  • Publication number: 20200276398
    Abstract: An in-line droplet delivery device and related methods for delivering precise and repeatable dosages to a subject for pulmonary use is disclosed. The in-line droplet delivery device includes a housing, a mouthpiece, a reservoir, an ejector mechanism, and at least one differential pressure sensor. The in-line droplet delivery device is automatically breath actuated by the user when the differential pressure sensor senses a predetermined pressure change within housing. The in-line droplet delivery device is then actuated to generate a plume of droplets having an average ejected particle diameter within the respirable size range, e.g, less than about 5-6 ?m, so as to target the pulmonary system of the user. the droplet delivery device is configured in an in-line orientation in that the housing, its internal components, and various device components (e.g., the mouthpiece, air inlet flow element, etc.) are orientated in a substantially in-line or parallel configuration (e.g.

  • Patent number: 10333724
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method, non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, and computer system that implement a latency monitoring and reporting service configured to collect and report latency of service transactions. In one embodiment, a chronicler object is generated and transmitted to a charging engine, where the chronicler object is configured to collect a set of time points as the chronicler object travels through one or more components of the charging engine. Upon return of the chronicler object, the set of time points is extracted from the chronicler object and added to one of a plurality of accumulator objects. Each accumulator object includes a plurality of sets of time points from a plurality of chronicler objects that are received during a reporting window. The plurality of sets of times points of each accumulator object is used to calculate the latency of service transactions.

  • Publication number: 20190134330
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides system and methods for pulmonary health using one or more inhalation devices. In one aspect, the air inhalation devices each comprise one or more sensors configured to capture pulmonary health data for a patient. Using this data, air analytics may be generated pertaining to individualized patient health, general health for people living within a particular geographical location, air quality for a particular geographical region, operational parameters of the inhalation devices, and/or the like. The air analytics may be output, for example, for display on a user device, such as a patient user device, a health care provider user device, and/or an administrator user device.

  • Patent number: 10173600
    Abstract: Storage bin arrangements for motor vehicles are provided. In one example, a storage bin arrangement for a motor vehicle includes a surround having a surround wall that defines a stowage space. A bin has a bin wall that defines a bin storage compartment. The bin moves in the stowage space between a closed position and an open position. In the closed position, the bin storage compartment is substantially disposed in the stowage space. In the open position, the bin storage compartment is substantially exposed. A flap arrangement includes a flap section extending between the bin and the surround wall. The flap arrangement moves the flap section relative to the bin during movement of the bin between the closed position and the open position.
