Publication number: 20240115824Abstract: Systems and methods can determine respiratory rates of a patient using a respiratory device by performing one or more frequency analyses of a signal from the gases flow. The signal from the gases flow can be one that varies with the patient's breathing. The system can include a non-sealed patient interface, such as a nasal cannula in a nasal high flow therapy, or any other patient interfaces. The respiratory system can also detect whether the patient has taken off the patient interface and/or whether the patient connected to the patient interface is talking or eating. Data of the patient's use of the respiratory system and the patient's respiratory rates can provide therapy compliance and long-term trend of use information and/or progress in the patient's respiratory functions and/or other physiological functions.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Rhys Matthew James Williams, Charles Grady Cantrell, David Martin Russell, Brett James Ryan, Bryn Alan Edwards, Anton Kim Gulley

Publication number: 20140215221Abstract: In a hitless manual cryptographic key refresh scheme, a state machine is independently maintained at each network node. The state machine includes a first state, a second state, and a third state. In the first state, which is the steady state, a current cryptographic key is used both for generating signatures for outgoing packets and for authenticating signatures of incoming packets. In the second state, which is entered when a new cryptographic key is provisioned, the old (i.e. formerly current) key is still used for generating signatures for outgoing packets, however one or, if necessary, both of the old key and the newly provisioned key is used for authenticating signatures of incoming packets. In the third state, the new key is used for generating signatures for outgoing packets and either one or both of the old key and new key are used for authenticating signatures of incoming packets.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2013Publication date: July 31, 2014Applicant: ROCKSTAR CONSORTIUM US LPInventors: RICHARD GAUVREAU, MICHAEL AALDERS, KIM EDWARDS

Publication number: 20050246495Abstract: A system for exchanging digital data among a plurality of hand-held computer devices. Digital signals are written by a first hand-held device to a mini-cartridge that mini-cartridge is inter-operable among a class of hand-held devices, each of which is equipped with a mini-disk drive. A common digital data format is employed to further facilitate exchange of data between devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 6, 2005Publication date: November 3, 2005Inventors: Kim Edwards, George Krieger, Fred Thomas, Brent Watson

Publication number: 20050002333Abstract: An emulated multi-QoS link provides an application-level Connection (e.g. a Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) E-LSP) with the capability of receiving or transmitting messages of various QoS levels over an interconnection employing a connection-oriented protocol (e.g. ATM) at the data link layer. The emulated multi-QoS link may provide the application managing the application-level Connection (e.g. MPLS) with a control plane Application Programming Interface (API) like that of a multi-QoS link which may provide link status based on the status of underlying connections at the data link layer. The connection-oriented or non connection-oriented nature of the data link layer protocol is transparent to an application instance using the emulated multi-QoS link. Advantageously, emulated multi-QoS links may simplify merging in the case where the application is MPLS.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 18, 2003Publication date: January 6, 2005Inventors: Michael Aalders, Kim Edwards, Dwight Jamieson

Patent number: 6223303Abstract: The present invention provides a method of operating a disk drive having data sites on a disk for recording data thereon. The disk drive is connectable to a host computer and maintains a defect table comprising defective sites reportable to the host computer. The method includes the step of discovering a defective data site on the disk. The defective data site is bounded with a first tier of marginal data sites which are selected based on their proximity to the defective data site. The first tier of marginal data sites is bounded with a second tier of reserved data sites which are selected based on their proximity to the first tier of marginal data sites. The locations of the defective data site, the first tier of marginal data sites and the second tier of reserved data sites are stored in a defect table. The defective data sites and the first tier of marginal data sites are marked as defective sites reportable to the host.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 1998Date of Patent: April 24, 2001Assignee: Western Digital CorporationInventors: Russell A.

Patent number: 6013122Abstract: Tattoo inks are composed of pigments or dyes combined with a tattoo pigment vehicle which entraps, encases, incorporates, complexes, encapsulates, or is otherwise associated with the pigment to form pigment/vehicle complexes that retain the pigment in the tissue. The vehicle can be chosen so that pigments which alone are unsuitable for tattooing can be used for tattooing and optionally can be retained in the tissue permanently. Alternatively, the vehicle renders the tattoo erasable, wherein the tattoo disappears after imposition of an exogenous energy. Alternatively, the tattoo pigment vehicle renders the tattoo semi-permanent, so that the tattoo spontaneously disappears at a predetermined time.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 1998Date of Patent: January 11, 2000Assignee: Option Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Bruce Klitzman, Kim Edward Koger
