  • Publication number: 20210001075
    Abstract: A ventilator includes a bidirectional breath detection airline and a flow outlet airline. The flow outlet airline includes an airline outlet. The flow outline airline is configured to be connected to an invasive ventilator circuit or a noninvasive ventilator circuit. The breath detection airline includes airline inlet. The airline inlet is separated from the airline outlet of the flow outline airline. The ventilator further includes a pressure sensor in direct fluid communication with the breath detection airline. The pressure sensor is configured to measure breathing pressure from the user and generate sensor data indicative of breathing by the user. The ventilator further includes a controller in electronic communication with the pressure sensor. The controller is programmed to detect the breathing by the user based on the sensor data received from the pressure sensor.

  • Publication number: 20200386333
    Abstract: A check valve can include a pressure actuator or an electromagnetic actuator. The check valve includes a valve inlet, a valve outlet, and flap disposed between the valve inlet and the valve outlet. The check valve has an open state and a closed state. The pressure actuator in fluid communication with the valve inlet. The check valve has an open state and a closed state. The check valve is configured to allow an input gas to flow from the valve inlet to the valve outlet when the check valve is in the open state. The check valve is configured to preclude the input gas from flowing from the valve inlet to the valve outlet when the check valve is in the closed state. Upon actuation of the pressure actuator or the electromagnetic actuator, the flap moves away from the valve inlet to allow the inlet gas to move from the valve inlet to the valve outlet.

  • Publication number: 20200101252
    Abstract: An oxygen delivery apparatus wearable by user includes a frame including nose pads connected to a bridge portion, an oxygen inlet defined by one of the nose pads, an oxygen inlet defined by the frame, and a hollow channel contained by the frame. The oxygen inlet and oxygen outlet are in fluid communication via the hollow channel. The frame can be formed as a monolithic structure using additive manufacturing. A nasal prong can be connected to the oxygen outlet such that a prong outlet of the prong is in fluid communication with the hollow channel. The prong outlet is positioned within a nostril of the user during use of the apparatus. A method of fabricating the frame includes obtaining measurement information for at least one of a head feature or facial characteristic of the user and generating a digital model of the oxygen delivery apparatus using the measurement information.

  • Patent number: 10182127
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for the caching of content prior to the content being requested. A request for desired content may be received from a client application at a caching server. The request may also indicate additional content related to the desired content that may be subsequently requested by the client application. The indicated additional content (and the desired content, if not already cached) is retrieved from an origin server. The desired content is transmitted to the client application at the user device, and the additional content is cached at the caching server. Subsequently, a second request may be received from the client application that includes a request for the additional content. The additional content, which is now cached at the caching server, is served to the client application by the caching server in response to the second request (rather than being retrieved from the origin server).

  • Publication number: 20190007308
    Abstract: In various embodiments, methods and systems for implementing distributed traffic management are provided. A data request from a content server is accessed using a content serving agent. The data request is determined to be associated with a corresponding network link based on referencing an exterior protocol topology file. The exterior gateway protocol topology file includes a mapping of Internet Protocol (IP) prefixes to corresponding router-network-link identifiers indicating a router interface. A router-network-link identifier and one or more local control actions for the data request are identified using the control output file that includes a mapping between the router-network-link identifier and the one or more local control actions. Utilization data for the router-network-link identifier is accessed using the utilization data file. The utilization data is determined to be associated with executing one or more local control actions.

  • Patent number: 10154729
    Abstract: An articulating support arm includes a base, a first set of control arms having proximal ends and distal ends, with the proximal ends of the first set of control arms being pivotally connected to the base. The support arm further includes a second set of control arms having proximal ends and distal ends, with the proximal ends of the second set of control arms being disposed forward of and pivotally connected to the distal ends of the first set of control arms. The distal ends of the second set of control arms also are pivotally connected to a control head, and a locking assembly selectively prevents pivotal movement of the control arms, so as to provide vertical adjustment of the control head relative to the base.

  • Patent number: 9863324
    Abstract: An engine has an oil tank mounted to an engine wall with clevis ears formed on both the oil tank and a mount bracket secured to the engine wall. A link connects the mount bracket clevis ears to the oil tank clevis ears. The link has a pair of spherical bearings that provide a connection allowing movement between the link, the oil tank clevis ears, and the mount bracket clevis ears. A stiffening element connects at least one of the mount bracket clevis ears to at least one of the oil tank clevis ears. The stiffening element is positioned on an outer side of the at least one of the mount bracket clevis ears and the oil tank clevis ears.

  • Patent number: 9625082
    Abstract: A simultaneously foldable multi-screen monitor support having separate support arms connected to separate posts extending from a base. The posts are mounted on end sections of the base and are pivotable about a center section. When one post is moved between a first position and a second position, the other post simultaneously moves between a third position and a fourth position. The movement of one post moves the other post and monitors that are supported on the posts are moved in the same manner from a folded position to an operating position or vice versa.
