Patent number: 7338515Abstract: In a convective system that includes a blower to thermally treat and pressurize air, a convective device to receive and convect the thermally-treated pressurized air, and an air hose to conduct a flow of thermally-treated pressurized air from the blower to an inlet port in the convective device, an interface device is provided to control the flow of air at the interface where the inlet port and an end of the air hose operate to conduct the flow of air out of the air hose into the convective device. The interface device is received at the end of the air hose and operates to support the flow of air out of the end when the end and the inlet port are brought together. The interface device operates to stop, inhibit, or restrict the flow of air out of the end when the end and the inlet port are separated.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2002Date of Patent: March 4, 2008Assignee: Arizant Healthcare Inc.Inventors: Albert Philip Van Duren, Allen Hamid Ziaimehr, John Paul Rock, Scott Douglas Augustine, Gary Rabindranath Maharaj, Randall Charles Arnold

Patent number: 7220273Abstract: Airflow provided through an air hose to the inlet port of an inflatable thermal device is controlled by a mechanical device disposed at an end of the air hose that is coupled to the inlet port. In response to coupling the end of the air hose to the inlet port, the mechanical device operates to open the end and permit air to flow through the air hose and the inlet port. In response to decoupling the end of the air hose from the inlet port, the mechanical device operates to block air from flowing through the end of the air hose.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2001Date of Patent: May 22, 2007Assignee: Arizant Healthcare Inc.,Inventors: Albert Philip Van Duren, Allen Hamid Ziaimehr, John Paul Rock, Scott Douglas Augustine, Gary Rabindranath Maharaj

Patent number: 7074982Abstract: A modular bandage for treating wounds located on highly contoured, non-planar regions of a person includes a standoff for placement near the wound, and a sheet of material for forming a sealed environment over the wound in conjunction with the standoff. The modular bandage may further include a heater to thermally regulate the sealed environment formed by the standoff and the sheet of material. A sheet of material for such a bandage may include various uniform or compound structures.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2002Date of Patent: July 11, 2006Assignee: Arizant Healthcare Inc.Inventors: Paul Leslie Knutson, Scott Douglas Augustine, John Paul Rock

Patent number: 6447538Abstract: A condition is detected between an inlet port of an inflatable thermal device, such as an inflatable thermal blanket, and an end of an air hose through which a flow of pressurized, thermally treated air is provided to the device by way of the inlet port. The condition may be disconnection of the end of the air hose from the inlet port or the identification of a particular style of inflatable thermal device. A response to the condition may include provision of a perceptible indication that the condition has occurred. Other responses may include cessation of the flow of air or changing an air flow characteristic.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2000Date of Patent: September 10, 2002Assignee: Augustine Medical, Inc.Inventors: Albert Philip Van Duren, Allen Hamid Ziaimehr, John Paul Rock, Scott Douglas Augustine, Gary Rabindranath Maharaj

Patent number: 6126681Abstract: A condition is detected between an inlet port of an inflatable thermal device, such as an inflatable thermal blanket, and an end of an air hose through which a flow of pressurized, thermally treated air is provided to the device by way of the inlet port. The condition may be disconnection of the end of the air hose from the inlet port or a change in the value of an air flow characteristic such as temperature or velocity. A response to the condition may include provision of a perceptible indication that the condition has occurred. Other responses may include cessation of the flow of air or changing an air flow characteristic.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 1998Date of Patent: October 3, 2000Assignee: Augustine Medical, Inc.Inventors: Albert Philip Van Duren, Allen Hamid Ziaimehr, John Paul Rock, Scott Douglas Augustine, Gary Rabindranath Maharaj
