  • Patent number: 11930045
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for enabling any sandboxed user-defined function code to securely access the Internet via a cloud data platform. A remote procedure call is received by a cloud data platform from a user-defined function (UDF) executing within a sandbox process. The UDF includes code related to at least one operation to be performed. The cloud data platform provides an overlay network to establish a secure egress path for UDF external access. The cloud data platform enables the UDF executing in the sandbox process to initiate a network call.

  • Patent number: 11666486
    Abstract: In some examples, a system includes: a plurality of different articles of personal protection equipment (PPE) that are all controlled by a particular user, and a computing device. The computing device may include one or more computer processors configured to receive sets of data from each of the different articles of PPE, wherein each set of data is based at least in part on a type of each of the different articles of PPE; generate for display a user interface that contemporaneously includes a plurality of graphical elements that are based at least in part on at least two sets of data that correspond to at least two different articles of PPE of the plurality of different articles of PPE; and in response to receiving an indication of user input that corresponds to at least one of the plurality of graphical elements, perform at least one operation.

  • Patent number: 7328700
    Abstract: A respiratory protection circuit of the type having an air flow regulator disposed in an air flow path between an air supply and a respirator is improved by including an air flow splitter and a bi-directional valve. The air flow splitter is disposed in the air flow path upstream from the air flow regulator, the splitter dividing the air flow path into first and second downstream flow paths, with the first downstream flow path leading to the respirator. The bi-directional valve is disposed in the second downstream flow path wherein the bi-directional valve prevents excessive downstream air flow therethrough and prevents upstream air flow therethrough.

  • Patent number: 7197774
    Abstract: A supplied air helmet 10 comprises a visor 14 and a face seal 12 that is secured to the visor. The face seal 12 includes a sealing member 18 and a frame member 16. The sealing member 18 extends radially inward from the frame member 16 and has first and second regions of permeability 20 and 22. The second region 22 has greater permeability than the first region 20. The use of a face seal 12 that has differentiated permeability allows for a controlled flow of air through the interior of the supplied air helmet 10.

  • Patent number: 6575165
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a fan-forced positive pressure breathing apparatus commonly known as a Powered Air Purifying Respirators (PAPR) system, and specifically concerns the connecting of the breathing components of such equipment. The invention is a method and apparatus for rapid engagement of PAPR breathing components (such as air supply lines and filter elements to a blower housing). The invention also provides for indicating and/or monitoring whether the relative components have been aligned and coupled in sealed engagement.
