Publication number: 20240131287Abstract: A system and method to match an interface to the face of a user for respiratory therapy. A facial image of the user is stored. Facial features based on the facial image are determined. A database stores facial profiles based on facial features and a corresponding plurality of interfaces. A database stores operational data of respiratory therapy devices with the plurality of corresponding interfaces. A selection engine is coupled to the databases. The selection engine is operative to select an interface for the user from the plurality of corresponding interfaces based on a desired outcome based on the stored operational data and the facial features. The collected data may also be employed to determine whether the selected interface is correctly fitted to the face of the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2022Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Gregory Robert PEAKE, Nathan Zersee LIU, Sakeena DE SOUZA, Michael Christopher HOGG, Redmond SHOULDICE

Publication number: 20240115195Abstract: Apparatus and methods provide compliance management tools such as for respiratory pressure therapy. In some versions, a respiratory pressure therapy system may include one or more processors, such as of a data server, configured to communicate with a computing device and/or a respiratory pressure therapy device. The respiratory pressure therapy device may be configured to deliver respiratory pressure therapy to a patient for a session. The computing device may be associated with the patient. The processor(s) may be further configured to compute a therapy quality indicator of the session from usage data relating to the session. The therapy quality indicator may be a number derived from contributions of a plurality of usage variables for the session in the usage data. The processor(s) may be further configured to present, such as by transmitting, the therapy quality indicator to the computing device. The therapy quality indicator may promote patient compliance.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Applicant: ResMed inc.Inventors: Jeffrey Peter ARMITSTEAD, Mark David BUCKLEY, Michael Waclaw COLEFAX, Susan Robyn LYNCH, Dion Charles Chewe MARTIN, Gregory Robert PEAKE, Dinesh RAMANAN, Jamie Graeme WEHBEH, Natalie ZOTELO

Patent number: 8750445Abstract: The present invention relates to a communication method, system and signal, and in particular to a method and system for communicating information in a digital signal. It has particular application to satellite or terrestrial packet-based multi-user radio communication systems. A method for communicating information in a digital signal comprising data symbols is disclosed, wherein the information is encoded in a sequence characteristic of pilot symbols distributed amongst the data symbols, such that a receiver is able to determine the sequence characteristic and retrieve the transmitted information. The invention allows information to be encoded into a sequence characteristic of pilot symbols, rather than relying on modulating such information onto the pilot symbols themselves. This allows a significantly larger number of pieces of information to be transmitted than hitherto possible, and the technique is more resistant to large frequency errors than prior techniques.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2013Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: EMS Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Michael Robert Peake, Mark Rice, Timothy Clifton Giles

Patent number: 7558354Abstract: This invention relates to signal processing in telecommunications, particularly but not exclusively for use in wireless TDMA systems. In particular, the invention concerns methods for use in communication systems making use of pilot symbols. The invention provides a method of placing pilot symbols in a data stream for telecommunication systems, wherein the pilot symbols are spaced in time using a range of different intervals between symbols. The intervals between the pilot symbols are substantially fractal in nature, the distribution of pilot symbols involving repetitions of irregular groupings of pilot symbols in the data stream. Preferably, the irregular groupings of pilot symbols are irregularly spaced in the data stream. The invention also provides a method and means for acquiring the time and frequency offset of a packet of data by using pilot symbols distributed within the packet as defined above.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2003Date of Patent: July 7, 2009Assignee: DSpace Pty., Ltd.Inventors: Michael Robert Peake, Mark Rice
