20110111158 | Easy-Opening Paper Towel Product - A product, such as a roll of paper toweling, is wrapped in a polymeric film wrapper having a high degree of molecular orientation. The wrapper is provided with a small perforated starter tab, which a user can depress with their fingers or thumb to break the perforations. Upon breaking the perforations, the user can grasp the tab of the wrapper and thereafter open the package by pulling on the wrapper in the same direction as the molecular orientation direction of the wrapper. The high degree of molecular orientation allows the package to be cleanly torn open with very little effort. | 05-12-2011 |

20080295837 | METHOD TO LIMIT LEAK COMPENSATION BASED ON A BREATHING CIRCUIT LEAK ALARM - A method and system for ventilating a patient that compensates for leaks occurring within the patient breathing circuit while limiting the volume of breathing gas delivered to the patient. During the operation of a ventilator to supply breathing gases to a patient, the ventilator monitors for leak volumes occurring during the inspiratory phase and expiratory phase of the breathing cycle. Based upon the leak volumes sensed, the volume of breathing gas delivered by the ventilator is increased such that the tidal volume delivered to the patient is the desired tidal volume set by a clinician. The ventilator operates to generate a leak alarm when the leak volume exceeds an alarm threshold. If the leak alarm is generated, the tidal volume delivered to the patient is limited to the tidal volume being delivered prior to generation of the leak alarm. During compensation of the breathing gases delivered to the patient, the system and method determines whether the compensated tidal volume exceeds a maximum tidal volume threshold and limits the compensated tidal volume to the maximum tidal volume threshold. | 12-04-2008 |

20100076332 | EXPIRATORY FLOW SENSOR SYSTEM AND METHOD - An expiratory flow sensor system is disclosed herein. The expiratory flow sensor includes an expiratory channel adapted to transfer an expiratory gas, a fresh gas channel adapted to transfer a fresh gas, and a sensing element disposed within the fresh gas channel so that the sensing element is never directly exposed to the expiratory gas. The sensing element is configured to measure a fresh gas flow rate. The fresh gas flow rate may be implemented to estimate an expiratory flow rate in a manner that minimizes imprecision attributable to sensing element contamination. | 03-25-2010 |

20120135099 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RAPID MOLDING OF WIND TURBINE BLADES - A compliant cover is placed over a part being molded in a molding process. The compliant cover is formed from a plurality of longitudinal cells positioned next to one another. At least one communication port is coupled to each longitudinal cell, and a source of fluid media at a preselected temperature is coupled to the communication ports whereby the longitudinal cells may be filled with the fluid media at the preselected temperature. The compliant cover may thus be used to selectively heat and cool the part being molded to decrease the time required by the part to rise to the temperature required to cure the resin in the part and to cool the part so that it can be removed from the mold. | 05-31-2012 |
