Patent number: 8833372Abstract: An integrated nasal mask is adapted for delivering gas to a patient and comprises a mask body and a pair of elongate nostril-engaging stems. The mask body is generally triangularly shaped and includes a nasal opening sized and configured to substantially envelope a patient's nose. The nasal opening opens to a nasal cavity. The nostril-engaging stems extend outwardly from the nasal cavity. Each one of the stems defines a fluid passageway for delivering gas to the patient's nose and for allowing discharge of exhalation gasses during the exhalation phase of the breathing cycle.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2007Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: Carefusion 207, Inc.Inventors: Steve Han, Steve Duquette, Harold Miller

Publication number: 20140191543Abstract: This invention is a weighted, non-skid, heat reflective seat cover which protects seats exposed to the elements from heat and moisture. Seats can become extremely hot when exposed to the sun; they also require a towel or other means to dry them if they become wet from rain or dew. There are three layers of fabric. The top fabric layer deflects the sun's rays as well as dew and rain; thus keeping the seat cool and dry. The weighted middle fabric layer and fabric non-skid bottom layer keep the cover securely on the seat. The layers are permanently sewn together. The invention is designed to be placed on a seat without being attached in any way. The invention shields the seat from moisture and heat from the sun and is intended to be removed before the seat is used.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 8, 2013Publication date: July 10, 2014Inventor: Harold Miller
