Patent number: 10799662Abstract: A method of manufacturing a patient interface for sealed delivery of a flow of air at a continuously positive pressure with respect to ambient air pressure to an entrance to the patient's airways includes collecting anthropometric data of a patient's face. Anticipated considerations are identified from the collected anthropometric data during use of the patient interface. The collected anthropometric data is processed to provide a transformed data set based on the anticipated considerations, the transformed data set corresponding to at least one customised patient interface component. At least one patient interface component is modelled based on the transformed data set.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2015Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: ResMed Pty LtdInventors: Tzu-Chin Yu, Aaron Samuel Davidson, Robert Henry Frater, Benjamin Peter Johnston, Paul Jan Klasek, Robert Anthony Paterson, Quangang Yang, Gerard Michael Rummery, Priyanshu Gupta, Liam Holley, Gordon Joseph Malouf

Publication number: 20200306481Abstract: A headgear assembly includes a strap of a first flexible material with an elongate edge, and a second flexible material folded around and running along the elongate edge. The second flexible material may be an elastic material. The second flexible material may also cover an intersection or joint in the first flexible material such that the first flexible material may be made from two flexible materials layered together or joined end to end.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2020Publication date: October 1, 2020Inventors: Michiel KOOIJ, Rupert Christian Scheiner, Annie Yu, Tzu-Chin Yu, Kit Lun Yick, Yiu Wan Yip, Jessica Lea Dunn

Publication number: 20200237607Abstract: A compression garment for providing circulatory-related disorder therapy includes a skin contacting layer, a second layer, and one or more connectors. The second layer is coupled to the skin contacting layer such that the skin contacting layer and the second layer form one or more independent macro-chambers partitioned into a plurality of micro-chambers. Each of the plurality of micro-chambers is in direct fluid communication with at least one other of the plurality of micro-chambers. The connectors are disposed on the second layer and are configured to supply pressurized air directly into a corresponding one of the macro-chambers such that the pressurized air is delivered to the plurality of micro-chambers. The coupling includes a weld profile that defines the macro-chambers and micro-chambers. A pneumatic spine for a compression garment including a plurality of independent air chambers for implementing circulatory-related disorder therapy.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2020Publication date: July 30, 2020Inventors: Dinesh RAMANAN, Blythe Guy REES-JONES, Tzu-Chin Yu, Matthew John BACKLER, Francis Eric SAUNDERS

Publication number: 20200215359Abstract: A personal entertainment respiratory apparatus provides air to a user to provide a fully immersive entertainment experience. The personal entertainment system may comprise a flow generator for providing the flow of air. A personal spatial respiratory interface may be coupled to the flow generator. The personal spatial respiratory interface may comprise an outlet for the flow generator. The personal spatial respiratory interface may further be configured to direct the flow of air within an ambient breathing proximity of a user. The personal entertainment respiratory apparatus may further comprise a controller and a sensory particle dispenser. The controller and sensory particle dispenser may be configured to selectively activate release of a sensory particle from the dispenser into the directed flow of air in response to an entertainment triggering signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2020Publication date: July 9, 2020Applicant: ResMed Pty LtdInventors: Tzu-Chin YU, Emma Anne CONNELL, David CREUSOT, Donald DARKIN, Barton John KENYON, Paul Jan KLASEK, Andrew SIMS, Quangang YANG, Phillip Rodney KWOK

Publication number: 20200113773Abstract: A garment for providing circulatory system disorder therapy includes a skin contacting layer, a backing layer, and a coupling. The backing layer is coupled to the skin contacting layer such that the skin contacting layer and the backing layer form a plurality of macro-chambers. A first one of the plurality of macro-chambers is partitioned into a plurality of micro-chambers. Each of the plurality of micro-chambers is in direct fluid communication with at least one other of the plurality of micro-chambers. The coupling is coupled to the backing layer and is configured to supply pressurized air directly into the first macro-chamber such that the pressurized air is delivered to a first one of the plurality of micro-chambers of the first macro-chamber.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2019Publication date: April 16, 2020Inventors: Dinesh RAMANAN, Jose Ricardo DOS SANTOS, Blythe Guy REES-JONES, Tzu-Chin YU, Matthew John BACKLER

Publication number: 20190167934Abstract: Systems and methods permit generation of a digital scan of a user's face such as for obtaining of a patient respiratory mask, or component(s) thereof, based on the digital scan. The method may include: receiving video data comprising a plurality of video frames of the user's face taken from a plurality of angles relative to the user's face, generating a three-dimensional representation of a surface of the user's face based on the plurality of video frames, receiving scale estimation data associated with the received video data, the scale estimation data indicative of a relative size of the user's face, and scaling the digital three-dimensional representation of the user's face based on the scale estimation data. In some aspects, the scale estimation data may be derived from motion information collected by the same device that collects the scan of the user's face.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2018Publication date: June 6, 2019Applicant: RESMED LIMITEDInventors: Simon Michael LUCEY, Benjamin Peter Johnston, Priyanshu Gupta, Tzu-Chin Yu
