Publication number: 20240135362Abstract: The following relates generally to implementing a medical data non-fungible token (NFT). In some embodiments, one or more processors receive medical data of a plurality of users, and store the medical data of the plurality of users in a first storage location in a medical data database. The one or more processors may then detect a request to purchase a data feed for one or more types of medical data, and identify medical data corresponding to the request in the medical data database. The one or more processors may then store the identified medical data in a second storage location, and mint a medical data NFT that indicates the second storage location.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Joseph Robert Brannan, Brian N.

Publication number: 20240127258Abstract: The following relates generally to creating a backup of data and/or settings of a smart device. In some embodiments, one or more processors receive the data and/or settings of the smart device. The one or more processors may then mint a non-fungible token (NFT) that references a link to a data storage area. The data storage area may store: (i) an identification of the smart device, and/or (ii) the received data and/or settings of the smart device. The following also relates generally to providing a warranty of an item. In some embodiments, one or more processors detect an indication of a sale.

Publication number: 20240112266Abstract: The following relates generally to providing insurance for a non-fungible token (NFT). For example, an NFT may represent ownership of a digital asset, such as an image and/or video. However, NFTs are sometimes lost (e.g., due to hacking, data corruption, etc.), and it thus may be wise to purchase insurance for the NFT. As such, in some embodiments, one or more processors: receive a request to purchase insurance for an NFT; determine an insurance premium for the NFT; and send an insurance quote including the determined insurance premium.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 21, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Brian N. Harvey, Joseph Robert Brannan, Joseph P. Harr, Edward W. Breitweiser

Publication number: 20240100288Abstract: Hybrid ventilation apparatuses, systems and methods are provided. Some example mechanical ventilation apparatuses include a gas delivery system, at least one oxygen concentrator for generating oxygen enriched gas for delivery to a patient, at least one pressurized oxygen source for providing oxygen for delivery to the patient, and a controller. Based at least in part on an FIO2 setting for the gas to be delivered to the patient, the controller may determine an oxygen enriched gas flow rate of the oxygen enriched gas and a pressurized oxygen source flow rate of the oxygen from the at least one pressurized oxygen source, for the gas to be delivered to the patient. The controller may control the gas delivery system to deliver the gas to the patient in accordance with the FIO2 setting, the determined oxygen enriched gas flow rate, and the determined pressurized oxygen source flow rate.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Brian P. Harvey, George Beck, Dorian LeCroy, Denise R. Eizadkhah, Douglas R. Connelly, Richard L. Pettys, Richard D. Branson, Rizwan Ajaz

Publication number: 20240103982Abstract: The following relates generally to providing insurance for one or more virtual items in a virtual environment. In some embodiments, an insurance server receives a request for insurance for one or more virtual items from a customer. The insurance server then obtains information associated with the one or more virtual items from a virtual environment server, and determines an insurance premium based upon the received information. The following also relates generally to providing backups of virtual items. In some embodiments, a backup server creates backups of virtual items by writing data associated with the virtual item to a data store. The virtual items may be fungible or non-fungible. In some embodiments, the virtual items are periodically backed up.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 21, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Brian N. Harvey, Joseph Robert Brannan, Joseph P.

Publication number: 20220313929Abstract: Apparatus, systems and methods are described, such as for providing, or controlling mechanical ventilation provided to, a patient. A controller may control a gas delivery system to deliver gas to the patient according to a FiO2 setting and a PEEP setting. The controller may adjust the FiO2 setting to an updated FiO2 setting based at least in part on a determined oxygen concentration of the patient's blood and may update the PEEP setting based at least in part on the updated FiO2 setting. Furthermore, the controller may update the PEEP setting based at least in part on the updated FiO2 setting and the current PEEP setting. An updated PEEP setting may be based at least in part on PEEP change eligibility rules and PEEP selection rules. The FiO2 setting may be adjusted so as to relatively rapidly increase the FiO2 setting in response to a rapidly decreasing patient SpO2.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 29, 2022Publication date: October 6, 2022Inventors: George Beck, Brian P.

Publication number: 20220105288Abstract: Respiratory distress apparatuses, systems and methods are described. An example respiratory distress management device includes a housing, and further has a mechanical ventilation apparatus and a controller within the housing. The controller may include a processor and a memory. The controller may be configured to determine whether, at a particular time, a fault mode condition exists. If a fault mode condition is determined not to exist, then the controller may be configured to enable control of the mechanical ventilation apparatus of the respiratory distress management device by a source in delivering mechanical ventilation to a patient, via signals received by the controller from the source. If a fault mode condition is determined to exist, then the controller may be configured to control the mechanical ventilation apparatus of the respiratory distress management device in delivering mechanical ventilation to the patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2021Publication date: April 7, 2022Inventors: George Beck, Brian P Harvey, Denise R Eizadkhah, Dorian LeCroy, Gary A Freeman
