Publication number: 20240316356Abstract: A wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD) system comprises a plurality of patient parameter electrodes and a plurality of defibrillator electrodes to contact a patient's skin when the WCD is delivering therapy to the patient, a processor to receive one or more patient parameters from the one or more patient parameter electrodes, an energy storage device to store a charge to provide electrical therapy to the patient via the plurality of defibrillator electrodes, and a non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) monitor to obtain a blood pressure measurement of the patient and to provide the blood pressure measurement to the processor. The processor is to determine whether to provide electrical therapy to the patient based on the one or more patient parameters during an episode, and to obtain the blood pressure measurement from the NIBP monitor during the episode.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2024Publication date: September 26, 2024Applicant: West Affum Holdings DACInventors: Kenneth F. Cowan, Steven E. Sjoquist, Zoie R. Engman, Erick M. Roane, Laura M. Gustavson, Douglas K. Medema, Garrett M. Kotlarchik, Pamela Breske, Jonathan P. Niegowski, Joseph L. Sullivan, Robert R. Buchanan

Patent number: 4576756Abstract: Methods, materials and apparatus for production of hydrogen peroxide are disclosed. In one preferred embodiment, high surface area circulating elements derivatized with a quinone catalyst are reduced in an electrolytic cell where the cathode may also be derivatized with a quinone catalyst and a solution quinone at low concentration is used as a mediator. Once reduced, the circulating elements are separated and used to form hydrogen peroxide from molecular oxygen in an aqueous, electrolyte-free, environment. The circulating elements can be cycled repeatedly. Particular, novel naphthoquinone compounds are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 1984Date of Patent: March 18, 1986Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyInventors: Mark S. Wrighton, Robert M. Buchanan, Gary S. Calabrese
