Patent number: 11918745Abstract: Medical tubes and methods of manufacturing medical tubes are disclosed, such as in positive airway pressure (PAP), respirator, anaesthesia, ventilator, and insufflation systems. The tube may be a composite structure made of two or more distinct components spirally wound to form an elongate tube. One of the components may be a spirally wound elongate hollow body, and the other component an elongate structural component spirally wound between turns of the spirally wound hollow body. Alternatively, the tube need not be made from distinct components. For instance, an elongate hollow body formed (e.g., extruded) from a single material may be spirally wound to form an elongate tube. The elongate hollow body itself may in transverse cross-section have a thin wall portion and a relatively thicker or more rigid reinforcement portion. The tubes can be incorporated into a variety of medical circuits or have other medical uses.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2018Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Fisher & Paykel Healthcare LimitedInventors: Gareth James Hobbs, Layton Robert Hern, Kiel Anthony McCool, Elmo Benson Stoks

Patent number: 11500864Abstract: Provided are techniques for generating highlight queries. Data is analyzed using one or more schemas to identify patterns and frequencies of the patterns in the data. The patterns and the frequencies of the patterns are stored in a global patterns structure. A graph is analyzed to identify one or more of the patterns in the global patterns structure that are present in the graph and in which frequencies. The identified one or more of the patterns in the global patterns structure that are present in the graph are added to a per-user patterns structure with the frequencies of those patterns. The patterns in the per-user patterns structure are scored. A subset of the patterns in the per-user patterns structure that have scores above a threshold are selected as highlight queries. The selected subset of the patterns are executed as highlight queries to generate results, and the results are returned.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2020Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: John Jesse Wood, Michael Kirwan, Gareth James Hugh Morgan, Pierre Pook, Kristian Memarzia, Zachary Charles Beckett Pywell
