Abstract: A ventilator that is small, lightweight, and portable, yet capable of being quickly adapted to operate in a plurality of different modes and configurations to deliver a variety of therapies to a patent. A porting system having a plurality of sensors structured to monitor a number of parameters with respect to the flow of gas, and a number of porting blocks is used to reconfigure the ventilator so that it operates as a single-limb or dual limb ventilator. In the single-limb configuration, an active or passive exhaust assembly can be provided proximate to the patient. The ventilator is capable of operate in a volume or pressure support mode, even in a single-limb configuration. In addition, a power control mechanism controls the supply of power to the ventilator from an AC power source, a lead acid battery, an internal rechargeable battery pack, and a detachable battery pack.

Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling transitions between a low power mode of operation and a functional mode of operation of a battery system use power provided by the battery cell in the battery system to cause the transitions. The battery system includes a status circuit, a charge/discharge circuit, a set of battery ports, and/or other components. During the low power mode of operation, at least the charge/discharge circuit is rendered inoperative, thus saving power.

Abstract: An accurate, easy-to-use, low cost level indication system can be easily installed on the exterior or interior of an RV. The device provides a visible and/or audible level indication that can be viewed from within the cab of the tow vehicle or motor home day or night. The device provides level indication along the 2 main RV axis's (side to side and front to back). The device can be calibrated at any time by the operator. Calibration can be performed on uneven terrain. The device can also store arrival inclination information for later recall during departure preparations.

Abstract: A portable vehicle position sensor and alert system comprises a portable limit point sensor configured to be positioned by the user in a position to receive at least one tire of the vehicle to be positioned thereon when the vehicle is in a desired position, wherein the sensor is configured to generate a signal when the tire is positioned thereon, and an audible and or visual alarm coupled to the sensor and actuated at least when the sensor generates the signal that the vehicle is in the desired position. A wireless configuration of the position and alert system is disclosed.
