Patent number: 10828437Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems, methods and devices for respiratory support. As one example, a method for respiratory support is described that includes providing a measured pressure, and calculating a net flow based on at least one measured inlet flow and measured outlet flow. A relationship between a first value related to the measured pressure, a second value related to the measured net flow and a third value related to patient effort is used to provide a prediction of patient effort. An interim value is updated based at least in part on the prediction of the patient effort, and used to help compute a patient effort. A ventilation cycle is initiated using the computed patient effort.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2018Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: COVIDIEN LPInventor: Milenko Masic

Patent number: 9629971Abstract: The systems and methods include controlling pressure and/or flow during exhalation. The systems and methods include novel exhalation for ventilating a patient. The systems and methods decrease the amount of time it takes the patient to passively expire an inspired volume of gas. For example, the systems and method may determine one or more pressure profiles based on one or more criterion and may select and utilize the pressure profile that provides for the fastest rate of lung emptying.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2011Date of Patent: April 25, 2017Assignee: COVIDIEN LPInventors: Milenko Masic, Peter Doyle, Gardner Kimm

Publication number: 20170094764Abstract: In laser-produced plasma (LPP) extreme ultraviolet (EUV) systems, pressure waves and other impulsive disturbances originating from plasma bubble emitting EUV light are created which affect flight of incoming droplets. These disturbances slow the migration of subsequent droplets to the plasma bubble. Because the incoming droplets are slowed, the laser beam does not directly hit the droplet at a primary focus point. This causes the resulting level of EUV light generated to be lower than expected and is manifested as a periodic oscillation in the LPP EUV system. An iterative learning controller (ILC) is used to reduce the periodic oscillations when operating the LPP EUV system in a burst mode or a continuous mode. The ILC, on the rising edge of each burst, uses an error signal collected during a completed burst and the input control signal from the completed burst to update the input control signal for a next burst.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2015Publication date: March 30, 2017Inventor: Milenko Masic
