Publication number: 20180246988Abstract: The present invention addresses deficiencies of the art with respect to collaborative computer networks consisting of mixed data, control functions, analysis functions, and sensors in complex systems of systems. The method involves a database framework for representing complex heterogeneous characteristics of processes, systems, and systems of systems that feature many to many interrelationships. The homoiconic graph framework takes the form of an executable graph database, which is often faster for associative data sets, and maps more directly to object-oriented computer applications for large-scale operations. The invention provides a method to execute the graph database, in that the graph comprises nodes that are both data fragments and executable components. The graph is characterized as one or more homoiconic or executable graph frameworks, to distinguish this unique feature from the concept of a graph database, which generally is a repository of connected data only.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 16, 2018Publication date: August 30, 2018Inventors: Caryl Erin Johnson, Kay E. Aikin, Alexander Johnson, Trevor Gionet, JR.

Patent number: 10019029Abstract: A housing for an electronic device includes a single rear housing assembly coupled to the cover glass of a display assembly. The rear housing assembly includes a metal rear chassis with two layers of injection molded material formed on at least the chassis side regions. The first injection molded layer includes a high reinforcing agent content percentage to provide increased stiffness, and the second injection molded layer includes a low reinforcing agent content percentage, which provides less structural support than the first injection molded layer, but an improved aesthetic appearance.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2015Date of Patent: July 10, 2018Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Michael Xingyi Yu, Brandon Michael Potens, Kelly Erin Johnson, Mark Novak, Ge PengJin, Robert Cong Liang, Angel Wilfredo Martinez, Srivatsan Subbarayan, Mandar Nilkanth Kulkarni, Marc Anthony Zampino, Felipe Alonso Varela, Michael Christopher Kouxommone

Publication number: 20180078727Abstract: A patient interface includes a first body that rests on a first portion of a patient's face, a second body that rests on a second portion of the patient's face, and a bridge linking the first and second bodies. The patient interface includes an attachment structure that couples with a complementary fixation structure positioned on the patient's face to secure the patient interface to the patient's face. The complementary fixation structure can be configured to assist in retaining a feeding tube in position relative to the patient's face or to the patient interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2016Publication date: March 22, 2018Inventors: Chelsea Erin Johnson, Robert Andrew David Milne, Michael Paul Ronayne

Publication number: 20180043124Abstract: A patient interface can have a first body that rests on a first portion of a face of a patient, a second body that rests on a second portion of the face of the patient, and a bridge linking the first and second bodies. The patient interface can have an attachment structure that couples with a complementary fixation structure positioned on the face of the patient to secure the patient interface to the face. The fixation structure can include an adhesive to adhere the fixation structure, and thus the attached patient interface, to the face. The fixation structure can have an edge that is shaped to reduce the tendency for the fixation structure to be lifted off the face when the patient interface is detached from the face.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 16, 2016Publication date: February 15, 2018Inventors: Michael Paul Ronayne, Chelsea Erin Johnson, Robert Andrew David Milne

Publication number: 20170348500Abstract: A patient interface, such as a nasal cannula is described. The patient interface has a body portion to be located, in-use upon a face of a user. The body portion has at least one side arm that extends laterally from a central bridge portion to be located about a user's septum region, where each side arm is connected to a resilient, or relatively more rigid, bridge portion element. The interface has at least one, and preferably a pair of, nasal prong(s). The body portion has at least one fluid passageway connected to the nasal prong(s) for supply of a gas to the nare(s) of the user's nose. A cross section of the passageway varies along the length of the body portion to regions of varying flexibility along the body portion. The bridge portion element defines a substantially predetermined spatial relationship for outlet(s) of a gas delivery system supplying gas via each side arm to the outlet(s) from which, for example, the nasal prong(s) may be provided in fluid connection.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2015Publication date: December 7, 2017Applicant: Fisher & Paykel Healthcare LimitedInventors: Chelsea Erin Johnson, Robert Andrew David Milne, Riki Zane Shearer, Michael Paul Ronayne, Daniel Charles Wilson, Leon Tyler Stanley
