Patent number: 10137030Abstract: The present technology provides a mandibular repositioning device (MRD) which may be self titratable. The MRD may be repositioned relative to the maxilla, e.g., the mandible may be brought, via the device, to a position forward of a neutral resting and/or bite position. The MRD allows for adjusting the maintained forward position by simply biting-down to preserve the desired degree of mandibular advancement. The present technology also allows for movement of the mandible in a lateral direction. The lateral movement is allowed for any forward longitudinal positioning of the mandible. The MRD may use a plurality of components that are coupled together and allow for lateral and longitudinal motion between each other. The present technology may be used in MRDs which may be self-fitted, typically by immersing the device in hot water and then biting into the device, making an impression of the teeth in the softened thermoplastic polymer.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2014Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Assignee: Sleep Science Partners, Inc.Inventors: Noel Lindsay, Glenn Clark, Heather Flick

Patent number: 9633168Abstract: An initial signature may be generated from an initial set of biometric data. A subsequent set of biometric data may be received along with diagnostic data, and a subsequent signature may be generated from the subsequent set of biometric data. The initial signature and the subsequent signature maybe compared to determine if there is an acceptable degree of matching between the signatures. If the signatures match, such as for example within a threshold percentage, the second set of biometric data is determined to be from the same a subject as the initial set of biometric data, and the diagnostic data is processed for that subject. If the signatures do not match, the initial and subsequent sets of biometric data are determined to be from different people and the diagnostic data is not processed.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2011Date of Patent: April 25, 2017Assignee: Sleep Science Partners, Inc.Inventor: Noel Lindsay

Publication number: 20170046500Abstract: Various exemplary systems and methods include a method for automatically generating a prescription for a prescription product based on a standing order. The standing order is used to determine whether an entirely new prescription for the prescription product will be issued to a user before the prescription product is filled or dispensed based on user response data from the user that is received independent of any prior contact with an authorized prescriber.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2016Publication date: February 16, 2017Inventor: Noel Lindsay

Publication number: 20140250690Abstract: A plurality of non-adjustable mandibular repositioning devices (MRDs) providing incremental advancement are prescribed and manufactured for a patient. A patient's mouth and teeth and other areas may be measured and modeled, for example, using an intra-oral three-dimensional modeling method. A series of MRDs may be manufactured such that each MRD repositions the mandible a different amount. A patient uses the first MRD for a first period of time, and uses one or more of the remaining MRDs in succession to provide mandibular advancement. The series of MRDs are not adjusted or installed by a health professional, making each MRD usage less expensive.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2014Publication date: September 11, 2014Applicant: Sleep Science Partners, Inc.Inventor: Noel Lindsay

The MRD may be repositioned relative to the maxilla, e.g., the mandible may be brought, via the device, to a position forward of a neutral resting and/or bite position.

The present technology also allows for movement of the mandible in a lateral direction. The lateral movement is allowed for any forward longitudinal positioning of the mandible. The MRD may use a plurality of components that are coupled together and allow for lateral and longitudinal motion between each other. The present technology may be used in MRDs which may be self-fitted, typically by immersing the device in hot water and then biting into the device, making an impression of the teeth in the softened thermoplastic polymer.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2014Publication date: May 15, 2014Applicant: Sleep Science Partners, Inc.Inventors: Noel Lindsay, Glenn Clark, Heather Flick

Publication number: 20110264465Abstract: Methods for processing a standing order by a server are disclosed. A standing order is received by a server. The standing order includes a plurality of prescription requirements. A request initiated by a user for a prescription product via a remote computing device is received. The request received from the remote device is processed by the server based on the prescription requirements. A prescription is automatically issued for the user based on the processed request.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 9, 2011Publication date: October 27, 2011Inventor: Noel Lindsay

Patent number: 5992569Abstract: A grease packer (10) for packing grease into a bearing (15) has an inner race and an outer race, having a non-rigid bearing holder (11) that defines a conical chamber (12) having a first open end (13) and a second open end (14) through which the bearing (15) may be loaded into the packer (10) with the outer race (16) sitting on the inner wall (17) of the conical chamber (12) and the bearing (16) spaced from the first open end. A non-rigid insert (20) has a first end defined by a stub (22) adapted to pass through the inner race (18) of the bearing (16) located in the conical chamber (12) and a conical outer surface (23) adapted to seat against the inner race (18) of the bearing (16). Grease applying means (38, 43) is connected to the bearing holder (11) to force grease through the first opening (13) of the bearing holder (11) and into the bearing (16) so as to pack the bearing (16) with grease.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 1997Date of Patent: November 30, 1999Inventor: Noel Lindsay Dawson
