  • Patent number: 9752699
    Abstract: An electronic oxygen conserving device for controlling a flow of oxygen from an oxygen storage container to a user. When a conserve setting is selected, a flow of oxygen travels through an oxygen regulating valve that has an open state and a closed state. A temporary electrical charge or current is provided to the oxygen regulating valve during the initial inhalation of oxygen by an individual, opening the regulating valve opens to delivery oxygen to the user. The oxygen regulating valve remains open even after termination of the electric current. After a predetermined timed delivery dose or upon exhalation by the individual, a subsequent temporary electric charge or current is provided to oxygen regulating valve, closing the regulating valve closes to prevent delivery of oxygen to the user, thus conserving oxygen. The oxygen regulating valve remains closed even after termination of the subsequent electric current.

  • Publication number: 20100307635
    Abstract: The present invention describes methods and systems of oxygen transfill that includes the step of delivering a quantity of liquid oxygen to an evaporation chamber in a liquid oxygen evaporation device. Next, at least a portion of the liquid oxygen in the evaporation chamber is evaporated and a quantity of gaseous oxygen is maintained at a predetermined pressure level in the evaporation chamber. The method includes filling a portable compressed oxygen device with at least a portion of the gaseous oxygen.
