Patent number: 11724013Abstract: Certain disclosed embodiments concern systems and methods of preparing dialysate for use in a home dialysis system that is compact and light-weight relative to existing systems and consumes relatively low amounts of energy. The method includes coupling a household water stream to a dialysis system; filtering the water stream; heating the water stream to at least about 138 degrees Celsius in a non-batch process to produce a heated water stream; maintaining the heated water stream at or above at least about 138 degrees Celsius for at least about two seconds; cooling the heated water stream to produce a cooled water stream; ultrafiltering the cooled water stream; and mixing dialysate components into the cooled water stream in a non-batch process.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2020Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: Outset Medical, Inc.Inventors: Richard B. Peterson, James R. Curtis

Publication number: 20220342707Abstract: Embodiments described herein are generally directed to a containerized application software deployment architecture. According to an example, a system includes multiple hosts that are part of aa stretch cluster spanning multiple data centers. Each of the hosts include a processing resource, a memory, and a storage device. Each host of a first subset of the multiple hosts runs multiple containerized instances of a component of a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) application within respective containers. At least one host of the multiple hosts is separate from the first subset and is dedicated to running at least one containerized ingress gateway application operable to load balance requests directed to the SIEM application among the multiple containerized instances running on the first subset of hosts.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2022Publication date: October 27, 2022Inventors: Elias S. Alagna, Christopher Michael Crawford, Swami Viswanathan, Richard B. Peterson, Rohan Jayaraj, Randy Thomasson, Alok Daipuria

Patent number: 11235233Abstract: A video game system includes a control unit and a plurality of aroma-dispensing units positioned near a gamer. The control unit includes a hollow housing containing one or more blocks with a plurality of printer-style cartridges removably positioned therein. Each cartridge contains an aromatic compound having a discrete fragrance corresponding to a game feature, such as a character or a myriad of environmental conditions. The block is in fluid communication with a plurality of dispensing units positioned near the gamer. Each dispensing unit includes a fan and a nozzle that project a discrete aromatic compound toward the gamer that is congruent with a game character or environmental condition.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2020Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Inventor: Richard B.
