Patent number: 9344055Abstract: Signal-processing devices having memristors are described for performing frequency-discrimination functions, amplitude-discrimination functions, and time-oriented functions. In each case, the time-domain behavior of the memristors described herein enables these functions to be performed. In one embodiment, memristance of an arrangement of memristors of a device is, after an initial transitional period, predominantly at a first level if frequency of an input signal of the device is less than a first frequency and predominantly at a second level if the frequency of the input signal is greater than a second frequency.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2014Date of Patent: May 17, 2016Inventors: Martin Anthony Keane, John R.

Publication number: 20160022351Abstract: A treatment system includes a fluid cooling supply system for chilling and delivering liquid coolant to a patient. The fluid cooling supply system includes a cooling device and a heat exchanger device. The heat exchanger device is biased to the cooling device and is in fluid communication with a treatment device in a patient. The fluid cooling supply system includes at least one biasing mechanism to provide a given biasing force between the heat exchanger device and the cooling device to effectuate and improve heat transfer. The liquid coolant may be circulated through an energy delivery device positioned in an airway of a patient to preserve tissue. The system is controlled to circulate liquid coolant at a given temperature and pressure for a selected amount of time during pulmonary treatment of a patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2014Publication date: January 28, 2016Applicant: Holaira, Inc.Inventors: Ryan Kaveckis, Edward S.

Patent number: 8800554Abstract: A dry powder inhaler comprises at least one medicament reservoir and a closure member engaged with the reservoir so as to close an opening therein. A surface of the reservoir adjacent the opening and a surface of the closure member are in abutment, either directly or via a seal member interposed between the reservoir and the closure member. At least one abutting surface is formed with a projection that increases the contact pressure between said surfaces, thereby improving the seal between them and reducing the potential for ingress of moisture between said surfaces into the reservoir.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2009Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Assignee: Innovata Biomed LimitedInventors: James Gordon, Andrew Paul Morris, Philip Carl Parkes, Robert Andrew Rudge, Douglas Robert Saunders Bradshaw, John Philip Briant, Adrian John Streeter

Publication number: 20130310822Abstract: A pulmonary treatment system includes a compact configuration for delivery to a first airway of a patient. An energy delivery system of the pulmonary treatment system delivers energy to target tissue in or along an airway wall of the first airway to reduce airway resistance in a second airway distal to the first airway. The pulmonary treatment system protects tissue in the airway wall of the first airway located between the target tissue and the energy delivery system by at least one of thermodynamically cooling, circulating a liquid coolant through the pulmonary treatment system, and shielding a portion of the energy delivery system.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 15, 2013Publication date: November 21, 2013Applicant: Holaira, Inc.Inventors: Martin L.
