Patent number: 11801352Abstract: Inhaled medications present a great opportunity for controlled drug delivery for self medicated patients. With this invention most medicinal aerosol generators have the potential for much more controlled dosage and monitoring of doses to the patient than current inhaled medication systems. The pressurized metered dose inhaler has especially great potential for controlled drug delivery being that the aerosol drug formulation is in a permanently sealed container that can use a digital program controlled electromechanical valve on a metered dose inhaler to control drug dose and time of release. An electromechanical inhaler valve actuator can also provide dose control, monitoring, breath activation timing and other important features.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2018Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Inventor: Brian Hansen

Publication number: 20220346856Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments of methods, components and systems configured to determine a location of a source of cardiac arrhythmia in a patient's heart. In some embodiments, to determine a source location, electrogram signals are acquired from a region of the patients' heart using a first set of electrodes; and then a pre-trained artificial intelligence (AI) model is applied to predict the location of the cardiac arrhythmia source by using the signals. Importantly, pre-training of the AI model comprises acquiring electrogram signals from explanted human hearts, the signals are generated by a second set of electrodes assembled into an electrode array that covers at least a part of the explanted human heart, and acquiring co-registered functional and/or structural imaging data in the part of the explanted human heart covered with the electrode array, wherein the functional and/or structural imaging data provide location of at least one source of cardiac arrhythmia.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 6, 2020Publication date: November 3, 2022Inventors: Vadim Valerievich FEDOROV, Brian HANSEN, Alexander Markovich ZOLOTAREV, Dmitry Vladimirovich DYLOV, Ekaterina Alekseevna IVANOVA, Maxim Valerievich FEDOROV

Patent number: 10654563Abstract: A method for operating a landing gear. The method includes extending an actuator to apply a force to a crank link of a toggle lock mechanism causing a mechanical unlocking of a second lock link from a fully extended position, retracting the actuator to rotate the toggle lock mechanism about a toggle lock pivot axis of a first lock link, causing rotation of the second lock link that is rotatably coupled to the first lock link so that the second lock link folds relative to the first lock link in a second rotation direction, and a toggle link of the toggle lock mechanism rotates relative to the second lock link, in the first rotation direction opposite the second rotation direction, to rotate the second lock link to a fully retracted position of the second lock link relative to the first lock link.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2019Date of Patent: May 19, 2020Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Mitchell Mellor, Brian Hansen

Patent number: 10186816Abstract: A bracket and associated components provides a means to securely install one or more connectors within a dropped ceiling. The bracket can be mounted to a drop wire or threaded rod within a ceiling space, thereby suspending the bracket and associated connectors within the ceiling space. One or more connectors coupled to a cable can be directly installed on the bracket via port windows cut into the bracket. Alternatively, a surface mount box containing connectors can be mounted on the bracket to yield a protected, strain-resistant connector installation within the ceiling space. The bracket and associated components can be made of plenum-rated materials, making the mounting solution suitable for installations within plenum spaces.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2017Date of Patent: January 22, 2019Assignee: Leviton Manufacturing Co., Inc.Inventors: John L.
