  • Patent number: 11376388
    Abstract: Medical breathing tubes have a tubular body that defines a lumen extending between open terminal ends of the tubular body. An internal form is enclosed within the lumen and supportive of the tubular body. The internal form may be a coated encapsulated internal form where the coating secures the internal form to the tubular body. The internal form may provide for a series of alternative crests and troughs of the tubular body. A patient interface and/or a securement system may be attached to the tubular body.

  • Publication number: 20210361901
    Abstract: A connector and tubing combination includes a tubing segment with an end piece, such as a tubing flange. The tubing flange can be secured within the connector by an outer sleeve and an inner sleeve of the connector. Both of the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve are located outside of the tubing flange and the tubing segment. In addition, the inner sleeve, outer sleeve and the tubing flange are mechanically connected.

  • Publication number: 20210322825
    Abstract: A system and method for predicting next pitch are disclosed herein. A computing system retrieves pitch-by-pitch information for a plurality of events and game context information associated with each pitch in the pitch-by-pitch information. The computing system converts the pitch-by-pitch information and the game context information into a plurality of graph-based representation. A graph neural network learns to generate a pitch type prediction for each pitch based on the plurality of graph-based representations. The computing system generates a trained graph neural network based on the learning. The computing system receives a current graph-based representation of current pitch-by-pitch information for a current pitcher and current game context information. The computing system predicts, via the trained graph neural network, a pitch type for the next pitch to be delivered from the current pitcher.

  • Publication number: 20210308405
    Abstract: Nasal cannulas for providing respiratory therapy to patients can have a curved prong section that has turbulation elements on the inside curve of the prong. A flow of breathing gas moving through the prong may incur less resistance and create less noise when flowing through such a prong due to the promotion of favorable flow dynamics.

  • Publication number: 20210077764
    Abstract: This invention relates to a patient interface and component parts which may be integrated or form a part of an assembled interface for use by a user. In various embodiments, the component parts may include: a component may be provided as a clip for supporting a gas supply tube to the interface; a buckle may be provided at an end of a headgear strap for releasable attachment to the interface; a manifold part of a patient interface may be attachable to the interface in a manner allowing for adjustment or re-orientation such that an associated gas supply conduit is re-routed to be to a left- or a right-side of the interface (or user); one or a pair of support side arms of the interface may be configured to be twisted or bent so as to more comfortably accommodate the shape of a user's face upon which they are to be located in use; parts of a manifold at the connection of a gas supply tube to the interface may be configured to be of a multi-part manifold assembly.

  • Publication number: 20200368927
    Abstract: A method of assembling a razor cartridge. A housing is injection molded. An elastomer is co-injection molded to the housing forming a pair of laterally spaced apart blade stabilizers. A primary blade member having a cutting edge is mounted to the housing. The cutting edge of the primary blade member is contacted with the laterally spaced apart blade stabilizers. A blade retention member is mounted to a top surface of the housing. A pair of lateral ends of the cutting edge of the primary blade member is constrained between the blade retention member and the pair of laterally spaced apart blade stabilizers.

  • Publication number: 20200338293
    Abstract: Nasal cannulas for providing respiratory therapy to patients can have a body, two prongs extending from the body, and a gases inlet on one side of the body. There can be a throttle or internal localized reduction in the cross-sectional area of a cavity defined by the internal walls of the cannula body in between the prongs. In at least some arrangements, the throttle can partially or substantially fully equalize flow between the prongs of the cannula.
