Publication number: 20220280337Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for temperature modification of a patient, or selected regions thereof, including an induced state of hypothermia. The temperature modification is accomplished using an in-dwelling heat exchange catheter within which a fluid heat exchange medium circulates. A heat exchange cassette is attached to the circulatory conduits of the catheter, the heat exchange cassette being sized to engage a cavity within a control unit. The control unit includes a heater/cooler device for providing heated or cooled fluid to a heat exchanger in thermal communication with the fluid heat exchange medium circulating to the heat exchange catheter, a user input device, and a processor connected to receive input from various sensors around the body and the system. A temperature control scheme for ramping the body temperature up or down without overshoot is provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2022Publication date: September 8, 2022Inventors: David J. Scott, Ben F. Brian, Lloyd F. Wright, Leo A. Chin, Edward W. Hollmen, Daniel W. Seegars, Mark A. Logan

Patent number: 11426756Abstract: A process for in-line extrusion of polymeric coatings onto roofing shingles during manufacturing includes moving a web of shingle substrate material in a downstream direction and extruding a liquefied coating of polymeric material onto at least one surface of the moving web to form a thin film. The liquefied coating may be a molten polymeric material that forms a thin film on a back surface of the shingle material to prevent sticking and eliminate the need for a traditional back dusting with material such as powdered stone. The polymeric film further may be applied to the substrate material in lieu of a saturation coating of asphalt, thus reducing cost and weight while providing a comparable moisture barrier and a lighter more flexible shingle.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2020Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: BMIC LLCInventors: Olan Thomas Leitch, Mark Logan Keaten, Matti Kiik

Patent number: 11255088Abstract: A method of fabricating a polymer coated mat is disclosed to form a moisture barrier. The method includes moving a substrate mat along a processing path and heating the substrate mat to a predetermined temperature. A curtain of molten polymer is extruded through a slot die onto a surface of the heated substrate mat as the mat moves along the processing path to create a composite mat comprising a thin polymer film coating on at least one side of the substrate mat. The composite mat is then cooled in a controlled manner to cure and solidify the polymer film. The resulting composite mat may be used as a construction wrap, or it may be incorporated into other products such as an underlayment. A novel asphalt shingle may be fabricated using the composite mat in lieu of a traditional asphalt saturated mat or other substrate.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2016Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: Building Materials Investment CoporationInventors: Olan T.

Patent number: 10387614Abstract: Systems and methods for remote control and management of medical workstations using an instant messaging infrastructure. A remote client, such as a mobile phone, laptop, tablet, or other computing device, is used to generate instructions or information requests in one or more data packets. The remote client sends the one or more data packets using the instant messaging infrastructure to a medical workstation at another location. A service application in communication with the medical workstation receives the data packets and causes the medical workstation to retrieve the requested information or execute the instruction. The communications between the remote client and the service application are encrypted and signed to ensure secure communications.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2016Date of Patent: August 20, 2019Assignee: MERGE HEALTHCARE INCORPORATEDInventors: Mark Logan, John Fehrenbach

Publication number: 20180150925Abstract: A system is disclosed that implements various features for enabling property appraisals, and other types of property studies, to be performed more efficiently. One such feature involves the generation of user-specific workflows specifying properties to be visited, and photos to be taken, by specific appraisers or other users. The workflows may be generated using “photos needed” flags in a data repository of incomplete appraisal reports, and may be displayed and used by a mobile workflow application running on mobile devices of such users. Another feature involves automatically incorporating the property photos taken by such users into corresponding appraisal reports as the photos are taken and uploaded via the mobile workflow application. Another feature involves predictively delaying the processing of a current appraisal order based on a prediction that a subsequent appraisal order will be received that can be bundled with the current appraisal order.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2016Publication date: May 31, 2018Inventors: Bryan Mark Logan, Susan Harper Allen, David Borrillo, Robert Carpenter
