Publication number: 20210330921Abstract: A patient interface is configured to deliver pressurized breathable gas to a patient's airways and includes a flexible cushion forming at least a portion of a plenum chamber. A pair of flexible receptacles are integrally formed with the flexible cushion and are formed on opposite lateral sides of the flexible cushion. Each flexible receptacle includes an inner wall that forms an opening configured to receive an air delivery tube and an outer wall that is radially offset from the inner wall. The outer wall extends laterally beyond the inner wall on a posterior side of the flexible receptacle and does not extend laterally beyond the inner wall on an anterior side of the flexible receptacle. The patient interface further includes a gas washout vent, a support structure that is attached to and is more rigid than the flexible cushion, and a pair of headgear connectors located on opposing lateral sides of the support structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2021Publication date: October 28, 2021Inventors: Lee James VELISS, Carmel Therese HARRINGTON, Philip Rodney KWOK, Philip John GUNNING, Joshua Adam GUDISKEN, Bart Jeremy CAFFIN, Richard SOKOLOV, Ian Frederick JOHNSON, Eric SUI

Patent number: 11077272Abstract: A respiratory mask for use with a patient, and that is suited for use with children, includes a flexible cushion arranged to interface with and deliver air to the patient's nose. The cushion has a tube connection portion at one or both sides adjacent the patient's nares, the tube connection portion being arranged to connect to an air delivery tube. This location, plus the very low profile of the mask, allows a patient (e.g. an infant) to sleep on their face more comfortably. A more rigid support structure adjacent the cushion is provided to stabilize the cushion and prevent it from collapsing. Headgear is also provided and arranged for releasable attachment to the support structure.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2018Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Assignee: ResMed Pty LtdInventors: Lee James Veliss, Carmel Theresa Harrington, Philip Rodney Kwok, Philip John Gunning, Joshua Adam Gudiksen, Bart Jeremy Caffin, Richard Sokolov, Ian Frederick Johnson, Eric Siu

Publication number: 20190009046Abstract: An apparatus for delivering a flow of breathable gas to a patient for the treatment of Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB) that is less obtrusive includes a nasal cannula, cannulae (2a, 2b), prongs, or pillows and may be sealed or unsealed with the nares of the patient in use. The cannula, pillows or prongs may be positioned on the face of the patient by a headgear (6). The cannula, pillows or prongs may be smaller, lighter, and/or less visible than other nasal cannula, cannulae, pillows or prongs and may therefore be less obtrusive to the patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 5, 2018Publication date: January 10, 2019Inventors: Michiel KOOIJ, Paul Jan KLASEK, Adam Vivian BENJAFIELD, Peter John SWEENEY, Richard SOKOLOV, Philip Rodney KWOK, Gerard Michael RUMMERY, Scott Alexander HOWARD, Robert Edward HENRY, Renee Frances FLOWER, Enrico BRAMBILLA, Dieter HEIDMANN, Glenn RICHARDS, Ian Frederick JOHNSON

Patent number: 6945685Abstract: A belly door for a gaming machine includes a frame for receiving a sheet of artwork and a light reflective chamber having an open face which is located behind the frame when in a closed position. Clamping means are provided for clamping the artwork between the frame and the chamber. A recess extends along one edge of the chamber including sockets for receiving a fluorescent light tube when the chamber is in the closed position. A diffuser panel is disposed in the chamber behind the artwork located so as to be edge lit by the fluorescent light tube. The reverse face of the panel, which in use, faces the rear wall of the chamber defines a series of white opaque dots which in use, diffuse and direct the light in a forward direction perpendicular to the plane of the panel. The size of the dots in the panel increases with the distance of the dots from the fluorescent light tube. This arrangement ensures that the light panel produces a very evenly balanced lighting of the artwork.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2000Date of Patent: September 20, 2005Assignee: Aristocrat Technologies Australia Pty Ltd.Inventors: Richard Sokolov, Errol D'Souza, Vladimir Halic, Ian Frederick Johnson

Patent number: 6678919Abstract: A hinge assembly for a gaming machine including a hinge pin fixed to a door of the gaming machine and a outer sleeve fixed to a belly door frame. The outer sleeve includes first and second arms and is partially annular in cross-section defining a first gap between opposing ends of the arms. A pin element is fixed to a light chamber located behind the belly door frame and rotatably mounted inside the outer sleeve. A second gap is defined between free ends of the pin element. When the pin element is rotated to a particular orientation with respect to the outer sleeve, the first and second gaps align to allow the pin element and outer sleeve element to be simultaneously mounted around the hinge pin. Relative rotation of the pin element and outer sleeve misaligns the gaps thereby inhibiting the pin element and outer sleeve from becoming disengaged.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2002Date of Patent: January 20, 2004Assignee: Aristocrat Technologies Australia PTY LTDInventors: Richard Sokolov, Errol D'Souza, Vladimir Halic, Ian Frederick Johnson
