Publication number: 20250083351Abstract: Access port cutters and related systems and methods can be used to cut an access port to a desired length based on particular patient and/or surgical procedure needs at a point of use. More particularly, an access port cutter can include a base with an opening that can receive an access port therein such that a desired length of the access port can extend from the opening. An actuation mechanism can translate a blade linearly along at least a portion of the base such that the blade can traverse the opening and cut across the access port. In some embodiments, the actuation mechanism can include a handle that can pivot relative to the base to drive the blade. One or more safety features can reduce the risk of inadvertent actuation of the blade and/or prevent debris from contaminating a surgical site or falling onto a patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 27, 2024Publication date: March 13, 2025Inventors: Roman Lomeli, Jae Stelzer, Nicholas Pavento, Alicia McDermott, Paul Maguire, Christopher Ramsay

Patent number: 11471068Abstract: A system for determining an airway flow value in a patient is provided. The system comprises a computer system that comprises one or more physical processors programmed with computer program instructions which, when executed cause the computer system to obtain, from one or more health monitoring devices, airway pressure information of the patient and airway flow information of the patient; determine an airway flow limitation index from the airway pressure information of the patient and the airway flow information of the patient; and determine the airway flow limitation value for the patient by comparing the determined airway flow limitation index with an airway flow limitation threshold value. The airway flow limitation value indicates a number of breaths of the patient that are flow limited in a given time period.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2017Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Robert Romano, Mark Christopher McDermott, Peter Douglas Hill, Richard Anthony Bates

Patent number: 11147938Abstract: A ventilator that is small, lightweight, and portable, yet capable of being quickly adapted to operate in a plurality of different modes and configurations to deliver a variety of therapies to a patent. A porting system having a plurality of sensors structured to monitor a number of parameters with respect to the flow of gas, and a number of porting blocks is used to reconfigure the ventilator so that it operates as a single-limb or dual limb ventilator. In the single-limb configuration, an active or passive exhaust assembly can be provided proximate to the patient. The ventilator is capable of operate in a volume or pressure support mode, even in a single-limb configuration. In addition, a power control mechanism controls the supply of power to the ventilator from an AC power source, a lead acid battery, an internal rechargeable battery pack, and a detachable battery pack.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2019Date of Patent: October 19, 2021Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Winslow Kevin Duff, William Anthony Truschel, Mark Christopher McDermott, Cheryl Lin Needham, Christopher Wayne McDaniel, Ljubisa Milojevic, Ronald Cyprowski

Patent number: 10521654Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for of recognizing handwritten characters in digital images using context-based machine learning. A server captures an image of a document that comprises one or more handwritten data fields, the document associated with a user identifier. The server identifies a field type for each handwritten data field in the image. The server creates a pixel intensity array for each character in each handwritten data field and determines whether a user-specific character map exists for the user identifier. If a map exists, the server retrieves the map and generates digital form data by executing a user-specific handwriting classifier using the map, the pixel intensity arrays, and the field types. If a map does not exist, the server builds a map based upon the pixel intensity arrays and generates digital form data by executing a baseline handwriting classifier using the map, the pixel intensity arrays, and the field types.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2018Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: FMR LLCInventors: Sunil Madhani, Fabrizio Machado, Christopher A.
