Publication number: 20180338747Abstract: An apparatus includes a disposable assembly and a reusable assembly. The disposable assembly includes a fluid input port, a fluid output port, and a tube configured to provide fluid communication between the fluid input port and the fluid output port. The reusable assembly includes a housing, a fluid management assembly that is configured to transition between an open position and a closed position, and a sensing assembly. The fluid management assembly is configured to prevent fluid from traveling past the tube to the fluid output port in the closed position. The sensing assembly is configured to sense fluid accumulating within the tube while the fluid management assembly is in the closed position. The sensing assembly is also configured to drive the fluid management assembly from the closed position to the open position when the sensing assembly detects fluid within the tube at a predetermined range.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2017Publication date: November 29, 2018Inventors: Jay K. Joshi, Alex S. Holterman, Jordan D. Altman, Antonio J. Belton, Sean J. Corrigan, Keith A. Grider, Daniel J. Greene, Stephen J. McPhilliamy, Marcus S. Papadopoulos, Michael C. Garrett, Frank E.

Patent number: 9994041Abstract: The present disclosure describes, among other things, a device. The device includes a plurality of sensors, an output system, a processor coupled to the plurality of sensors and the output system, and a memory. The memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to receive a signal from the plurality of sensors, interpret the signal as a first Braille cell, and send a signal corresponding to the first Braille cell to the output system.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2015Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignee: Perkins School for the BlindInventors: David Morgan, David A. Carhart, Michael C. Garrett, Stephen Lingle, Frank Pistorio, Jackson Wilson

Patent number: 9942960Abstract: The described embodiments relate to systems, methods, and apparatuses for controlling a lighting unit to provide multiple different static and dynamic illumination patterns. The illumination patterns can be provided in response to changes in environmental conditions detected by sensors of the lighting unit. For instance, the lighting unit can provide a flame-like illumination pattern when the sensor is detecting a first threshold amount of motion, and a static illumination pattern when the sensor is detecting a second threshold amount of motion. The flame-like illumination pattern can be expressed using multiple light guides that extend from the lighting unit and receive different colors of light that imitate the motion of a flame. The light guides can be, for example, cylindrical or pipe-shaped, and etched with different patterns to absorb and reflect incident light.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2017Date of Patent: April 10, 2018Assignee: HealthCo LLCInventors: Scott Blaise Tylicki, Brian James Skelton, Michael C. Garrett, Michael C. McKee, Jackson Wilson

Patent number: 9387337Abstract: There is provided an energy delivery device comprising a storage device, a discharge circuit and a disarm circuit. The discharge circuit comprises a switch electrically connected to the storage device, and is selectively operable to deliver energy from the storage device to a load, e.g., a patient needing defibrillation, preferably in a multiphasic waveform. The disarm circuit comprises the switch. Preferably, the discharge circuit comprises an H-bridge circuit. There are also provided delivery devices: which comprise a shoot-through elimination circuit; which include housing elements which, when assembled, cause electrical connection between respective components; which include a housing having a small volume and an energy storage device having a large capacitance; which comprise a shunt circuit which, when activated, prevents switching of a switch. There are also provided methods of assembly and disassembly of an energy delivery unit and methods of delivering energy to a load.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2015Date of Patent: July 12, 2016Assignee: ZOLL Medical CorporationInventors: Michael C. Garrett, Robert Larson, Jerry Bazata, Dean L. Milani, William J. Smirles

Publication number: 20150359706Abstract: A compression measurement and feedback system which measures the magnitude and the angle of manual CPR force applied to a patient and provides the measured magnitude and direction information as compression data feedback to the person applying CPR to the patient. Any variation in the magnitude or direction of the compression force applied may be calculated from the compression data measured by the compression sensor. A monitor receives the compression data and processes the compression data to generate feedback data to the CPR provider indicating the magnitude and direction of the applied CPR compression along with ideal CPR compression characteristics for comparison.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2015Publication date: December 17, 2015Inventors: Leszek Bogdanowicz, Brian J. Skelton, Michael C. Garrett
