  • Patent number: 8202215
    Abstract: A pharyngeal intubation guiding device includes lengthwise extending tongue-side and palate-side walls that cooperatively define a guiding duct. The tongue-side wall is configured to conform to the rear end of a patient's tongue to permit the guiding duct to confront the opening of the patient's larynx. The palate-side wall has an outer contour which establishes a guideway towards the opening of the patient's esophagus. A lengthwise extending laryngoscope guiding channel and a lengthwise extending endotracheal tube guiding groove are disposed in the guiding duct. A viewing window is disposed to define a terminal end of the laryngoscope guiding channel. The endotracheal tube guiding groove has a lead-in port to permit an endotracheal tube introduced therein to be removable laterally. A lengthwise extending conduit is disposed in the guiding duct to permit an aspirator tube to reach the patient's trachea to suck out phlegm.

  • Publication number: 20110010512
    Abstract: A method for controlling a storage system and the storage system using this method are disclosed. In the storage system, at least two memory units share an I/O bus. The shared I/O bus transfers information for each memory unit to execute an operation. The operation has at least one high priority cycle and at least one low priority cycle. When a low priority cycle is overlapped with a high priority cycle, the low priority cycle is suspended, and the high priority cycle is operated first. After the high priority cycle is finished, the suspended low priority cycle is then resumed. By doing so, the shared I/O bus may be used by one memory unit during a busy cycle for another memory unit, during which the latter memory unit does not use the I/O bus. Therefore, the I/O bus can be more efficiently used.
