  • Patent number: 8378832
    Abstract: The breathing disorder treatment system is a continuous monitoring and an actuated stimulation system for the treatment of breathing disorders, such as sleep apnea. The system includes computer readable memory in communication with a processor, and a threshold blood oxygen saturation (BOS) level is recorded therein. A BOS sensor is provided for continually measuring the blood oxygen saturation level in the patient. The BOS sensor is in communication with the processor, such that the measured BOS level is continually compared with the threshold BOS level. A timer is in communication with the processor, so that if a series of measured BOS levels are less than or equal to the threshold BOS level, a time of apnea or low BOS occurrence is recorded in the memory, and an alarm is actuated according to a calculated moving average period based upon the times of occurrence.

  • Patent number: 5842465
    Abstract: Stackable fireplace grates having a minimum of widely spaced legs and posts. One or more mediate posts are positioned inside the grate and on inclined, V-shaped sloping rod members which are supported by front and rear horizontal reinforcing support members. The front and rear distances between the rod member upper ends are less than the distances separating points of connection of the horizontal reinforcing support members to the V-shaped rod members. Thus, grates can be stacked in a minimal space, adjacent grates arranged at right angles to each other, with the rod member tips of one grate fitting up through the horizontal reinforcing supports of an adjacent grate.

  • Patent number: 5636624
    Abstract: Various fireplace grates having a minimum of widely spaced legs and posts. One or more mediate posts are positioned inside the grate and on the V-shaped sloping post members which can be resting on the fireplace floor or be elevated with legs. The mediate posts can be straight, inclined or bent. Removable mediate posts are clamped on any sloping post member or parallel reinforcing side members. Gas burners and a reflector can be integrated with the grate. Ash packing utensils are provided.
