Publication number: 20190125993Abstract: This invention relates to a breath indicator that is receivable by a part of a breathing assistance apparatus that supplies gas to a patient. The indicator comprises an elongate body having a gas sampling end and an attachment end. The attachment end is adapted to attach to a part of a breathing assistance apparatus and for locating the gas sampling end. The gas sampling end is to be located in a region where gas from the patient is to be exhaled. The gas sampling end being in communication with a sensor comprising a detector material changeable between a first visual indicator state relating to an inhalation phase of the patient, and a second visual indicator state relating to an exhalation phase of the patient. The detector material is capable of changing between the visual indicator states at a sufficient rate to substantially correspond with the inhalation and exhalation phases of the patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2018Publication date: May 2, 2019Inventors: David Robert Kemps, Simon Boulton, Jonathan Mark Church

Publication number: 20150048530Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2013Publication date: February 19, 2015Inventors: Dexter Chi Lun Cheung, Matthew Jon Payton, Michael Barraclough, Michael John Andresen, Kieran Michael Orchard, Philip James Edgeworth, Peter Kenneth Graham, Anthony James Newland, Daniel John Smith, Timothy James Beresford Sharp, Elmo Benson Stoks, Jonathan Mark Church, Andre van Schalkwyk

Patent number: 7333300Abstract: A method for reducing noise in a lapping guide. Selected portions of a Giant magnetoresistive device wafer are masked, thereby defining masked and unmasked regions of the wafer in which the unmasked regions include lapping guides. The wafer is bombarded with ions such that a Giant magnetoresistive effect of the unmasked regions is reduced. The GMR device is lapped, using the lapping guides to measure an extent of the lapping.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2004Date of Patent: February 19, 2008Assignee: Hitachi Global Storage Technologies Netherlands B.V.Inventors: Mark A.

Publication number: 20060172737Abstract: Methods and apparatus for selecting a cellular network to provide one or more communication services for a mobile communication device are disclosed. A scanning operation is performed by the mobile device to identify a plurality of cellular networks that support a voice communication service in a geographic coverage area. The mobile device then identifies which of the cellular networks makes a data communication service available to it. Advantageously, the mobile device assigns priority to or selects a cellular network that makes the data communication service available over a network that fails to make the data communication service available, and may register with that network. The data communication service may include, as examples, an e-mail communication service or an Internet access service. Preferably, the cellular network operates in accordance with GSM (Global System for Mobile) and GPRS (Generalized Packet Radio Service).Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2006Publication date: August 3, 2006Inventors: Hugh Hind, Mark Church, Noushad Naqvi
