  • Patent number: 12214129
    Abstract: A laryngeal mask airway device includes an airway tube and a laryngeal mask placed at a distal end of the airway tube. The distal end of the airway tube opens inside the laryngeal mask. The device includes a connector placed at a proximal end of the airway tube. The connector is in fluid communication with the laryngeal mask through the airway tube and is configured to be connected to a ventilation equipment. The device includes a movable element placed in the laryngeal mask and configured to steer a tip of a catheter passing through the airway tube. The device further includes a control element mounted on the proximal end of the airway tube and a motion transmission device operatively connected to the movable element and to the control element to move the movable element and to steer the tip of the catheter by acting on the control element.

  • Patent number: 12098080
    Abstract: Mixed rare earth carbonate may be prepared by mixing a rare earth sulfate solution with a precipitating agent comprising a first sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) solution, to form a first mixture, and generating a higher sulfate rare earth carbonate wet cake from the first mixture. The higher sulfate rare earth carbonate wet cake can be mixed with a second sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) solution to form a second mixture, and a lower sulfate rare earth carbonate can be generated from the second mixture.

  • Publication number: 20240272918
    Abstract: Systems and methods for locating repeatable user-driven processes in recordings of users interacting with application programs. The processing, such as by a Robotic Process Automation (RPA) system, to locate repeatable user-driven processes can, for example, initially acquire various recordings of one or more users interacting with one or more application programs operating on one or more user devices. The recordings can include at least user-triggered events as well as a User Interface (UI) screen image captured for each of the user-triggered events. By processing the captured UI screens from the recordings, those of the screen images that are more likely (or predictably) used to start or stop a repeatable user-driven process can be selected. Thereafter, repeatable user-driven processes within the recordings can be identified based on the selected screen images. Advantageously, the repeatable user-driven processes found within the recordings can thereafter be converted into software robots.

  • Patent number: 11475645
    Abstract: In some implementations, a device may determine dimensions of an installation area in a real-world environment and may obtain information identifying dimensions of an installation template associated with installing an equipment in the real-world environment. The device may determine a scale for displaying augmented reality representations associated with installing the equipment, based on the dimensions of the installation area and the dimensions of the installation template. The device may identify, based on information identifying an installation point of the installation template, a virtual installation point associated with installing the equipment in the installation area. The user device may display an augmented reality representation of the virtual installation point to enable a depiction of a corresponding real installation point in the installation area. The augmented reality representation may be displayed based on the scale and a distance from the user device to the installation area.

  • Publication number: 20220185509
    Abstract: Processes for the production of bags containing saline solution. The processes include sealing bags with crystalline components and then sterilizing the sealed bags with crystalline components. The bags may be sterilized in an autoclave and then transported to a consumption site which produces water-for-injection (WFI) suitable for use in an IV bag. The WFI is added to the sterilized bags, dissolving the solid salt (USP-grade sodium chloride), to produce a bag with a 0.9 w/v % normal saline solution.

  • Patent number: 10625038
    Abstract: Apparatus for enabling speech while a tracheostomy tube is in place includes a tracheostomy tube 1 with a vocalisation gas lumen 15 extending along its length and opening at one end externally of the tube above the sealing cuff 10 in the trachea T. A ventilator 2 is connected to the main bore 3 of the tube 1 to supply ventilation gas cyclically to the patient. The ventilator 2 also has an auxiliary outlet 29 connected to the vocalisation gas lumen 15. The auxiliary outlet 29 supplies vocalisation gas to the vocalisation gas lumen 15 only during the expiratory phases of ventilation. Alternatively, the apparatus includes a separate supply 50 of vocalisation gas connected with the vocalisation gas lumen 15? via a valve 52. The valve 52 is controlled by pressure in the main gas supply tubing 31? so that the valve is opened to enable the supply of vocalisation gas only during the expiratory phases of ventilation.
