  • Patent number: 11808407
    Abstract: The invention relates to a pressurized gas container, in particular a gas cylinder, having an internal volume for gas storage, a fluid-distributing valve, a pressure sensor and microprocessor-based control means. The microprocessor-based control means are configured to detect filling of the gas container with gas, by comparing said at least one pressure value measured by the pressure sensor with at least one predefined and stored reference pressure threshold value; then to initiate a timer on the basis of a detection of filling of the gas container with gas; and to trigger a warning when the timer exceeds a given period calculated from the initiation of the timer.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11373500
    Abstract: The invention relates to a pressurized gas container, having an internal volume for storing gas under pressure comprising a valve for distributing fluid, a pressure sensor for measuring the pressure of the gas and delivering at least one measurement signal, a microprocessor for processing the measurement signal delivered by the pressure sensor and a digital display. The microprocessor converts the measurement signal delivered by the pressure sensor into a measured pressure value, and compares the measured pressure value with at least one preset threshold-pressure value. The digital display displays at least one predefined term reflecting the amount of gas in the container, which is dependent on the comparison performed by the microprocessor.

  • Publication number: 20210069443
    Abstract: The invention relates to a medical ventilator (1) comprising an external housing (2), and a rigid exoskeleton structure (3) arranged around the external housing (2) and rigidly connected thereto. The rigid exoskeleton structure (3) comprises a plurality of elongate elements (4) defining a volume (5) in which the external housing (2) is housed, the greater part of the rigid exoskeleton structure (3) being spaced (7) from said external housing (2) when said external housing (2) is housed in the volume (5). A carrying handle (9) is also provided, allowing a user to manually grasp the exoskeleton structure (3) and transport the assembly (1, 3) composed of ventilator and exoskeleton structure.
