  • Patent number: 11589672
    Abstract: A flip top table includes a leg assembly supporting an axle defining a rotation axis extending in a longitudinal direction. A strike plate is non-rotatably secured to the axle, with the strike plate having first and second circumferentially spaced and radially extending stop surfaces. A worksurface is rotatably supported on the axle and includes first and second circumferentially spaced stop surfaces. The worksurface is rotatable about the rotation axis between a use position and a stowed position. A latch assembly is coupled to and rotatable with the worksurface between the use and stowed positions. The latch assembly includes a lock bolt moveable in the longitudinal direction between a disengaged position, wherein the lock bolt is longitudinally displaced from the strike plate, and an engaged position, wherein the lock bolt engages the second stop surface of the strike plate when the worksurface is in the use position. An actuation mechanism is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20220280739
    Abstract: There is provided a method of manufacturing a sealing member for a respiratory interface device. The method comprises the steps of: (a) providing a mould having a cavity, a polymer injection port and a gas inlet port; (b) injecting a polymer through the polymer injection port into the cavity of the mould; and (c) introducing gas through the gas inlet port into the cavity of the mould, to form a sealing member of the respiratory interface device, thereby forming a sealing member of the respiratory interface device. The sealing member of the respiratory interface device comprises an internal chamber at least partially bounded by a resiliently deformable enclosing wall formed of the polymer, the enclosing wall including a patient-contacting surface, the patient-contacting surface having a form that is determined by the cavity of the mould and provides an anatomical fit with a patient.

  • Patent number: 11429915
    Abstract: Systems and methods for predicting feature values in a matrix are disclosed. In example embodiments, a server accesses a matrix, the matrix having multiple dimensions, one dimension of the matrix representing features, and one dimension of the matrix representing entities. The server separates the matrix into multiple submatrices along a first dimension, each submatrix including all cells in the matrix for a set of values in the first dimension. The server provides the multiple submatrices to multiple machines. The server computes, using each machine, a correlation between values in at least one second dimension of the matrix and a value for a preselected feature in the matrix, the correlation being used to predict the value for the preselected feature based on other values along the at least one second dimension. The server provides an output representing the computed correlation.
