Patent number: 12194213Abstract: A medical treatment system, such as a peritoneal dialysis system, may include control and other features to enhance patient comfort and ease of use. For example, the peritoneal dialysis system may include a control system that can adjust a volume of fluid infused into a peritoneal cavity to prevent intraperitoneal fluid volume from exceeding a pre-determined amount. The control system can adjust by adding one or more therapy cycles, allowing for fill volumes during each cycle of the one or more therapy cycles to be reduced. The control system may continue to allow the fluid to drain from the peritoneal cavity as completely as possible before starting a next therapy cycle of the one or more therapy cycles. The control system may also adjust a dwell time of the fluid within the peritoneal cavity during the one or more therapy cycles in order to complete a therapy within a scheduled time period.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2021Date of Patent: January 14, 2025Assignee: DEKA Products Limited PartnershipInventors: Jacob W.

Patent number: 12036453Abstract: A golf club head comprising a deflection feature to increase ball speed and launch distance, while producing desirable acoustics and optimized mass distribution. The deflection feature can include any one of or any combination of an insert comprising a gap or an insert comprising voids. The insert manipulates the mass distribution while allowing face deflection and positively damp vibrations in the club head. The deflection feature can also include a thin uniform sole, a cutout in the top rail, optimized face material, a thin sole, a reinforcement device, or a multi material weight. The reinforcement element transfers stress away from the face into the reinforcement device, allowing face element to bend at impact. The multi material weight is a dual-density weight comprising a higher density weight base portion and a lower density weight shell portion.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2022Date of Patent: July 16, 2024Assignee: Karsten Manufacturing CorporationInventors: Eric J.
