Patent number: 11980565Abstract: Introduced here are pressure-mitigation apparatuses for mitigating the pressure applied to a human body by the support surface of an object. The pressure-mitigation apparatus can include a series of chambers that can be individually controlled to vary the pressure therein. By varying the chamber pressure, the main point of pressure applied by the support surface to the human body may be moved across the surface of the human body. An attachment apparatus may be used to securely adhere the pressure-mitigation apparatus to the support surface.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2019Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: TurnCare, Inc.Inventors: Rafael Paolo Squitieri, Robert Charles Deutsch, Steven Bruce Frazier, Robert Loiacono, Linda Seaman, Erica Kelly

Patent number: 11981099Abstract: Introduced here are methods, apparatuses, and systems for mitigating the contact pressure applied to a human body by the surface of an object, such as a chair, bed, or table. A pressure-mitigation apparatus can include a series of chambers whose pressure can be individually varied. When placed between a patient and a contact surface, a controller can vary the contact pressure on the human body by controllably inflating one or more chambers, deflating one or more chambers, or any combination thereof. By monitoring the pressure in each chamber over time, the controller can also gain an enhanced understanding of movement(s) performed by the human body when positioned on the pressure-mitigation apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2022Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: TurnCare, Inc.Inventors: Rafael Paolo Squitieri, Robert Charles Deutsch, Steven Bruce Frazier, Robert Loiacono, Linda Seaman, Erica Kelly

Publication number: 20240018037Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a process for the decarbonation of limestone, dolomite or other carbonated materials. The process may include heating particles of carbonated materials in a reactor of a first circuit to obtain decarbonated particles. Particles of carbonated materials are conveyed by a first entraining gas in the first circuit for preheating. The gas includes the carbon dioxide, the gas composition being substantially free of nitrogen. The carbonated particles are separated from a first entraining gas flow. The decarbonated particles are transferred to a cooling section of a second circuit having a second entraining gas in which the conveyed decarbonated particles release a portion of their thermal energy. The decarbonated particles are separated from a second entraining gas flow. The second entraining gas is substantially free of carbon dioxide.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2021Publication date: January 18, 2024Inventors: Charles ROBIN, Pierre-Olivier CAMBIER, Steven Bruce GUTHRIE, Juan Carlos ABANADES GARCIA
