Publication number: 20250143921Abstract: An exemplary system and method is disclosed to configure a controller of a fluid circulation therapy device based on its connected power supply. The controller is configured to function in multiple modes with varying input power available. The power supply includes circuitries to direct the controller to select one of those modes, which can adapt the fluid circulation therapy device for one of many different environments, thermal power, and noise operations. The configuration of the fluid circulation therapy device, without additional human interaction, facilitates the efficient manufacturability of different classes of the fluid circulation therapy devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2022Publication date: May 8, 2025Inventors: Bryan D. HUFF, Himanshu PATEL

Publication number: 20250143920Abstract: A rapid contrast therapy system can provide cold, heat/hot/warm (hereafter referred to as “hot”), and/or rapid contrast therapy, which involves rapidly alternating between cold therapy and hot therapy. The system can circulate cold or hot fluid, such as water, through a hose, into a therapy wrap, and then back to the fluid reservoirs of the system. The system can utilize a vapor compression system or other chiller technology to cool the cold water reservoir, and immersion heaters can be used to heat the hot water reservoir.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2025Publication date: May 8, 2025Inventors: Mark H. LOWE, Bryan D. HUFF, John MOORE

Patent number: 8789216Abstract: A vessel for containing liquid includes a floor perimetrically surrounded by a plurality of upwardly projecting walls; at least one exit port incorporated into at least one of the walls proximate to an upper edge of the at least one wall; and a liquid circulation pump apparatus. The liquid circulation pump apparatus includes a first conduit in fluid communication with the vessel; a circulation pump positioned downstream from and in fluid communication with the first conduit; a supply conduit positioned downstream from and in fluid communication with the circulation pump; and a diverter valve positioned downstream of the circulation pump and upstream of the supply conduit. The circulation pump is adapted to pump liquid from the vessel through the first conduit and deliver liquid through the supply conduit to the exit port. The diverter valve is adapted to change a rate of flow of liquid supplied to the exit port.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2013Date of Patent: July 29, 2014Assignee: Sundance Spas, Inc.Inventors: Edwin C.
