  • Publication number: 20240108844
    Abstract: A humidification system can include a heater base, a humidification chamber, and a breathing circuit. A cartridge can be removably coupled to the heater base. The cartridge can include various sensors, probes, sensor wire connectors, heater wire connectors, and/or other features. The cartridge can include features configured to mate with corresponding features on the humidification chamber and the heater base. The cartridge includes a memory, such as an EEPROM, or other suitable storage device. When the cartridge is installed on the heater base, the memory is electrically connected to a processor and/or memory of the heater base. Various models of cartridges can be produced for use with different humidification chambers, breathing circuits, and/or therapies. A connector can be configured to couple an inspiratory conduit to an outlet port of the humidification chamber. The connector can provide a pneumatic connection to the outlet port and an electrical connection to the cartridge.

  • Publication number: 20130271292
    Abstract: This invention is a new approach to dealing with the age old problems of maneuvering a motor vehicle through the myriad of obstacles found on most roadways, by proactively appraising the vehicle operator of ACTIONS (immediate and soon to be immediate) they need to take, and by monitoring vehicle speed vs. the current posted speed, and alerting the operator accordingly.

  • Patent number: 8368697
    Abstract: A system and method for providing an overview of a plurality of tasks running on a target environment which includes the steps of receiving event data representing a plurality of events in the plurality of contexts over a monitoring period displaying a detailed graphical representation of the event data log using the event data, and displaying a schematic representation of the detailed graphical representation over the monitoring period using only a portion of the event data. The schematic representation is indicative of an activity density of the event data over the monitoring period.

  • Publication number: 20070083792
    Abstract: Described is a system which includes an error handler to generate an error record in response to a software error in an embedded device and a non-volatile memory including a persistent memory region configured to store an error log, the error log configured to receive the error record, wherein the error log remains intact in the non-volatile memory after a reboot of the embedded device.

  • Publication number: 20050235277
    Abstract: A system and method for automatically generating a gopher program is provided. The system invokes a debugger and loads a type library into the debugger. The type library containing information regarding each data type used in a program. The system reads each line of a command file, wherein the command file is comprised of literal text and one or more predefined instructions. For each predefined instruction read, the system calls a corresponding function in the debugger and the debugger returns a numerical offset value based upon information in the type library. The system copies the each line of the command file to an output file, with each predefined instruction replaced with its corresponding offset value.
