Patent number: 11749411Abstract: A system for modeling the evolution of a system over time using an advection-based process is provided. The system continuously evolves a probability density function (“PDF”) for a characteristic of a characteristic of the state of the system and its time-varying parameters. The PDF is evolved based on advection by solving an advection partial differential equation that is based on a system model of the system. The system model has time-varying parameters for modeling the characteristic of the state of the system. The system uses the continuously evolving PDF to make predictions about the characteristic of the state of the system.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2019Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: Intermountain Intellectual Asset Management, LLCInventors: David John Balaban, Mark Joseph Durst, Todd W. Kelley, John Scott Skellenger, Mikhail Toupikov, Nicolas Sean Frisby, Dominic Joseph Steinitz

Patent number: 11179531Abstract: Systems for use in assisted respiration can permit insertion of one or more elongated medical instruments into the proximal and/or distal airway of a patient during administration of assisted respiration, which may, in some instances, proceed with a patient awake or only minimally sedated. In some systems, a bite block is coupled with a mask and is movable relative to the mask such that the system is capable of accommodating differing patient anatomies.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2018Date of Patent: November 23, 2021Assignee: Intermountain Intellectual Asset Management, LLCInventors: Samuel Brown, Troy Jesse Orr

Patent number: 11090447Abstract: A tamper-resistant device for holding a portion of an access port of a fluid line can include a first housing member that includes a first recess and a first stopping shelf. The device can further include a second housing member that includes a second recess and a second stopping shelf. The second housing member can couple with the first housing member such that the first and second stopping shelves cooperate to retain the portion of the access port within the device. The device can include a locking mechanism configured maintain the first and second housing members in a coupled state when engaged. The device can further include a tamper-evident indicator that, when activated, permits the first and second housing members to transition from the coupled state to a decoupled state to permit access to the access port of the fluid line.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2019Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: Intermountain Intellectual Asset Management, LLCInventors: Bert Kamolsit Lopansri, Troy J. Orr

Patent number: 10867698Abstract: A method for generating a report by a computing device is described. The method includes identifying a specific health care intervention. The method also includes creating a health care cohort for the specific health care intervention. The health care cohort includes a definition of a primary intervention. The method further includes generating a report based on the health care cohort.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2016Date of Patent: December 15, 2020Assignee: Intermountain Intellectual Asset Management, LLCInventors: Ann Zofia Putnam, Matthew Scott Peters, Craig Gale, Dallin Rogers, Mark John Ott

Patent number: 10821027Abstract: A sound-filtering device can include an entry port that receives sound from an environment when the device is coupled to an ear of a user. The device can further include an exit port that delivers sound that has passed through the device to the ear of the user. The device can further include a channel extending between the entry port and the exit port to define a path along which sound travels from the entry port to the exit port. The device can also include a side port in fluid communication with the channel and a resonant chamber offset from the path defined by the channel and in fluid communication with the channel via the side port. The resonant chamber can attenuate at least a portion of any sound passing through the channel that is within a band of frequencies narrower than a full audible spectrum of the user.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2018Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: Intermountain Intellectual Asset Management, LLCInventor: Andrew L. Cobabe

Patent number: 10304221Abstract: This patent application relates to Data visualization techniques for representing population data for a relatively large number of subjects associated with multiple populations. A graphical representation can be created to represent population data elements and corresponding population data values for the populations over time. The graphical representation can be utilized to analyze the populations.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2015Date of Patent: May 28, 2019Assignee: Intermountain Intellectual Asset Management, LLCInventor: John R. Holmen

Patent number: 10182725Abstract: Heat sensors can be positioned within an anatomical vessel of a patient so as to monitor temperature changes, such as during ablation procedures in the heart. Some heat sensors can include a wire that defines an extended heat sensing region capable of detecting a change in the local temperature. Some heat sensors can be conformable to an inner surface of a wall of an anatomical vessel to maintain contact therewith or to be in close proximity thereto.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2013Date of Patent: January 22, 2019Assignee: Intermountain Intellectual Asset Management, LLCInventors: T. Jared Bunch, Troy J. Orr
