  • Publication number: 20250129744
    Abstract: A cyclonic particle separator (126) may include a housing (130) including a cylindrical sidewall (132) having a plurality of flow entry ports (134). A cover member (136) closes a first end (138) of the cylindrical sidewall (132), and a mounting member (140) having a flow exit opening (160) defined therethrough is at a second end (142) of the cylindrical sidewall (132). At least one particle exit passage (176) is defined in the housing (130). Each of the plurality of flow entry ports (134) includes a flow directing surface angled to direct a gas flow from upstream of the housing (130) to enter the housing (130) in a tangential direction relative to the cylindrical sidewall (132), causing a cyclone vortex. The cyclone vortex acts to separate particles from the gas flow.

  • Patent number: 12226458
    Abstract: The invention relates to a novel administration regime useful in the treatment of diseases or conditions where administration of insulin will be of benefit. In particular, the invention relates to a long-acting or ultra-long acting insulin for use in treating a disease or condition where administration of insulin will be of benefit, wherein the administration of said insulin includes or consists of one or more of the following steps: (a) obtaining a first data set of the subject, (b) obtaining a second data set of the subject, (c) obtaining a first data structure of the subject, and (d) obtaining a second data structure of the subject. When a determination is made that the at least first data structure, second data structure, first data set, and second data set collectively do contain the set of evaluation information, the device further includes providing the long-acting or ultra-long-acting insulin dose guidance recommendation.
