  • Patent number: 12350183
    Abstract: A nasal dilator includes a first leg and a second leg. The second leg is movable relative to the first leg between a first position and a second position. The second leg is arranged at an angle relative to the first leg in both the first position and the second position. A first support member extends from the first leg such that a first clearance configured to receive a first nostril ala is formed between the first leg and the first support member. A second support member extends from the second leg such that a second clearance configured to receive a second nostril ala is formed between the second leg and the second support member. An adjustment mechanism is operable to move the second leg between the first position and the second position.

  • Patent number: 11672688
    Abstract: A nasal dilator includes a first leg and a second leg insertable into a pair of respective nasal openings. The first leg and the second leg are separated by a clearance. A connecting member extends between the first leg and the second leg and an adjustment mechanism is operably coupled to both the first leg and the second leg. The adjustment mechanism includes a tension shaft that is rotatable about an axis to vary the clearance.

  • Publication number: 20180251231
    Abstract: A sensor system runs real-time software on the processor to receive and log temperature and humidity data from the sensors. A processor processes the data, reformats, if necessary, the data packaged with GPS information provided by the centralized sensor control system, transmits the packaged data (including error checking) to a designated receiver, and provides a diagnostic interface for displaying logged data and status information. This data is time stamped and transmitted to the centralized sensor control system across the external control/data interface.
