Publication number: 20230148400Abstract: A respiratory therapy device generates a flow of breathable gas for therapy. The apparatus may include a flow generator in a housing to generate the breathable gas flow. The flow generator may have an operating voltage for such operations. The device may include a battery pack that is engageable with the housing. The battery pack may be configured to power the flow generator and may include a stand-by circuit configured to switch between stand-by and operating modes. The stand-by circuit may be configured to provide a stand-by operations voltage while in the stand-by mode that is less than an operating voltage of the flow generator and may be configured to detect current demand of the flow generator with the stand-by operations voltage while in stand-by mode such as for enabling an increase voltage from the battery pack to produce the operating voltage in the operating mode for the flow generator.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 5, 2023Publication date: May 11, 2023Applicant: Resmed Pty LtdInventors: Adam PANARELLO, David Paul BOEHM, Adrian Ashley VOS, Siyin WONG

Patent number: 11260186Abstract: A control system for a heated conduit in a respiratory apparatus includes a power supply configured to provide power to the heated conduit and a heating control circuit configured to control an amount of heat generated in the heated conduit. The control system further includes a sensing circuit configured to indicate the temperature of a sensor positioned in the heated conduit by comparing a reference voltage with a sum of a voltage drop through the sensor and a voltage provided to the sensor by the power supply when the heating control circuit is on. When the heating control circuit is off, the voltage drop through the sensor is solely due to current provided by a current source.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2019Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: ResMed Pty LtdInventors: Adrian Ashley Vos, Ronald James Huby, Zhuo Ran Tang
