Publication number: 20240124045Abstract: Devices, systems and methods for converting wheeled carriers into sliding carriers include at least one sliding member positioned under at least one wheel of a wheeled carrier such as a wagon. The sliding member includes an abutment against which the wheel rests such that when the wheeled carrier is in motion, namely pushed or pulled, the abutment is likewise pushed or pulled, thereby retaining the sliding member(s) under the wheel(s) and transporting the wheeled carrier without significant wheel rotation. In this manner a wheeled carrier can slide on loose terrain such as sand. The device can also be used to slide objects other than wheeled carriers.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 9, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventor: Christopher WALSH

Publication number: 20240108844Abstract: A humidification system can include a heater base, a humidification chamber, and a breathing circuit. A cartridge can be removably coupled to the heater base. The cartridge can include various sensors, probes, sensor wire connectors, heater wire connectors, and/or other features. The cartridge can include features configured to mate with corresponding features on the humidification chamber and the heater base. The cartridge includes a memory, such as an EEPROM, or other suitable storage device. When the cartridge is installed on the heater base, the memory is electrically connected to a processor and/or memory of the heater base. Various models of cartridges can be produced for use with different humidification chambers, breathing circuits, and/or therapies. A connector can be configured to couple an inspiratory conduit to an outlet port of the humidification chamber. The connector can provide a pneumatic connection to the outlet port and an electrical connection to the cartridge.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Hamish Adrian OSBORNE, Gavin Walsh Millar, Stephen David Evans, Bruce Gordon Holyoake, James William Stanton, David Leon McCauley, Gareth Thomas McDermott, Nicholas James Michael McKenna, Myfanwy Jane Antica Norton, Adrian John Elsworth, Michael John Andresen, Jonathan Andrew George Lambert, Sandeep Singh Gurm, Tessa Hazel Paris, Joseph Nathaniel Griffiths, Ping Si, Christopher Gareth Sims, Elmo Benson Stoks, Dexter Chi Lun Cheung, Peter Alan Seekup, Po-Yen Liu, Richard Edward Lang, Paul James Tonkin, Ian Lee Wai Kwan
