Patent number: 11957832Abstract: A breath actuated metered dose inhaler may comprise a canister fire system configured to fire a medicament containing canister in response to patient inhalation. The canister fire system may comprise a pneumatic force holding unit and having a rest configuration in which a metering valve of the canister is in a refill configuration; a prepared configuration in which a canister actuation force is retained by the pneumatic force holding unit and the canister fire system is actuatable by patient inhalation induced airflow; and a fire configuration in which the metering valve is in a dose delivery position. When in the prepared configuration, the force retained by the pneumatic force holding unit may be reduced by less than about 6% over a period of 5 minutes, preferably less than about 3% over a period of 5 minutes.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2020Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Norton (Waterford) LimitedInventors: Declan Walsh, Paul Prendergast, Daniel Buck, Trevor Kent, Niall Thompson

Publication number: 20240086849Abstract: The issue-discovery services described herein may access data from the messaging platform and/or the issue-tracking platform to automatically determine issue attributes for creating a new issue in the issue-tracking platform based on activity in the messaging platform. The issue-discovery service may provide or otherwise be associated with a user input element presented on a client device (e.g., presented in the chat user interface), which allows a user of the client device to provide a user input to create a new issue in the issue-tracking platform based on activity in the chat channel. The user input may identify content associated with the chat channel (e.g., one or more messages displayed in the chat user interface) for use in creating the new issue in the issue-tracking platform.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: David Michelson, Vitalii Saienko, Trevor Thompson, Fletcher Richman, Tristan Rubadeau

Publication number: 20230259939Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for context-based verification flows for digital identity verification. A context-based verification system provides flexible identification procedures for various enterprises that are adapted to the enterprises' services, the enterprises' customers, and these customers' needs. For example, the context-based verification system determines first and second verification flows associated with a first enterprise and a third verification flow associated with a second enterprise. These verification flows include context parameters and verification parameters. The context-based verification system determines context parameters of a request, or “request context parameters,” when a user requests to interact with the first enterprise and determines a verification flow associated with context parameters that substantially match these request context parameters.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2023Publication date: August 17, 2023Inventors: William J. Dawson, V, Thomas Abbott, Trevor Thompson, Jonathan R. Todd, Karl McGuinness

Patent number: 9959286Abstract: In a directory service, a sync request requesting changes to a dataset is received from a sync client, the sync request comprising a token, and sync requests containing tokens are sent to first and second directory servers. Changes are returned by the directory servers with tokens, and the changes are returned to the sync client with a unified token. In embodiments, the changes returned to the sync client are new to the sync client. Also disclosed is a method where a request for new changes to a dataset is received from a sync client, the request including a token, and a response that contains a token and changes that are new to the sync client is returned.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2016Date of Patent: May 1, 2018Assignee: UNBOUNDID, LLCInventors: David Ely, Andrew Coulbeck, Trevor Thompson, James Snyder
