Patent number: 9083625Abstract: An improved technique for communicating with components of an electronic system includes operating a driver according to a designated protocol but agnostically to the components themselves. Information about particular system components is supplied to the driver by respective data sources. To obtain discovery information about a component, the driver accesses a data source for the component and communicates with the component using the designated protocol. The driver thus operates merely as a conduit for component-specific information, which is supplied by the data sources rather than by the driver itself.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2012Date of Patent: July 14, 2015Assignee: VCE Company, LLCInventors: Rajesh Nandyalam, Venkatesh Madhipatla, Neil Russell, Victor Zhang

Patent number: 8728002Abstract: A system and method of calculating an accurate estimate of pulmonary mechanics of a patient, including but not limited to compliance, resistance, and plateau pressure without modification of ventilator flow pattern. The accurate estimation of pulmonary mechanics is derived from airway pressure and flow sensors attached to the patient using novel mathematical models. These estimated figures for pulmonary mechanics (respiratory system compliance and resistance) are important for monitoring patient treatment efficacy during mechanical ventilation and ensuring alveoli do not over distend to avoid baro- and/or volutrauma, especially in patients with restrictive lung diseases. The subject method of calculating these accurate estimated figures for pulmonary mechanics is based on linear or non-linear calculations using multiple parameters derived from the above-mentioned sensors.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2010Date of Patent: May 20, 2014Assignees: University of Florida Research Foundation, Inc., Convergent Engineering, Inc.Inventors: Nawar Nazar Yousif Al-Rawas, Andrea Gabrielli, Neil Russell Euliano, Michael Joseph Banner

Publication number: 20130166385Abstract: An event location system identifies events of interest to a user. The system uses a filter and location associated with the user to search a database of events, thereby producing an event result set representing current events near the user's location that match the user's filter. The filter may include one or more criteria, such as criteria obtained from one or more social networking profiles of the user. The location may be identified automatically, such as by using a Global Positioning System (GPS) module. The system may automatically update the event result set over time and as the user's location changes so that the event result set is always up-to-date and reflects the user's current location.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2012Publication date: June 27, 2013Inventor: James Neil Russell
