Patent number: 8388548Abstract: A method and apparatus that provides an expert system for determining respiratory phase during ventilatory support of a subject. Discrete phase states are partitioned and prior probability functions and observed probability functions for each state are defined. The probability functions are based upon relative duration of each state as well as the flow characteristics of each state. These functions are combined to determine phase probabilities for each state using Bayes' theorem. The calculated probabilities for the states may then be compared to determine which state the subject is experiencing. A ventilator may then conform respiratory support in accordance with the most probable phase. To provide a learning feature, the probability functions may be adjusted during use to provide a more subject specific response that accounts for changing respiratory characteristics.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2011Date of Patent: March 5, 2013Assignee: ResMed LimitedInventors: Paul Anthony Green, David John Bassin

Patent number: 8254637Abstract: Systems and methods for selecting a mask system for a patient are provided. Certain example embodiments include generating 3D contours of patients and selecting mask systems based at least on these contours. These contours may be generated by using, for example, a cushion of translatable pins, a nasal cannular scanning device, and/or a shadow stereopsis sensor. Certain other example embodiments allow images and/or videos to be captured and optionally synchronized. Then, images of various mask systems may be overlaid to determine how well a mask system fits. In still other embodiments, a user can hold a transparency corresponding to a mask design in front of the patient's face to determine how well a mask system fits.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2007Date of Patent: August 28, 2012Assignee: ResMed LimitedInventors: Mark Alexander Abourizk, Paul Anthony Green, Robert Edward Henry, Karthikeyan Selvarajan, Joanne Elizabeth Drew
