  • Patent number: 10456541
    Abstract: A respiration appliance, system, and method for supporting the airway of a subject as the subject breaths. The flow of gas from the lungs of the subject during exhalation is leveraged to provide support to the airway. In particular, a body that encloses one or more external orifices of the subject provides a resistance differential between inhaled gas flows and exhaled gas flows that supports the subject's airway.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20180117302
    Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to an electrode configured to provide electrical contact with skin of a subject. The electrode is a convertible electrode configured to function as a dry electrode and/or as a wet electrode according to the desired configuration. In a dry electrode configuration, the electrode includes a conductive portion, a receiving portion, and an electrical coupling. In a wet electrode configuration, the electrode includes conductive portion, receiving portion, a hydrogel material, and electrical coupling. The conductive portion is configured to receive and/or transmit electrical signals from and/or to the skin of the subject. The receiving portion is configured to receive the detachable hydrogel material. Without the hydrogel material, the electrode functions as a dry electrode. Responsive to the receiving portion receiving the detachable hydrogel material, the electrode functions as a wet electrode.
