Patent number: 11311716Abstract: A variety of arrangements and methods relating to a defibrillator are described. In one aspect of the invention, a defibrillator includes two paddles that each include a defibrillator electrode covered in a protective housing. The two paddles are sealed together using a releasable seal to form a paddle module such that the housings of the paddles form the exterior of the paddle module. An electrical system including at least a battery and a capacitor is electrically coupled with the paddles. The battery is arranged to charge the capacitor. The capacitor is arranged to apply a voltage at the defibrillator electrodes, which generates an electrical shock for arresting a cardiac arrhythmia.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2018Date of Patent: April 26, 2022Assignee: CARDIOTHRIVE, INC.Inventors: Walter T. Savage, Shelley J. Savage, Walter N. MacLay, Douglas C. Morrison, Thomas K. Geraty, Mark D. Brinkerhoff, Ronald S. Boeder, Tony M. Ton, Jeffrey S. Greger

Patent number: 10828500Abstract: A variety of arrangements and methods relating to a defibrillator and a multiphasic pulse generator are described. In one aspect of the invention, a defibrillator includes two paddles that each include a defibrillator electrode covered in a protective housing. The two paddles are sealed together using a releasable seal to form a paddle module such that the housings of the paddles form the exterior of the paddle module. The multi-phasioc pulse generator includes a first subsystem, a second subsystem, and a switching component is electrically coupled with the paddles. The first subsystem and the second subsystem are arranged to generate a first phase of a pulse and a second phase of the pulse, the first phase of the pulse having a positive phase or a negative phase, and the second phase of the pulse having a phase in opposite polarity to the first phase of the pulse.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2018Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: CardioThrive, Inc.Inventors: Walter T. Savage, Shelley J. Savage, Walter N. MacLay, Douglas C. Morrison, Thomas K. Geraty, Mark D. Brinkerhoff, Ronald S. Boeder, Tony M. Ton, Jeffrey S. Greger, Peter D. Gray, Douglas M. Raymond

Patent number: 5729877Abstract: The present invention is directed to a pinch resistant buckle assembly to reduce the potential for pinching the skin of a person when connecting a female receptacle and a male latch of the assembly. The male latch has an outwardly extending engagement portion which is received by a female receptacle. The female receptacle has a body having a chamber adapted to releasably engage the engagement portion of the male latch. The chamber has an opening at the engagement end of the female receptacle body through which the engagement portion of the latch passes to engage the chamber.A guide shield is located adjacent the opening and extends substantially away from the opening in a direction from which the male latch is inserted. Extending the shield outwardly away from the opening effectively enlarges the area of the opening by providing a larger effective area to guide the engagement portion of the male latch into the opening. The guide shield provides an extended surface leading into the chamber through the opening.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 1996Date of Patent: March 24, 1998Assignee: Bell Sports, Inc.Inventors: C.

Patent number: 5641220Abstract: A portable headlamp that is particularly designed for use with bicycles integrates a number of essential features and functions desired by modem bicyclists. The headlamp has an easily removable and universally mountable fastening system that requires no tools to install. The mounting system includes a rotary joint that enables a headlamp to be pointed in any desired direction while maintaining a constant friction that can be set by the user. A focussable light beam enables the operator to vary the light distribution pattern, thereby making the headlamp suitable for use under a number of different conditions. The electrical system for the headlamp can be readily upgraded to accommodate the needs of different riding conditions, without requiring additional parts.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 1995Date of Patent: June 24, 1997Assignee: Bell Sports, Inc.Inventors: Scott A. Sutherland, Thomas K. Geraty, Robert S. Choi, C. Kwai Kong, C. Philip Hope
