Publication number: 20210353895Abstract: The disclosure relates to medical tubes and methods of manufacturing medical tubes. The tube may be a composite structure made of two or more distinct components that are spirally wound to form an elongate tube. For example, one of the components may be a spirally wound elongate hollow body, and the other component may be an elongate structural component also spirally wound between turns of the spirally wound hollow body The tube need not be made from distinct components, however. For instance, an elongate hollow body formed (e.g., extruded) from a single material may be spirally wound to form an elongate tube. The elongate hollow body itself may in transverse cross-section have a thin wall portion and a relatively thicker or more rigid reinforcement portion. The tubes can be incorporated into a variety of medical circuits or may be employed for other medical uses.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 21, 2021Publication date: November 18, 2021Inventors: Christopher Jaye Norman AMADIO, Elmo Benson STOKS, Charles Christopher NORTH, Mahran Maumoon SUJAU, Joshua Daniel STROOBANT, Gavin Walsh MILLAR, Matthew Liam BUSWELL, Ibrahim AL-TIAY, David Leon MCCAULEY, Andre VAN SCHALKWYK, Katja MUNKELT, Matthew Robert WILSON, Helgard OOSTHUYSEN, Sanjay Parag PATEL, Dominique Richard D'ANDREA, Grant Martin DOVER, Dean Antony BARKER, Jonathan David HARWOOD

Publication number: 20210220601Abstract: A humidification system comprises a first sensor and a second sensor. The first and second sensors are adapted to sense flow characteristics within the system. The first and second sensors are isolated from the flow by barriers formed by respective first and second sealing members. The sealing members extend through apertures formed in the system and have a portion that contacts the sensing elements of the respective first and second sensors. A cartridge can hold the sensors and provide repeatable penetration depths into a flow passage of the system. A medical tube has a composite structure made of two or more distinct components that are spirally wound to form an elongate tube. One component can be a spirally wound elongate hollow body; the other component can be an elongate structural component spirally wound between turns of the spirally wound hollow body.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2021Publication date: July 22, 2021Inventors: Elmo Benson Stoks, Charles Christopher North, Hamish Adrian Osborne, Abhishek Vadnerkar, James Owen Kehoe, Po-Yen Liu, John James Jackson, Igor Yevgeniiovich Shvarchuck, Mahran Maumoon Sujau, Sanjay Parag Patel, Man Kit Jacky Cheung

Publication number: 20140222382Abstract: A method and apparatus for removing noise from a bioelectrical signal are provided. A main analog signal from a bioelectrical test probe and a gating signal are received. A main data stream associated with the main analog signal from the bioelectrical test probe is developed. An adaptive noise cancellation (ANC) unit operates to develop an output data stream by removing noise components from the main data stream in accordance with the reference data stream. If the gating signal indicates that the main analog signal was acquired during a period of bioelectrical activity then the ANC unit operates in a fixed mode, and if the gating signal indicates that the main analog signal was acquired during a period without bioelectrical activity then ANC unit operates in an adaptive mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2013Publication date: August 7, 2014Applicant: MOLECULAR DEVICES, LLCInventors: Parag Patel, Michael Youngquist

Publication number: 20130311483Abstract: The current application is directed to methods and systems for translation of medical codes, including translation of codewords from one medical-concept code to another. The method and systems to which the current application is directed employ a multi-step translation process to translate a source codeword to a corresponding target codeword, associating the source codeword with underlying medical concepts which are, in turn, used to identify candidate target codewords of another medical-concept code. A variety of different weighting-based and filter-like criteria are then employed to select a target codeword from the candidate target codeword. The methods and systems to which the current application is directed provide for more accurate and reliable translations than would be obtained using naive, simple table-based translation.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2012Publication date: November 21, 2013Inventors: Parag Patel, Abhishek Jacob, Virendra Prasad, Vijay Bhuttar, Ryan McDermitt

Publication number: 20080097864Abstract: Online bidding opportunities on goods and/or services are targeted to an individual user based, in part, on the user's navigation history. User navigation (e.g., Web browsing, search requests, etc.) may be tracked, recorded and maintained. User navigation information may be used to determine content-relevant and personalized bidding opportunities for goods and/or services from one or more merchants or auctioneers. By doing so, the bidding opportunities presented are more relevant to the user, reduce the research time and effort expended by such user in exploring multiple websites to purchase such goods and/or services and provide merchants and auctioneers with “hot” leads.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2006Publication date: April 24, 2008Applicant: SWOOGE, LLCInventors: Parag Patel, Malik Magdon-Ismail
