Patent number: 12233212Abstract: Some embodiments provide for an inspiratory limb for a breathing circuit that includes a first segment that comprises a first heater wire circuit and a second segment that comprises a second heater wire circuit. The inspiratory limb can include an intermediate connector that includes a connection circuit that electrically couples the first heater wire circuit to the second heater wire circuit. The inspiratory limb can be configured to operate in two modes wherein, in a first mode, electrical power passes through the first electrical connection to provide power to the first heater wire circuit without providing power to the second heater wire circuit, and in a second mode, electrical power pass through the first electrical connection to provide power to both the first heater wire circuit and the second heater wire circuit.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2021Date of Patent: February 25, 2025Assignee: Fisher & Paykel Healthcare LimitedInventors: Po-Yen Liu, Peter Alan Seekup, Anthony James Newland, Malcolm David Smith, Ping Si, Helgard Oosthuysen, Matthew Robert Wilson, Ian Lee Wai Kwan, Sinaa Alnashi, Paul James Tonkin, Kiel Anthony McCool, David Robert Kemps, Yayi Lin, Callum McDonald Ross, David John Sims

Patent number: 11861718Abstract: Improved computer modeling techniques, and uses thereof, are described herein. A set of unstructured textual data is received. Certain textual data is removed from the set of unstructured data to form an initial vocabulary set of textual data. One or more bigrams are added to the vocabulary set of textual data to form a final vocabulary set of textual data. The final vocabulary set of textual data is divided into a plurality of subsets of textual data based on type. A model is trained using each of the plurality of subsets of textual data to form a plurality of trained models, each corresponding to one of the types.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2019Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Nationwide Mutual Insurance CompanyInventors: John Kemp, Spencer Herath, Thomas Michael Winningham, Shannon Terry, Christopher P.
