Publication number: 20210318499Abstract: Multiport assemblies comprising one or more optical ports for receiving an external optical fiber connector for making an optical connection along with useful mounting features for securing the multiport assembly are disclosed. The multiport assembly comprises a mounting member having an aperture and a standoff that is coupled to a shell. The standoff extends outward from a lower surface of the shell to allow easy mounting to irregular surfaces. In another embodiment, the multiport assembly may comprise a second mounting member with an aperture and standoff that is received in a rear shell aperture to inhibit damage to the multiport assembly if a fastener is over-tightened during mounting. In further embodiments, the multiport assembly may comprise a dust plug having a locking feature and a keying port that is received in an optical port for inhibiting dirt, dust or debris from entering when the optical port is not in use.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2021Publication date: October 14, 2021Inventors: Monique Lise Cote, Edward Wilson Licitra, Cameron Meyer, Matthew Wallace Peterson, Radawan Ripumaree, Joel Christopher Rosson, Jonathan Patrick Summers, Lee Alexander Webb, Dayne Wilcox

Patent number: 10967139Abstract: The present invention relates to an inhaler which comprises a durable unit and a replaceable (cartridge) unit, and which comprises systems, subsystems and elements to provide an “open-inhale-close” user experience. A durable unit comprises a breath-actuated trigger mechanism, and optionally electronics for providing user feedback, and telehealth can capability. A replaceable unit comprises a mouthpiece, blister strip, aerosol path dose counter and a blister piercing and aerosolization engine assembly assembly. A lockout mechanism may be provided to prevent further use of the cartridge when the dose counter reaches a preselected limit, such as zero.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2017Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Assignee: Novartis AGInventors: Mark Glusker, Alex Yulan Chiao, George Axford, Colleen Patricia Serafin, Jonathan Patrick Summers, Jonathan Paul Downing

Publication number: 20110218451Abstract: Described herein are passive nasal device having a resistance to exhalation that is greater than the resistance to inhalation. Also described are devices, methods and systems for sensing and measuring intranasal pressure when a subject is wearing a passive nasal respiratory device that is configured to inhibit exhalation more than inhalation. Also described are adapters for nasal devices and methods of using a nasal device adapter. Adapters may be used so that a passive nasal device may be applied indirectly in communication with a subject's nose; in some variations this may allow the passive nasal device to be re-used. Also described herein are nasal devices having a billowing airflow resistor that is configured to have a greater resistance to exhalation than to inhalation.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2009Publication date: September 8, 2011Inventors: Danny Yu-Youh Lai, Arthur Ferdinand, Michael P. Wong, Elliot Sather, Rajiv Doshi, Bryan Loomas, Toru Mino, Jonathan Patrick Summers, Arthur G. Sandoval, Jonathan Downing, Jeffrey W. Servaites, Ryan K. Pierce, Motohide Hatanaka

Publication number: 20090145441Abstract: Delayed resistance nasal devices include an airflow resistor that is configured to normally have a higher resistance to exhalation than inhalation, but the higher resistance to exhalation may be suspended, or delayed by activation of an airflow resistor bypass. Activation of an airflow resistor bypass bypasses or decreases the effect of the airflow resistor on nasal airflow through the nasal device, decreasing the resistance to exhalation. Methods of decreasing, suspending, or delaying the onset of the inhibition of the exhalation through such nasal respiratory devices are described.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2008Publication date: June 11, 2009Inventors: Rajiv Doshi, Bryan Loomas, Arthur Ferdinand, Eric Meyer, Arthur G. Sandoval, Jeffrey W. Servaites, Jonathan Patrick Summers

Publication number: 20050283906Abstract: A rolling chassis supports dual lifting beams pivotably mounted on adjustable supporting pins. The beams are pivoted by rollers raised by dual driving piers. Each beam carried a pair of blocks for a rope running from a locking system on the chassis to one side of an upper harness, and another pair of blocks for a rope running from a locking system on the chassis to one side of a lower harness. A retractable knee pad assists lifting a patient from sitting to standing position as the beams pivot and retract the cables.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2005Publication date: December 29, 2005Inventor: Patrick Summers
