  • Publication number: 20240108844
    Abstract: A humidification system can include a heater base, a humidification chamber, and a breathing circuit. A cartridge can be removably coupled to the heater base. The cartridge can include various sensors, probes, sensor wire connectors, heater wire connectors, and/or other features. The cartridge can include features configured to mate with corresponding features on the humidification chamber and the heater base. The cartridge includes a memory, such as an EEPROM, or other suitable storage device. When the cartridge is installed on the heater base, the memory is electrically connected to a processor and/or memory of the heater base. Various models of cartridges can be produced for use with different humidification chambers, breathing circuits, and/or therapies. A connector can be configured to couple an inspiratory conduit to an outlet port of the humidification chamber. The connector can provide a pneumatic connection to the outlet port and an electrical connection to the cartridge.

  • Publication number: 20230227085
    Abstract: A wheel brake is disclosed to communicate with at least one wheel of a wheeled article (e.g., a wagon) to prevent the wheel from rotating and the wheeled article from rolling away. A toothed locking gear is attached to a hub of the wheel so that the wheel and the locking gear rotate together. A brake pedal of the wheel brake is pivotally connected to the wagon at a wheel bracket thereof to be rotatable in response to a pushing force applied thereto towards and into locking engagement with the locking gear. A coupler (e.g., a locking pin) of the brake pedal is received between a successive pair of teeth of the toothed locking gear, such that the locking gear and the wheel to which the locking gear is attached are unable to rotate, whereby the wheeled article is held in place.

  • Patent number: 11370467
    Abstract: Disclosed is a wagon adapted to be folded between an expanded open configuration and a compact collapsed configuration. A basket of the wagon is carried by a collapsible frame having height adjustment legs at the corners thereof. Height adjustment guides that stand upwardly from wheel brackets are slidable up and down through respective height adjustment legs such that the elevation of the frame and the basket carried thereby can be selectively changed. Rotatable handles are pivotally attached to the wagon at the front and the rear of the wagon frame. Telescoping canopy support assemblies are removably received downwardly within and upwardly from respective ones of the height adjustment guides to hold a removable canopy over the wagon basket. A collapsible wagon frame support has a set of rotatable frame reinforcing rods pivotally and detachably connected by ball and socket couplings to the bottom of the wagon frame at the corners thereof.
