Patent number: 11917066Abstract: In modern object-oriented programming, programs are written using typed objects like classes and instances that interact with one another via rules of composition, inheritance, encapsulation, message passing, and polymorphism. Some embodiments described herein can include a method for tokenizing such modern objects that maintains their interactive properties on a blockchain. It improves upon, and diverges from, the smart contract model used mainly on account-based blockchains today to create a generally-programmable token system that is native to UTXO-based blockchains, where individually-owned software objects interact with other software objects owned by other individuals. These tokenized objects are called jigs. Jigs, an abstraction like objects, enable applications to build their own digital assets that interact with other jigs from other applications. Jogs enable users to own their data as tokens and use their data independent of any one application's complete control.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2022Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: RUN INTERACTIVE, INC.Inventor: Brenton John Gunning

Patent number: 11819615Abstract: A headgear for use with a mask includes a first strap being configured to engage a back of a patient's head and extend on either side of the patient's parietal bone behind the patient's ears and assume, in use, a substantially circular or oval shape. At least a portion of the first strap is substantially inextensible. The headgear also includes at least one second strap configured to removably connect the first strap to the mask. The second strap may be more extensible than the first strap. At least a portion of the first strap is self-supporting such that the headgear maintains a three dimensional shape when not in use. The substantially inextensible portion of the first strap is constructed to resiliently return to a predetermined shape when not in use. The arcuate region includes a first portion that may be arranged to align substantially parallel with a top of the patient's head and a second portion being arranged to align substantially to a rear surface of the patient's head.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2019Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: ResMed Pty LtdInventors: Justin John Formica, Anthony Paul Barbara, Brent James Dravitzki, Philip John Gunning

Patent number: 11376384Abstract: An air delivery system for providing a supply of air from a source of air at positive pressure to an interfacing structure located at the entrance to the airways of a patient includes a manifold adapted to connect with the supply of positive air pressure and at least one tube connected to the manifold and adapted to deliver the supply of air to the interfacing structure. Each tube is structured to allow movement between an open phase in which the tube allows the passage of air and a collapsed phase in which the tube is collapsed. Each tube is structured such that weight of a typical patient's head against bedding apparel is sufficient to collapse the tube from the open phase to the collapsed phase.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2019Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: ResMed Pty LtdInventors: Philip Rodney Kwok, Lee James Veliss, Philip John Gunning, Robert Edward Henry, Gregory Robert Peake, Bruce David Gregory, Karthikeyan Selvarajan, Clive Solari, Scott Douglas Brackenreg, David Mark Gilliver

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

Patent number: 10960239Abstract: A patient interface assembly is configured to deliver pressurized gas to the patient's airways. The patient interface assembly includes a patient interface structure that is configured to sealingly engage the patient's face. The patient interface includes a receptacle. The patient interface assembly further includes headgear configured to support the patient interface structure on the patient's head. The headgear includes a clip that is receivable by the receptacle. The receptacle and the clip together form a multiple stage connection arrangement in which each of the multiple stages corresponds to an interlocked position of the clip in the receptacle. Each stage is associated with a corresponding range of headgear tension.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2017Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Assignee: ResMed Pty LtdInventors: Robert Edward Henry, Philip Rodney Kwok, Philip John Gunning, Karthikeyan Selvarajan, James Morrison, Paul Anthony Green, Christopher Kingsley Blunsden, Gregory Robert Peake, Christopher John Baxter
