  • Publication number: 20200155876
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a pressure support therapy device valve that enables a subject to safely supplement therapy pressure support with low flow oxygen while using a heated (or non-heated) tube. The valve conducts a pressurized flow of breathable gas and the low flow oxygen to the heated tube. The valve includes electrical components configured to pass power from the pressure support therapy device to the heated tube, and a plunger biased to close a flow path from the pressure support therapy device when a pressurized flow of breathable gas is not provided (or is below a predetermined pressure threshold). Closing the flow path stops oxygen gas from flowing back through the valve toward the pressurized gas source.

  • Patent number: 10648947
    Abstract: A micro-magnetic detecting method includes the steps of: detecting a magnetic induction intensity along a first direction on a surface of a detected object to generate a detection signal, determining whether an amplitude of the detection signal is an anomalous value at a first position of the surface of the detected object, wherein the anomalous value is a value which is inconsistent with a linear value of the detection signal at the first position, and the linear value is a value that satisfies a linear relationship of the detection signal, and determining there is a defect at the first position of the detected object in case that the amplitude of the detection signal is the anomalous value. Accordingly, it detects the magnetic induction intensity on the surface of the detected object so as to detect its surface and internal defects when it remains in its original status.

  • Patent number: 10644591
    Abstract: Techniques for operating a power supply under light load conditions are provided. In an example, a frequency of an oscillator can be adjusted based on a feedback signal indicative of a voltage error of the power supply when the feedback signal falls below a first threshold. In certain examples, a peak inductor current command can be kept constant and a slope compensation ramp can be based on the frequency of the oscillator when the feedback signal falls below the first threshold. In some examples, various circuits of the power supply can be disabled when the feedback signal further falls below a second threshold. The feedback signal can be indicative of a load on the power supply.
