  • Patent number: 11951259
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11533118
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 8121303
    Abstract: A stethoscope capable of eliminating unwanted sounds and method thereof, the stethoscope and method thereof mainly use a stethoscope head containing a sensor and a signal processing circuit. By way of detecting and judging whether the stethoscope head arrives on correct stethoscopic position by the sensor, unwanted sounds generating by frictions, translations, or collisions during the stethoscopic process can be effectively eliminated such that the stethoscopic quality can be improved. Thus, a doctor can use less time and spirit to make a correct diagnosis for a patient with least unwanted interference sounds.

  • Patent number: 6953046
    Abstract: 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.
