Publication number: 20240108839Abstract: An interface for positive pressure respiratory therapy includes a mask assembly having a mask seal and a mask shell. The mask assembly is positioned lower than and exposes a bridge of the user's nose. The mask seal includes first and second portions on respective first and second sides of a nasal region that contact opposing sides of the user's nose. The first and second portions each include supports that help maintain a shape of the mask seal. A pair of covers can be supported relative to the mask assembly and adjacent a respective one of the first and second portions of the mask seal. The covers limit expansion of the first and second portions of the mask seal in response to pressurized air within the mask seal. The supports of the first and second portions can transfer load from the mask seal to the covers.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Fadi Karim Moh'd Mashal, Kirstin Elizabeth Middelkoop, Roheet Patel, Peter David Alexander Bearne, Mark Andrew Thompson, Amit Galgali, Michael John Henri Cox, Gregory James Olsen, Mark Arvind McLaren, Max Leon Betteridge, Bruno Sintive

Patent number: 11934344Abstract: In certain instances, a data management application (software application) that manages moving data files, and the like, from a primary high-speed storage system. An end-user can configure the data management application for particular files via management policies. Based on the management policies, after a file is migrated from the primary storage system to a targeted secondary storage system, a breadcrumb pointing to a webpage for the migrated file is left behind in the primary storage system. The webpage can be used to manage the migrated file, such as moving the migrated file back to the primary storage system.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Spectra Logic CorporationInventors: Jeffrey Leon Braunstein, David Lee Trachy, John Walter Kranz, Kumar Goswami, Krishna Subramanian, Mohit Dhawan, Michael Peercy

Patent number: 11926411Abstract: A leg mechanism includes an articulated leg system, a passive device and a cable. The articulated leg system has a leg portion. The passive device is coupled to the articulated leg system and is configured to apply a first force to a portion thereof. The cable is coupled to the articulated leg system and is configured to apply a second force, in opposition to the first force, to a portion thereof. When the cable is drawn away from the articulated leg system, the second force moves the leg portion in a first direction. When tension is released from the cable, the passive device exerts the first force so as to move the leg portion a second direction that is opposite the first direction.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2022Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Georgia Tech Research CorporationInventors: Claudio V.

Publication number: 20220223259Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing medical or medical-related diagnosis and treatment, and, more particularly, for implementing risk assessment for suicide and treatment based on interaction with virtual clinician, food intake tracking, and/or satiety determination. In various embodiments, a computing system might generate a virtual clinician capable of simulating facial expressions and body expressions, and might cause, using a display device and/or an audio output device, the generated virtual clinician to interact with a patient. The computing system might analyze the interactions between the virtual clinician and the patient (and in some cases, food intake data) to determine likelihood of risk of suicide by the patient, and, based on a determination that a likelihood of risk of suicide by the patient exceeds a first predetermined threshold value, might send an alert message to one or more healthcare professionals regarding the likelihood of risk of suicide by the patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2020Publication date: July 14, 2022Inventors: Cecilia Bergh, Per Södersten, Jenny Van den Bossche Nolstam, Ulf Brodin, Modjtaba Zandian, Michael Leon

Publication number: 20210151188Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing eating disorder diagnosis based on analysis of patient responses to a set of questions having closed-ended answer options. In various embodiments, a computing system might autonomously determine a diagnosis of whether the first patient has an eating disorder, based on logistic regression analysis of a first set of patient responses to the set of questions. If so, the computing system might autonomously identify a first set of weighted values and a second set of weighted values each corresponding to each of the received first set of patient responses from the first patient; might autonomously calculate a first probability of diagnosis of a first eating disorder and a second probability of diagnosis of a second eating disorder; might autonomously identify which eating disorder the first patient is likely to have; and might display the identified eating disorder.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2020Publication date: May 20, 2021Inventors: Cecilia Bergh, Per Södersten, Ulf Brodin, Modjtaba Zandian, Michael Leon

Patent number: 10905844Abstract: An improved aerosol dispensing apparatus includes an aerosol container, a discharge piece movably mounted to the aerosol container, a flow control valve mounted within the discharge piece, a battery, and an electronically controlled metering valve electronically connected to the battery and in fluid communication with the flow control valve. The flow control valve is movable between an open position wherein a volume of an aerosol formulation is directed from the aerosol container through the flow control valve to the metering valve, and a closed position, wherein the metering valve is configured to precisely control a flow of the aerosol formulation outward of the discharge piece. A solenoid is electronically connected to the battery and is movable between an actuated position wherein the solenoid urges the flow control valve into the open position, and an un-actuated position wherein the flow control valve remains in the closed position.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2019Date of Patent: February 2, 2021Assignees: DunAn Microstaq, Inc., Pearl Therapeutics, Inc.Inventors: E.
