Patent number: 11950677Abstract: Devices and methods for electrostatic application of cosmetics are described. In one embodiment, a system for electrostatic deposition of cosmetic material on a surface includes: a housing; a nozzle configured for breaking the cosmetic material into cosmetic particles and for directing the cosmetic particles out of the housing and toward the surface; and a reservoir configured for holding the cosmetic material. The reservoir is connected to the nozzle. The system also includes an airflow conduit configured to provide air to the nozzle; and a nozzle electrode configured proximately to the nozzle. The nozzle electrode is configured to charge the cosmetic particles.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2020Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: L'OrealInventors: Zane Bowman Allen Miller, Kyle Harris Yeates, Sam Benjamin Goldberg, Joseph Eric Skidmore, Lily Truong, Julian John Trowbridge

Patent number: 9262588Abstract: The disclosure describes improved systems and methods for configuring the layout of a graphical display in a ventilatory system. Specifically, the present methods provide a user interface for configuring one or more layout categories associated with data on the graphical display. Upon selection of a layout category, a clinician is provided with a preview of the layout of the layout category. The preview consists of one or more parameter positions. Each parameter position is associated with a parameter. The clinician is also provided with a listing of possible parameters. The parameter positions in the preview and the possible parameters in the listing are selectable elements. Once a parameter position is selected, a possible parameter can be chosen to replace the parameter associated with the selected parameter position. If this replacement is acceptable to the clinician, the clinician can access an accept button to implement the replacement in the graphical display.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2013Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Assignee: COVIDIEN LPInventor: John Skidmore

Publication number: 20130239038Abstract: This disclosure describes systems and methods for displaying alarms to a clinician in a ventilatory system. Specifically, embodiments described herein seek to optimize the informative presentation of alarms on a ventilator interface. Embodiments of the present disclosure may provide one or more selection elements, each selection element indicating a ranked alarm event. The ranking of an alarm event may be determined by alarm level. If two alarm events are associated with the same alarm level, the ranking of the alarm events may be determined by parameter priority. Alarm event ranking is communicated by display in a hierarchical structure. When an alarm event ranking changes, the alarm event may shift up or down the hierarchical structure, depending on whether the ranking increased or decreased.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2013Publication date: September 12, 2013Applicant: Covidien LPInventors: John Skidmore, Mark Brecht, Jim Fissel

Publication number: 20110138323Abstract: Embodiments described herein seek to optimize the informative presentation of alarms on a ventilator user interface. Embodiments may provide a first level of display that provides a summary of an alarm event and, upon selection, a second level of display that provides additional detailed information regarding the alarm event. Further embodiments may provide access, via hyperlink or otherwise, to settings and/or display screens for resetting the alarm, for reconfiguring alarm settings as appropriate, or for gathering additional information regarding the alarm event. For multiple simultaneous alarm events, a plurality of alarm messages may be prioritized for a clinician on a designated area of the user interface. Prioritization may be communicated via the presentation of various icons, alerts, text, or otherwise, on individual alarm messages.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 4, 2009Publication date: June 9, 2011Applicant: Nellcor Puritan Bennett LLCInventors: John Skidmore, Mark Brecht, Jim Fissel
