Publication number: 20230133378Abstract: A suction catheter holder is provided. The holder can include a housing that defines an interior open-space compartment for receiving at least a portion of a suction catheter. The housing can have an elongate structure defined by a longitudinal and lateral axis. The housing can include a base panel having a substantially flat exterior surface, and a plurality of sidewalls, each extending upward from the base to a roof panel having an interior surface that faces, at least in part, an interior surface of the base panel. The housing can include a front sidewall panel extending laterally along the front edges of the base and roof panels, between a pair of longitudinal sidewalls. The front sidewall panel can include an insertion through-hole for receiving the suction catheter and a securing through-hole for retaining the suction catheter in place.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2022Publication date: May 4, 2023Inventor: TOMAS A.

Publication number: 20230031533Abstract: An enteral feeding apparatus comprises a pod having an expansile pouch which defines a reservoir for enteral fluid and a gas impermeable barrier surrounding the pouch. The pod has an inlet port for delivery of enteral fluid into the pouch and an outlet port having a seal which is pierceable to release enteral fluid from the pouch for delivery to a PEG via a feeding line. The expansile pouch provides the sole force by which enteral fluid is delivered from the pouch through a regulator. The system can accommodate a range of enteral fluids with a wide range of viscosities.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2022Publication date: February 2, 2023Applicant: ROCKFIELD MEDICAL DEVICES LIMITEDInventors: Tomas Martin THOMPSON, Donal MAYNE, Damian KELLY

Patent number: 11464713Abstract: A docking station receives an enteral feeding pump or food pod into a cradle with a scales platform. The docking station is calibrated to determine nutritional data consumption and remaining available food on the basis of remaining food weight and nutritional data read from a tag using NFC. The station has a sealing sleeve with a sealing rim to confine any spillages in a manner which does not affect weight of the device on a weighting platform.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2017Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: ROCKFIELD MEDICAL DEVICES LIMITEDInventors: Tomas Martin Thompson, Donal Mayne, Damian Kelly

Patent number: 11318947Abstract: Techniques are described for estimating surface friction coefficients using lateral force excitations of one or more rear wheels of a rear wheel steering vehicle. In one example, a computing system is configured to cause excitation of a rear wheel using a lateral force that causes the rear wheel to initiate turning. The computing system may determine one or more slip angles that result from the excitation and determine a relationship between the lateral force and the slip angles. From the lateral force and slip angle relationship, the computing system may estimate the friction coefficient of a surface and may cause maneuvering of the rear wheel steering vehicle, or of another networked vehicle, to be based at least in part on the friction coefficient estimated for a particular driving surface.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2019Date of Patent: May 3, 2022Assignee: Volvo Car CorporationInventors: Tomas Martin Hassel, Derong Yang

Publication number: 20210228451Abstract: A portable enteral feeding apparatus includes a pouch which defines a reservoir for enteral fluid and having an outlet for delivery of enteral fluid from the pouch. An outlet spout has a pouch spigot connected to the pouch outlet and a connector spigot which is adapted for mounting of a connector shaft, in one case a cross fit shaft of an ENFit connector. A valve is mounted to the spout. The connector spigot has a mounting structure for mounting a connector shaft of a PEG feeding system to the connector spigot only when the connector shaft is extended through the valve. An interlock prevents fixing of a connector shaft to the connector spigot if the connector shaft is not extended through the valve.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2019Publication date: July 29, 2021Applicant: ROCKFIELD MEDICAL DEVICES LIMITEDInventors: Donal MAYNE, Tomas Martin THOMPSON, Damian KELLY
