation flow profile of the user. The profile may be based on a size parameter of the user. The method may determine one or more control parameters characterizing a bolus of oxygen enriched gas based on the generated flow profile. The control methodology may then generate a bolus release control signal, such as for a supply valve, according to the determined one or more control parameters. The oxygen concentrator may then, with the control signal, release and deliver a bolus of oxygen enriched gas for a user such as for reducing waste.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2022Publication date: March 9, 2023Applicants: ResMed Pty Ltd, RESMED PARIS SASInventors: Paul Andrew DICKENS, Dion Charles Chewe MARTIN, Olivier TESSIER, Peter WLODARCZYK

Publication number: 20220203058Abstract: Apparatus and methods provide control for generation of a flow of air to a patient's airways for different respiratory therapies. The pressure and a flow rate may be simultaneously controlled so as to provide a pressure therapy and a flow therapy. The system may include one or more flow generators, in which the control of the pressure and flow rate may include altering the output of one or more of the flow generators and/or an optional adjustable vent. The pressure and flow rate may each be held at a constant. One or both of the pressure and flow rate may also vary in accordance with a desired therapy. The air may be provided via a patient interface that includes a vent to atmosphere, which may be the adjustable vent. The vent may be actuated by a controller to implement the simultaneous control of pressure and flow rate of the air.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2022Publication date: June 30, 2022Applicant: ResMed Pty LtdInventors: Liam HOLLEY, Gordon Joseph MALOUF, Dion Charles Chewe MARTIN, Peter WLODARCZYK, Quangang YANG

Publication number: 20210361893Abstract: A therapy system configured to wash out or flush out the oral and/or nasal cavity to reduce the effective dead space and reduce the work of breathing. The system may displace the expired air in the oral and/or nasal cavity with atmospheric air, or air with altered concentrations, for example, increased humidity, or oxygen levels. A sealed oral interface is provided to the mouth of a patient to supply a volume of pressurized gas. A control system to synchronize the supply of pressurized gas with the patients respiratory cycle. The supply of respiratory gas may be provided during only a portion of the respiratory cycle.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2021Publication date: November 25, 2021Applicant: ResMed Pty Ltd.Inventors: Liam HOLLEY, Glenn RICHARDS, Peter WLODARCZYK, Ning WANG

Patent number: 11083918Abstract: An extinguishing system for a high-voltage battery of a motor vehicle, including at least one extinguishing agent container with a gaseous extinguishing agent; a seal for sealing the extinguishing agent container, which prevents an outflow of the extinguishing agent into the interior of the high-voltage battery; a control device interacting with the seal device, designed to open the seal upon the incidence of a triggering signal, thus allowing the extinguishing agent to flow into the interior of the high-voltage battery and to displace any air included therein; an auto-ignition mechanism that interacts with the seal, which auto-ignites at a certain auto-ignition temperature and opens the seal.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2019Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignee: AUDI AGInventor: Peter Wlodarczyk

Publication number: 20180169361Abstract: A method, such as in a controller associated with a respiratory therapy device, determines whether high flow therapy is being used by a patient. The method may include determining whether a property of a flow of air being delivered by a respiratory therapy device along an air circuit to an unsealed patient interface contains a significant oscillation within a breathing rate frequency band. The method may also include generating, dependent on the determination, an indication of whether high flow therapy is being used by the patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2016Publication date: June 21, 2018Applicant: RedMed LimitedInventors: Clancy John DENNIS, Liam HOLLEY, Gordon Joseph MALOUF, Dion Charles Chewe MARTIN, Peter WLODARCZYK
