Publication number: 20240108844Abstract: A humidification system can include a heater base, a humidification chamber, and a breathing circuit. A cartridge can be removably coupled to the heater base. The cartridge can include various sensors, probes, sensor wire connectors, heater wire connectors, and/or other features. The cartridge can include features configured to mate with corresponding features on the humidification chamber and the heater base. The cartridge includes a memory, such as an EEPROM, or other suitable storage device. When the cartridge is installed on the heater base, the memory is electrically connected to a processor and/or memory of the heater base. Various models of cartridges can be produced for use with different humidification chambers, breathing circuits, and/or therapies. A connector can be configured to couple an inspiratory conduit to an outlet port of the humidification chamber. The connector can provide a pneumatic connection to the outlet port and an electrical connection to the cartridge.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Hamish Adrian OSBORNE, Gavin Walsh Millar, Stephen David Evans, Bruce Gordon Holyoake, James William Stanton, David Leon McCauley, Gareth Thomas McDermott, Nicholas James Michael McKenna, Myfanwy Jane Antica Norton, Adrian John Elsworth, Michael John Andresen, Jonathan Andrew George Lambert, Sandeep Singh Gurm, Tessa Hazel Paris, Joseph Nathaniel Griffiths, Ping Si, Christopher Gareth Sims, Elmo Benson Stoks, Dexter Chi Lun Cheung, Peter Alan Seekup, Po-Yen Liu, Richard Edward Lang, Paul James Tonkin, Ian Lee Wai Kwan

Publication number: 20230281709Abstract: A corporate credit ratings methodology based on the measurement of overall organisational performance is defined and explained. The overall organisational performance is then further explained that it can be derived by measuring over-arching variables of stability, resilience and sustainability. The overall organisational performance corresponds to existing ratings scale which shows corporate credit ratings can be given from the derived overall organisational performance for each company. The values of sub-dimensions can be collected and benchmarked from public and private data sources as explained in the embodiments. A collected data points can be benchmarked, weighted and finally values of stability, resilience and sustainability can be generated leading to the overall organisational performance score and its further interpretation into assigning a corresponding credit ratings to a corporate.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 15, 2023Publication date: September 7, 2023Inventors: VISHVESH RAJENDRAKUMAR PATHAK, PHILIP RICHARD WALSH, KERRY THOMAS SULLIVAN

Publication number: 20230276800Abstract: Methods and systems for temperature-controlled, on-site generation of peracids, namely peroxycarboxylic acids and peroxycarboxylic acid forming compositions are disclosed. In particular, methods for using an adjustable biocide formulator or generator system overcome the limitations of temperature on the kinetics of the peracid generation and/or peracid decomposition inside an adjustable biocide formulator or generator system. The methods include the controlling of the temperature of at least one raw starting material, namely water, to improve upon methods of on-site generation of peracids. The methods allow for the generation of user-selected chemistry without regard to the ambient temperatures of the raw starting materials and/or the biocide formulator or generator system.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2023Publication date: September 7, 2023Inventors: Brandon Herdt, Richard Staub, Thomas C.

Publication number: 20200160442Abstract: A corporate credit ratings methodology based on the measurement of overall organisational performance is defined and explained. The overall organisational performance is then further explained that it can be derived by measuring over-arching indices of stability, resilience and sustainability. The overall organisational performance corresponds to existing ratings scale which shows corporate credit ratings can be given from the derived overall organisational performance for each company. The values of sub-dimensions can be collected and benchmarked from public and private data fields as explained in the embodiments. A collected data points can be benchmarked, weighted and finally index values of stability, resilience and sustainability can be generated leading to overall organisational performance score and its further interpretation into assigning a corresponding credit ratings to a company.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2018Publication date: May 21, 2020Inventors: VISHVESH PATHAK, KERRY THOMAS SULLIVAN, PHILIP RICHARD WALSH

Patent number: 10343880Abstract: Presented herein is a system and method for moving a shelving system includes a plurality of contact members, a plurality of lifting mechanisms, and a plurality of cross members. A single lifting mechanism is coupled with each end of each of the plurality of contact members. The coupling between a lifting mechanisms and an end of a contact member is secured with a locking mechanism. Each cross member is coupled with two adjacent contact members or the lifting mechanisms therewith. The lifting mechanisms may be activated to raise or lowered the contact members coupled therewith, for example by rotating a hand crank. As the contact members are raised, they engage the feet of the shelving system and raise the shelving system off of the floor. The shelving system may then be moved to a desired location.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2018Date of Patent: July 9, 2019Assignee: Gondola TrainInventor: Richard Walsh

Publication number: 20190207853Abstract: A hash calculation is performed using a portion or portions of a packet that is to be transmitted or is received. The calculated hash value can be used to select an entry that defines how the packet is to be handled. The performance of the lookup operation can be monitored and if the hash calculation is resulting in excessive collisions or extra processing steps are needed in connection with the lookup operation, then the inputs to the hash calculation can be modified to attempt to improve the performance of the lookup operation. For example, if performance of the lookup operation meets a threshold level to trigger a change in inputs, then different inputs can be selected and specified for use.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2019Publication date: July 4, 2019Inventors: Cian FERRITER, Fei Z.

Publication number: 20190064179Abstract: This disclosure provides, in one aspect, a method for analyzing a sample from a subject for a biomarker that is indicative of the subject's immune response to ?-glucan. Generally, the method includes obtaining a biological sample from a subject, analyzing the sample for a biomarker anti-?-glucan antibody compared to a reference standard, computing a Relative Antibody Unit (RAU) value for anti-?-glucan antibody in the sample, and identifying the subject as biomarker positive if the RAU value is greater than a predetermined RAU value for the biomarker anti-?-glucan antibody.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2018Publication date: February 28, 2019Inventors: Nandita Bose, Mary A.
