  • Patent number: 11934376
    Abstract: A database management engine provides a user interface that allows users to access and modify employee information in a database. The database includes entries for employees, and each database entry includes identifying information about the associated employee. A user can request to modify data within database entries, for instance in order to update information associated with an employee. Responsive to the request, the database management engine identifies liabilities associated with the database modification stemming from associated tax laws. Based on the identified tax liabilities, the engine computes the aggregate tax liability owed by the employer and/or employee. Before modifying a database entry, the engine modifies the user interface to include interface elements detailing the computed aggregate tax liability. The user explicitly can be required to confirm the database modification in view of the aggregate tax liability.

  • Patent number: 11344752
    Abstract: A system for monitoring service life of a filter may include a respirator configured to be worn by an individual. The respirator may include a face mask and a filter housing that retains a filter within a filter chamber. A sensor assembly may be configured to monitor gas from the filter chamber. A respirator filter sampling port assembly is configured to adaptively connect the filter housing to the sensor assembly. The respirator filter sampling port assembly may include an adapter that removably secures to the filter housing, and fluidly couples the filter chamber of the filter housing to the sensor assembly.

  • Patent number: 10166417
    Abstract: A respirator comprising an outer mask in which is defined a main volume and an oronasal mask located within the outer mask and defining a secondary volume. Air for breathing enters the mask via a one-way valve and filter. Exhaled air exits the mask via an exhale conduit fitted with an exhale valve. A conduit is provided for the passage of air from the outer mask to the oronasal mask. The conduit is fitted with a one-way valve and a filter. The filter is such as to filter either particular or vapor challenges, or a mixture of these, as required.

  • Patent number: 9132299
    Abstract: A respirator includes an outer mask defining a first volume. An oronasal mask defines a second volume. The oronasal mask is positioned within the first volume. A primary filter is affixed to the outer mask and a secondary filter is positioned within the first volume such that the secondary filter filters air traveling from the first volume to the second volume. The secondary filter filters air traveling around a portion of the second volume. The filters are arranged to filter either particles or vapors, or a mixture of these, as required.
