Publication number: 20210187235Abstract: Disclosed herein is a wearable personal, humidifier that includes a reservoir for holding water including an output port, a water delivery material including a hydrophilic porous or hydrophilic fibrous material, wherein the water delivery material is configured to make an airtight seal with the output port of the reservoir. The water delivery material includes a cavity having an opening to the output port of the reservoir. The output port is located on the bottom of the reservoir when the wearable personal humidifier is worn such that the flow of water from the reservoir to the water delivery material is self-regulated. As a user breathes, water from the water delivery material evaporates into the air consumed by the user and water from the reservoir automatically re-saturates the water delivery material.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2019Publication date: June 24, 2021Inventor: Sean Sweeney

Patent number: 10642337Abstract: Micro-idle power in a subsystem of a portable computing device may be actively managed based on client voting. Each client vote may include a client activity status indication and a client latency tolerance indication. Votes are aggregated to provide an aggregate client latency tolerance, which may be used to obtain a set of micro-idle time values. Micro-idle timers in the subsystem may be set to associated micro-idle time values. The micro-idle timers determine whether one or more of the micro-idle time values have elapsed. A power management policy associated with each micro-idle time value determined to have elapsed may be applied to a portion of the subsystem.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2017Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: Qualcomm IncorporatedInventors: Vinod Chamarty, Trang Nguyen, Edwin Jose, Xin Kang, Sean Sweeney, Michael Drop, Boris Andreev, Farrukh Aquil

Patent number: 9927866Abstract: A method and system for optimizing a core voltage level of a portable computing device (“PCD”) and enhancing frequency performance of individual subcomponents are disclosed. A plurality of voltage values is determined for a plurality of subcomponents within the PCD. Next, a reduced set of voltage values may be calculated with a voltage aggregator based on the plurality of voltage values. An optimized voltage level for a shared power domain may then be determined by a voltage optimizer within the PCD from the reduced set of voltage values. A shared power domain may then be set to the optimized voltage level. Subsequently, an operating frequency of each subcomponent may be optimized with a frequency performance enhancer based on the optimized voltage level. An optimal power collapse duration may also be calculated by the frequency performance enhancer and set for each subcomponent from the optimal frequency.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2014Date of Patent: March 27, 2018Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Hee Jun Park, Yiran Li, Inho Hwang, Young Hoon Kang, Joshua Stubbs, Sean Sweeney, R.

Patent number: 9690363Abstract: A method and system for optimizing a core voltage level of a portable computing device (“PCD”) and enhancing frequency performance of individual subcomponents are disclosed. A plurality of voltage values for a plurality of subsystems is determined. At least one subsystem is a multiplexed subsystem. Next, a reduced set of voltage values is calculated based on the plurality of voltage values and an optimized voltage level is determined for a shared power domain. The shared power domain is subsequently set to the optimized voltage level. If the optimized voltage level is determined to exceed a required voltage level for the at least one multiplexed subsystem when it is running the plurality of processing engines, a subset of the plurality of processing engines may be identified to process a workload of the multiplexed system at a more efficient level of power consumption than the full plurality of processing engines.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2014Date of Patent: June 27, 2017Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Hee Jun Park, Yiran Li, Inho Hwang, Young Hoon Kang, Joshua Hirsch Stubbs, Sean Sweeney, Robert Nicholson Gibson, Andrew James Frantz, Viswanathan Kumaragurubaran, Sumant Madhav Paranjpe

Publication number: 20150283355Abstract: A vapor hydrated packaged catheter assembly and method of manufacturing and distributing same includes a gas impermeable package housing a catheter within a catheter-receiving cavity. The catheter assembly has a hydrophilic coating applied to at least a portion of the outer surface of a catheter tube or shaft which may be surrounded by a sleeve to provide a no-touch, sure grip feature. The catheter assembly is disposed within the catheter receiving cavity of the package together with a limited amount of a vapor donating liquid provided as a source of vapor to activate the hydrophilic coating. The amount of vapor donating liquid is less than the amount that would otherwise be sufficient to cause a spill hazard. It may be loose liquid as a desired percentage of the volume of a tube-receiving portion of the catheter receiving cavity of the package, or it may be contained in a liquid sequestering element.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 18, 2015Publication date: October 8, 2015Inventors: Michael Murray, Thomas H. Gilman, Sean Sweeney, Martin P. Creaven
