Publication number: 20220379002Abstract: Embodiments of negative pressure wound therapy systems, apparatuses, and methods for operating the systems and apparatuses are disclosed. In some embodiments, the apparatus includes a negative pressure source, a connector port, at least one switch, and a controller. The negative pressure source is connected through the connector port to either (i) a wound dressing having a canister configured to store fluid aspirated from the wound or (ii) a wound dressing without a canister between the connector port and the wound dressing. The controller determines, based on a signal received from the at least one switch, whether the canister is positioned in the fluid flow path and adjusts one or more operational parameters of negative pressure wound therapy based on the determination. The switch is activated by the connection of either the canister or canisterless wound dressing to the apparatus.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2022Publication date: December 1, 2022Inventors: Ben Alan Askem, Anthony Jonathan Bedford, Kevin Bendele, Ali Khishdoost Borazjani, Nicola Brandolini, Ian Charles Culverhouse, Otteh Edubio, James Maxwell Eelbeck, Matt Ekman, Matthew Keith Fordham, Philip Gowans, Michael James Hayers, Mark Richard Hesketh, James Daniel Homes, Allan Kenneth Frazer Grugeon Hunt, Mark Edward Jones, William Kelbie, Reece Knight, David Mcleod, Nisha Mistry, Samuel John Mortimer, Fatoona Mosa, Matthew Murphy, Michael Paton, Neil Harry Patrick, Louis della-Porta, Felix Clarence Quintanar, Lee Michael Rush, Carl Dean Saxby, Daniel Lee Steward, Catherine Thaddeus, Simon Tyson, David Ronald Upton, William Jacob Ward, Nicholas Warrington, Hannah Bailey Weedon

Publication number: 20220245976Abstract: Vehicular data is blockchain recorded for immutable storage. Any vehicle (e.g., a car, truck, bus, marine, construction) may generate the telemetry data, the diagnostic data (e.g., OBDII), maintenance data, and the vehicular data. The blocks of data and/or the blockchain may be locally generated by the vehicle and recorded to the blockchain by a hardware processor (such as an engine controller, a chassis controller, or other electronic control module). Additionally or alternatively, the telemetry data, the diagnostic data, maintenance data, and the vehicular data may be wirelessly transmitted from the vehicle (via a network interface to a communications network) for routing to a network destination (such as a server or blockchain peer node) that records the corresponding data to blocks of data within the blockchain. The telemetry data, the diagnostic data, maintenance data, and any other vehicular data is timestamped and immutably recorded for analysis, for verification, and for marketing/sales opportunities.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2022Publication date: August 4, 2022Inventor: James Daniel Luciano
