Patent number: 11529503Abstract: A wound treatment system includes a housing. A processor is located in the housing. A pressure monitoring system is coupled to the processor. A power delivery system is located in the housing and coupled to the processor. An oxygen concentrator is located in the housing and coupled to the power delivery system. The oxygen concentrator includes a plurality of oxygen outlets. The processor is configured to receive pressure information from the pressure monitoring system that is indicative of a pressure in a restricted airflow enclosure provided by a dressing and located adjacent a wound site; and use the pressure information to control the power provided from the power delivery system to the oxygen concentrator in order to control an oxygen flow created by the oxygen concentrator and provided through one of the plurality of oxygen outlets to the restricted airflow enclosure.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2019Date of Patent: December 20, 2022Assignee: ELECTROCHEMICAL OXYGEN CONCEPTS, INC.Inventors: Michael C. Wells, Mark Parker, Daniel J. Clarius, Andrew Parker, Faraidoon Pundole, Tom Woods, Mark Niederauer, James P. Daley

Patent number: 11391846Abstract: A system for identifying spoofed navigation signals includes a multi-element antenna configured to receive a plurality of navigation signals. The system also includes at least one processor configured to obtain a gain vector for each of the navigation signals and analyze the gain vectors for the navigation signals to determine whether one or more of the navigation signals are spoofed. To analyze the gain vectors for the navigation signals, the at least one processor may be configured to (i) determine whether at least a specified number of the navigation signals have substantially the same gain vectors and (ii) in response to determining that at least the specified number of the navigation signals have substantially the same gain vectors, determine that the navigation signals having substantially the same gain vectors are spoofed.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2020Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: Raytheon Systems LimitedInventors: Michael Jones, Michael C. Wells, Steven Clark

Patent number: 10632018Abstract: A wound treatment system includes a housing that defines an oxygen outlet. An oxygen production subsystem is included in the housing and coupled to the oxygen outlet. A control subsystem is coupled to the oxygen production subsystem and configured to receive pressure information that is indicative of a pressure in a restricted airflow enclosure that is coupled to the oxygen outlet. The control subsystem then uses the pressure information to control power provided to the oxygen production subsystem in order to control an oxygen flow that is created by the oxygen production subsystem and provided through the oxygen outlet to the restricted airflow enclosure.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2017Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: ELECTROCHEMICAL OXYGEN CONCEPTS, INC.Inventors: Michael C.

Patent number: 9730838Abstract: A non-invasive tissue oxygenation system for accelerating the healing of damaged tissue and to promote tissue viability is disclosed herein. The system is comprised of a lightweight portable electrochemical oxygen concentrator, a power management system, microprocessors, memory, a pressure sensing system, an optional temperature monitoring system, oxygen flow rate/oxygen partial pressure monitoring and control system, a display screen and key pad navigation controls as a means of providing continuous variably controlled low dosages of oxygen to a wound site and monitoring the healing process. A kink resistant oxygen delivery tubing, whereby the proximal end is removably connected to the device and the distal end with holes or a flexible, flat, oxygen-permeable tape is positioned at or near the wound bed as a means of applying near 100% pure oxygen to the wound site.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2009Date of Patent: August 15, 2017Assignee: Electrochemical Oxygen Concepts, Inc.Inventors: Michael C.
