  • Patent number: 11833302
    Abstract: An anesthesia vaporizer system includes a vaporizer reservoir forming a sump chamber that contains liquid anesthetic agent and a fill chamber isolated from the sump chamber configured to receive liquid anesthetic agent from a refill container. A piston is in the sump chamber configured to maintain a constant force on the liquid anesthetic agent in the sump chamber, and a transfer valve is configured to permit the liquid anesthetic agent to flow from the fill chamber to the sump chamber. The vaporizer reservoir has an outlet port that delivers the liquid anesthetic agent from the sump chamber to a vaporizing system that vaporizes the liquid anesthetic agent for delivery to a patient.

  • Patent number: 11572975
    Abstract: A device for supporting an electronic display includes a base, a display mount having a first position and a second position relative to the base, and a connection mechanism positioned between the base and the display mount. The connection mechanism is configured to rotate and translate the display mount from the first position to the second position according to a torque curve. The torque curve includes a discovery stage adjacent the first position, an initiation stage rotationally after the discovery stage, and an approach stage rotationally after the initiation stage. The connection mechanism applies a force toward the first position in the discovery stage. The connection mechanism having an initiation force applied toward the first position that is greater than the force in the discovery stage. The approach stage having an approach force applied toward the second position.

  • Publication number: 20220256718
    Abstract: Examples are disclosed that relate to display devices and mounting brackets for securing a bezel to a display device. In one example, a display device comprises a display unit and a bezel comprising at least one pocket. The display device comprises a mounting bracket comprising a display unit attachment portion affixed to the display unit and at least one tongue that extends at least partially into the at least one pocket. Adhesive binds the at least one tongue to at least one surface of the at least one pocket, thereby coupling the bezel to the display unit via the mounting bracket.

  • Publication number: 20220173548
    Abstract: A connector assembly including a first intermediate connector member associated with a first device and having a first connector interface and a second intermediate connector having a second connector interface. The first intermediate connector and the second intermediate connector are movable between an interfaced state in which the first connector interface is in contact with the second connector, and a tethered state in which the first connector interface is spaced apart from the second connector interface. The connector assembly further includes a tether member connecting the first intermediate connector and the second intermediate connector in the tethered state. The tether may include a flexible body configured to control a path along at least an axis of either the first intermediate connector or the second intermediate connector during movement from the interfaced state to the tethered state.

  • Patent number: 11077268
    Abstract: An anesthesia vaporizer system includes a vaporizer reservoir forming a sump chamber containing a liquid anesthetic agent, a piston that forms a first chamber on a first side of the piston. The vaporizer reservoir has a fill port configured to receive a refill container containing liquid anesthetic agent and to permit flow into the first chamber. A motor moves the piston between a first position and a second position, wherein the volume of the first chamber increases as the piston moves from the first position towards the second position. The liquid anesthetic agent is thereby drawn from the refill container into the first chamber. A transfer valve is configured to permit the liquid anesthetic agent to flow from the first chamber into the sump chamber. An outlet port delivers the liquid anesthetic agent from the sump chamber into a vaporizing system that vaporizes it for delivery to a patient.
