  • Publication number: 20230285701
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system and method for use of acoustic reflectometry information in ventilation devices. The system and method includes a speaker to emit sound waves into an intubated endotracheal tube (“ETT”) and a microphone to detect returning acoustic reflections. In addition, the system and method includes a reflectometry device in communication with a ventilation device for analyzing timings and amplitudes of the returning acoustic reflections to determine a size of a passageway around an ETT tip, location and size of ETT obstructions, and relative movement of the ETT tip within a trachea. The reflectometry device is also configured to determine a resistance parameter representative of resistance to actual flow of air through the ETT based upon a function of the diameter of the ETT, length of the ETT, and percent obstruction of the ETT, where the resistance parameter is used to calculate the tracheal pressure.

  • Publication number: 20220373306
    Abstract: A linear shaped charge includes a sheath having an open end and an opposite closed end. A peripheral wall extends longitudinally from an end wall a predetermined length. The peripheral wall has a first wall thickness and the end wall has a second wall thickness. The second wall thickness of the end wall is equal to or greater than the first wall thickness of the peripheral wall. The peripheral wall and the end wall cooperatively define a cavity. The linear shaped charge also includes an explosive material disposed within and substantially filling the cavity.

  • Patent number: 10424399
    Abstract: A device comprising a display, a user interface configured to receive gesture input, and a processor is provided. The device is configured to electronically detect, with the user interface, at least one gesture input from the user in an approximately circular motion that traces a substantially closed curve without corners about a point on the user interface. The device is configured to display, on a portion of the display, a polygonal shaped chemical structure symbol representing a polygonal ring of carbon atoms in response to the detecting, the polygonal ring having a set number of vertices representing a set number of carbon atoms. A non-transient computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that cause a device comprising a display, a user interface configured to receive gesture input, and a processor to perform a method is also provided.
