  • Publication number: 20230385438
    Abstract: A system, method, and device for data integrity validation are provided. The system includes a database for storing user data, a black box device for locally answering queries received from an end user device without revealing the stored user data, and end user device. The black box device includes memory for storing the user data, data filters, filtered data, the queries received from the end user device, query results, and excluded query result data and processor in communication with the memory. Processor is configured to generate the filtered data, determine whether each query received that addresses the filtered data is permitted, provide a response to each permitted query based on the generated filtered data, generate the excluded query result data by excluding stored user data that would facilitate identifying any user from the response to each permitted query, and transmit the excluded query result data to the end user device.

  • Publication number: 20200001039
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a humidification system includes a heater base having a heater plate, a humidification chamber, and circuit. The circuit can include various conduits, including an inspiratory conduit, expiratory conduit, Y-piece, patient conduit, and/or dry conduit. In use, the chamber contains a quantity of liquid. The heater base heats the heater plate, which in turn heats the liquid to a temperature that causes at least some of the liquid to become vapor, thereby humidifying the gases within the chamber. The gas is delivered to the patient via the inspiratory conduit. Various features can help control the system and ensure the patient receives gases having the desired conditions. These features can be used individually or in various combinations and subcombinations both in existing humidification systems and improved systems for respiratory humidification, laparoscopy, and other purposes.
