Publication number: 20160317725Abstract: A method and system of controlling medical suction is disclosed. The system comprises a vacuum regulator comprising a valve, wherein the first end of the regulator may be fluidly connected to a vacuum source and the second end of the regulator may be fluidly connected to a patient interface. The valve may comprise a small orifice or pathway, allowing fluid to pass from the second end of the regulator to the first end of the regulator while the valve is closed. The system may also comprise a flow detector, wherein the flow detector is capable of sensing when the patient interface is in contact with a liquid and cause the valve to open, thereby allowing full flow of fluids from the second regulator end to the first regulator end.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2016Publication date: November 3, 2016Inventors: James Michael Berry, Steve Morris

Publication number: 20150232172Abstract: Airfoil assemblies and methods of using them are provided to accelerate air flow relative to the airfoil assemblies and to improve laminar air flow over airfoils. The airfoil may include a cathode disposed near a leading portion of the airfoil to ionize on rushing air and for initiating an electric field. An anode disposed near an opposite portion of the airfoil completes the electric field to accelerate ionized air flowing relative to the airfoil, whereby ionized positively charged air particles tend to separate and accelerate continuously toward the anode in a substantially smooth laminar path of travel uninterruptedly. An air ionizing antenna may be employed for radiating an electromagnetic field transversely to the electric field to cause the electromagnetic field to ionize additional air flowing relative to the airfoil.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 20, 2014Publication date: August 20, 2015Inventor: Donald Steve Morris

Publication number: 20150196353Abstract: An electrosurgical resection instrument for applying to biological tissue radiofrequency electromagnetic energy has a protective hull comprising a shaped piece of dielectric material mounted to cover an underside of an instrument tip of the instrument. The protective hull acts as a shield to protect tissue that may lie under the instrument tip from damage during treatment. The instrument may be particularly useful in procedures performed in a gastrointestinal tract, where bowel perforation is a concern, or in the pancreas, where damage to the portal vein or the pancreatic duct may occur when a tumour or other abnormality is being resected, dissected or removed.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2013Publication date: July 16, 2015Inventors: Christopher Paul Hancock, Steve Morris, Duncan Fitzsimmons, Brian Saunders, Andrew Pacey, Malcolm White

Patent number: 8333469Abstract: A method and system for allowing multiple geographically distributed optical labs to share global resources over a telecommunications network. Each optical lab is set up as a client account on the server with privileges to access the global recourses. Each lab has its own equipment set, the settings and configuration of which, are recorded in one of the client account databases. Other proprietary databases contain price lists, financial information and patient data. The lens calculation software encounters a sequential stream of job requests from different client accounts. The corresponding proprietary account data, allows uniform pricing rules to be applied to lens processing jobs. As jobs are completed, each lab receives an individual packet of printable job ticket data, printable invoice data, electronic interface files for the lens generating equipment, and an extract file for importing into the labs accounting software.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2008Date of Patent: December 18, 2012Assignee: Essilor International (Compagnie Generale d'Optique)Inventors: Mike Filipovich, Konstantinos Voyiatzis, Steve Morris, John Forner, Paul Nordin
