  • Publication number: 20250135148
    Abstract: A fluidic device for a mechanical ventilator has an inlet configured to receive fluid from a pressurized source. The device includes a device nozzle having a device nozzle axis, a device nozzle length, and a device nozzle width. The device includes at least one port having an opening to an environment external of the device. The device is configured so that ambient fluid enters the device through the port and mixes with a source fluid from the inlet to define a diluted fluid mixture. The device is further configured so that the diluted fluid mixture enters the device nozzle.

  • Publication number: 20250139284
    Abstract: A software development kit for providing targeted messages from a remote device to a client device through an app installed on the client device operates without any personal information leaving the client device. One or more Bloom filters are created and are mapped to specific app bundle identifiers. Matched identifiers are resolved against the set of Bloom filters to targeted messages based on user identifiers. Because the processing is performed locally on the client device, no personal information leaves the client device. Real-time measurement is performed by firing conversion events to an integrated mobile network, providing analysis of the effectiveness of the targeted messaging without providing any personal information to any remote device.

  • Publication number: 20250127631
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for aligning an acetabular cup. The apparatus may include an acetabular cup and/or a protractor and/or a depth gauge tool and may be provided in the form of a surgical kit. Components of the apparatus may allow an angle of rotation of an acetabular cup about an axis of the cup relative to an anatomical feature of a patient to be determined when the acetabular cup implant is placed in the acetabulum of the patient. Components of the apparatus may allow an amount of overhang between a rim of an acetabular cup and an edge of the acetabulum to be determined. The acetabular cup may be an acetabular trial cup or and acetabular cup implant. Embodiments of the invention may allow both the angle of rotation about the cup axis and the amount of overhang between the rim and the acetabulum edge to be determined.
