Publication number: 20240024603Abstract: A system for providing respiratory support to a subject includes a flow source for providing a gas at a selected flow rate, an invasive respiratory device couplable with an airway of the subject, and a connector for coupling with the invasive respiratory device. The connector includes a main body having a gases port for receiving a flow of gas from the flow source, an outlet port for outflow of gases from the main body, and a device port couplable with the invasive respiratory device. The gases port includes an inlet and an outlet. The connector is configured to receive the flow of gas from the flow source via the inlet of the gases port, and to deliver a jet flow of gas through the outlet of the gases port. The system may be configurable e.g. to generate a pressure of at least about 2 cmH2O about the device port when in use.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2021Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: Craig Karl WHITE, Thomas Heinrich BARNES, Bruce Gordon HOLYOAKE, Xavier Roy Wallace SANDER, Anthony Behram ZEMKE, Alicia Jerram Hunter EVANS, Matthew Jon PAYTON, Karan DEVA, Ivan Justus RADEMEYER

Patent number: 8763308Abstract: A structural door module for a motor vehicle door, comprising of a carrier plate with a plurality of door hardware components mounted to the dryside and wetside surfaces of the carrier plate. The carrier plate includes a number of preformed components that allow door subsystems to be pre-mounted to the door module and tested prior to mounting the structural door module in the motor vehicle door body. An energy absorbing area is molded into the carrier plate. Additionally, a protruding arm rest support is designed to collapse during a side-impact collision.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2011Date of Patent: July 1, 2014Assignee: Intier Automotive Closures Inc.Inventors: Pierre-Xavier Roy, Douglas G Broadhead, Ed Fortin, Traian Miu

Patent number: 8257624Abstract: A method for making a porous material, includes melt-blending two or more non-miscible polymers to obtain a co-continuous melt, solidifying the melt to obtain a solid mass consisting of two co-continuous polymer phases, and selectively extracting one of the co-continuous phases thereby creating within the solid mass an essentially continuous pore network having an internal surface. The method further includes replicating the internal surface of the pore network within the solid mass by coating the internal surface with successive layers of materials, and selectively extracting the solid mass without extracting the layers of materials, to thereby yield the product porous material, formed of the layers of materials. The material has a void fraction higher than about 75%, and mainly having essentially fully interconnected sheath-like non-spherical pores and essentially non-fibrous walls.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2006Date of Patent: September 4, 2012Inventors: Basil D. Favis, Pierre Sarazin, Xavier Roy

Patent number: 7628446Abstract: A rear frame assembly is provided for use in an automotive vehicle extending between upright side walls to define a trunk opening. The rear frame assembly includes a cross car beam extending laterally between the side walls of the vehicle. A sail panel is fixedly secured to the cross car beam. The sail panel includes symmetrically opposite flanges adapted to conform to the side walls of the vehicle to define a path for diverting a flow of water around the trunk opening. The sail panel includes a conically shaped concavity for engaging a conical protrusion on the vehicle for locating the rear frame assembly within the vehicle during installation of the rear frame assembly to the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2004Date of Patent: December 8, 2009Assignee: Intier Automotive Inc.Inventors: William J.
