Publication number: 20240074690Abstract: An ergonomic and unobtrusive cardiac monitoring and treatment device for continuous wear includes a band configured to be worn about a thoracic region of a patient within a T1 thoracic vertebra region to a T12 thoracic vertebra region. The band includes a vertical span of between 1 to 15 centimeters along at least 50 percent of a length of the band and is configured to be immobilized relative to a skin surface of the thoracic region by exerting one or more compression forces. The device also includes electrodes and associated circuitry disposed about the band, one or more sensor ports for receiving one or more physiological sensors separate from ECG sensing electrodes, and a controller. The controller includes an ingress-protected housing and a processor configured to analyze ECG information of the patient, detect one or more treatable arrhythmias based on the ECG information, and cause delivery of electrotherapy.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Michael J Gabrin, Christopher L Swenglish, Gary A Freeman

Publication number: 20220104505Abstract: A frozen topologically modified dough product is produced by creating topological features in a dough piece having a main body portion including an upper surface and a lower surface, wherein the topological features is at least one of undulations in the upper surface created through formation of a series of crest and trough regions and a series of tunnels created in the main body portion of the dough piece, and then freezing the dough piece to produce a frozen dough piece. When cooked, particularly through a convection baking operation, the topological features increase the surface area for convection heat transfer during the baking operation, resulting in a significantly reduced overall bake time.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2020Publication date: April 7, 2022Applicant: General Mills, Inc.Inventors: Steven J Cox, David J Domingues, Michael Freeman

Patent number: 11142395Abstract: The invention is for a sanitary container to receive and at least temporarily store waste. The container has a hollow housing with an upper aperture, and a portion of the housing can open and reveal the hollow interior. There is an upper part, located substantially above the housing to act as a lid, and this can move to open and close the upper aperture. There is an endless cassette non-rotationally mounted at or near the upper aperture, which holds a length of shirred plastics tubing which exits the cassette at or near its top and which can flow down through a central aperture of the endless cassette toward a bottom of the housing to form a containment. The containment can then receive waste from the upper aperture when open by the lid. The containment can be accessed by the portion when open, and the containment can be drawn downwardly to form a new containment replenished from the cassette and sealed closed by the sealer unit, and allows removal of the containment.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2014Date of Patent: October 12, 2021Assignee: Butler Concepts LimitedInventors: Raymond Thomas Butler, Patricia Margaret Butler, Paul Francis Zwaan, Michael Freeman
