Patent number: 11951259Abstract: Disclosed herein are novel designs of a medical tube for delivering a respiratory gas to a subject in respiratory therapy, wherein the medical tube is in fluid connection with a user interface and a respiratory device. The medical tube has a tubular body, a first rib helically extending along the outer surface of the tubular body, and optionally, a second rib disposed next to the first rib, and optionally, a membrane encapsulating the first and/or second ribs thereby creating a helical space along the outer surface of the tubular body. In some embodiments, the first rib has a lumen and at least one wire disposed outside the lumen. In other embodiments, the first rib is free of any lumen and includes one or more wires extended therethrough. The lumen of the first rib or the helical space created by membrane encapsulation is configured to monitor the temperature, humidity, flow rate or pressure of the respiratory gas or an exhaled/inhaled gas of a subject.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: FOXXMED LTD.Inventors: Jeng-Yu Chou, Yung-Yang Shih, Wen-Hsien Liu

Patent number: 11533118Abstract: Various examples with respect to synchronization signal block (SSB) raster shift in mobile communications are described. A processor of a user equipment (UE) performs an initial cell search to identify a cell among one or more cells of a wireless communication system. The processor then camps on the identified cell. In performing the initial cell search, the processor scans through a plurality of SSB entries for frequency bands below 3 GHz with a SSB raster spacing and a SSB raster offset frequency that support sub-carrier spacing (SCS) spaced channel raster and 100 kHz channel raster for both 15 kHz SCS and 30 kHz SCS. A minimum channel bandwidth at 5 MHz or higher for 15 kHz SCS or at 10 MHz or higher for 30 kHz SCS is supported. The SSB raster spacing is a common multiple of 15 kHz and 100 kHz. The SSB raster offset frequency for 100 kHz channel raster is a multiple of 30 kHz plus/minus 10 kHz.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2020Date of Patent: December 20, 2022Inventors: Mingchun Chiang, Fucheng Wang, Tsang-Wei Yu, Jun Ma, Tao Chen, Wen Yang Chou

Patent number: 6953046Abstract: A microprocessor-based gas meter has fully electronic control, safety cutoff and data communication functions, while remains the same size of a conventional gas meter. The control circuit board in the microprocessor-based gas meter is mounted inside the main body of the gas meter through a mounting slot. The sensors, wires and battery are located in the rest space of the chamber so as to utilize the space of the chamber. When an abnormal situation is detected, the control circuit activates a cutoff valve and shuts off the gas intake. The data communication function is to transfer gas-metering data through telephone lines to the gas company so that the mistakes and cost of manual checking and recording can be eliminated.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2003Date of Patent: October 11, 2005Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Shiang-Fu Chen, Tzong-Sheng Lee, Chao-Wei Yeh, Chi-Fu Hung, Wen-Yang Chou, Hsiao-Lung Ning, Shih-Chi Kuo
