Patent number: 9504385Abstract: A probe for intermittent contacting a patient body with a predetermined speed and force. Initially, the probe is recessed inside the device which is brought in contact with the patient body, while keeping the probe from making a contact with the patient. On a command from an operator or control circuit, the probe is deployed moving toward the patient body surface with a substantially consistent force and rate of motion, thus making a contact in a consistent fashion.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2009Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignee: KAZ, Inc.Inventor: Jacob Fraden

Patent number: 7014686Abstract: An air cleaner electrode assembly includes an elongated collector electrode and a plurality of elongated discharge electrodes arranged around the collector electrode. A fan may move air in a direction parallel to a length of the electrodes. The collector electrode may have a plurality of distinct faces where at least one discharge electrode is associated with a corresponding face. A cleaning shuttle may be configured to ride on and remove debris from the elongated electrodes. A voltage differential across the electrodes and the fan speed may be adjusted independently of each other.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2004Date of Patent: March 21, 2006Assignee: Kaz, Inc.Inventors: Stephen M. Gatchell, Chi-Hsiang Wang

Patent number: 6874771Abstract: A humidifier includes a base defining a reservoir for retaining liquid, a humidification device for inducing dispersion of liquid withdrawn from the reservoir into the environment and a liquid storage tank having an outlet for feeding liquid into the reservoir. The humidification device includes a heated disc for evaporating a stream of liquid delivered from the reservoir to the heated disc by a delivery mechanism. The delivery mechanism may deliver the stream of liquid as a mist, a thin film or a controlled stream of liquid onto the disc.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2002Date of Patent: April 5, 2005Assignee: Kaz, Inc.Inventors: Walter G. Birdsell, David Feer, William J. Montague, Jr.
