Patent number: 12357755Abstract: A fluid management system may include an inflow pump configured to pump fluid from a fluid supply source to a treatment site within a patient at a flow rate; and a controller configured to operate at a target flow rate in a flow control mode. In the flow control mode, the controller may be configured to maintain the target flow rate while monitoring a measured pressure communicated to the controller from a pressure sensor. When the measured pressure reaches a preset pressure threshold, the controller may be configured to automatically switch from the flow control mode to a pressure override mode in which the controller automatically reduces the flow rate below the target flow rate to return the measured pressure at or below the preset pressure threshold.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2020Date of Patent: July 15, 2025Assignee: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SCIMED, INC.Inventors: Leah Fanning, Paul Byrne, Niraj Prasad Rauniyar, Evan Gyllenhaal, Vivek Shah, Nishant Khattar, Noel Smith

Patent number: 12053559Abstract: A dynamic treatment system incorporates multiple pathogen reduction devices and sensors for enhanced pathogen reduction. The system can provide coordinated multi-level control to provide automated engineered control of pathogen reduction that is suitable for use in confined spaces, such as building and vehicle systems. Room level occupancy tracking provides biological load level estimates while pressure level sensing provides pathogen travel path estimation through the building. Combining this pathogen load information and airflow path information the system can drive room level and building level pathogen reduction device adjustments to enhance pathogen reduction based on expected pathogen travel. Zone level pathogen interception, height adjustable portable treatment devices, along with various application specific pathogen reduction devices can be integrated into the dynamic treatment system.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2021Date of Patent: August 6, 2024Assignee: UV Partners, Inc.Inventors: David W Baarman, Paul Byrne, Colin J.

Patent number: 10304412Abstract: An example method includes receiving, by a first computing device, a command regarding operation of an application. A first version of the application is configured to execute on the first computing device and a second version of the application is configured to execute on a second computing device that has a different form factor than the first computing device. In response to receiving the command, the first computing device may determine a series of instructions that cause the first version of the application to display visual representations of an activity on the first computing device synchronized to displayed visual representations of the activity on the second computing device. The displayed visual representations are respectively adapted to the form factors of the first and the second computing devices. The first computing device may execute the determined series of instructions.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2016Date of Patent: May 28, 2019Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Paul Byrne, Matthew Amacker, Melissa-Ann Chan
