20140036441 | Dynamic Compensation of Airflow in Electronics Enclosures with Failed Fans - An approach is provided in which a cooling manager detects a failed fan included in an electronic enclosure. The electronic enclosure includes multiple fans that each cool different component areas in the electronic enclosure. The cooling manager selects an airflow compensator that corresponds to a functioning fan included in the electronic enclosure, which includes a fixed perforated member and a movable perforated member. In turn, the cooling manager adjusts the selected airflow compensator to redirect a portion of airflow generated by the functioning fan to the component area corresponding to the failed fan. | 02-06-2014 |

20080230059 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A COLLAPSIBLE RESERVOIR WITH AN AUXILLARY FLUID CHANNEL - A collapsible reservoir system is disclosed herein. The collapsible reservoir system includes a first tube pneumatically connected to the collapsible reservoir, and a second tube pneumatically connected to the collapsible reservoir. The second tube is configured to generally remain open in the absence of an externally applied compressive force. The second tube is positioned relative to the collapsible reservoir such that a compressive force applied to the collapsible reservoir can also compress and thereby restrict the second tube. A corresponding method for controlling the pressure of a collapsible reservoir system is also provided. | 09-25-2008 |

20120145261 | PNEUMATIC VIBRATION DAMPENING DEVICE - A gas flow valve having pneumatic vibration dampening device to reduce the vibrations created by the flow of gas through the gas valve. The gas valve includes a gas flow conduit that terminates at a discharge opening. A valve member is movably positioned relative to the discharge opening and allows gas flow in a flow condition and prevents the flow of gas in a seated position. The valve member includes a gas passage formed within the valve member. At least one flexible membrane is mounted to the valve member and surrounds an outlet opening of the gas passage. The flexible membrane is inflated as the flow of gas within the gas flow conduit increases such that the flexible membrane contacts an inner surface of a stabilizing conduit. The interaction between the flexible membrane and the stabilizing conduit reduces the vibrations created by the flow of gas past the valve member. | 06-14-2012 |

20100037896 | AUTOMATIC VENTILATOR SYSTEM AND METHOD - A ventilator system is disclosed herein. The ventilator system includes a collapsible reservoir assembly comprising an outer reservoir and an inner reservoir disposed at least partially within the outer reservoir. The ventilator system also includes a source of gas pneumatically coupled with the outer reservoir, and a controller operatively connected to the source of gas. The controller is configured to regulate the transmission of gas from the source of gas to the outer reservoir in order to compress the inner reservoir and thereby automatically transfer the contents of the inner reservoir. | 02-18-2010 |
20100186745 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A FLOW SENSOR - A flow sensor for a medical ventilator system is disclosed herein. The flow sensor includes a valve assembly having a valve seat, and a valve flap attached to the valve seat. The valve flap is composed of an elastomeric material configured to generate a pre-load that biases the valve flap into engagement with the valve seat such that the valve assembly remains closed in the absence of an externally applied force. The flow sensor also includes a pressure transducer configure to measure a first pressure level at an upstream position relative to the valve assembly, and a second pressure level at a downstream position relative the valve assembly. The flow sensor also includes a processor configured to estimate the flow rate of a fluid passing through a medical ventilator system based on the first and second pressure levels. | 07-29-2010 |

20110315139 | AUTOMATIC FRESH GAS CONTROL SYSTEM - An anesthesia system is disclosed herein. The anesthesia system includes a pneumatic circuit comprising an inspiratory limb, an expiratory limb, and a sensor. The anesthesia system also includes an anesthesia machine comprising a controller. The controller is operatively connected to the sensor, and is configured to identify a respiratory phase of the patient based on feedback from the sensor. The controller is further configured to regulate the flow rate of a fresh gas in response to the identified respiratory phase. | 12-29-2011 |
20120060835 | ANESTHESIA SYSTEM AND METHOD - An anesthesia system is disclosed herein, The anesthesia system may include a pneumatic circuit comprising an inspiratory limb, an expiratory limb, and an endotracheal tube. The endotracheal tube may be configured to form a pneumatic coupling between a patient, the inspiratory limb and the expiratory limb. The anesthesia system may also include an anesthesia machine connected to the pneumatic circuit. The anesthesia machine may include a controller configured to identify the presence of a leak in the pneumatic coupling. | 03-15-2012 |
20120161432 | PNEUMATIC CONNECTOR DEVICE - A connector device to attach a pneumatic circuit tube to a first and second end fitting of a pneumatic system is provided. The device comprises a first connecting structure that positively attaches to pneumatic circuit tube to the first end fitting of the pneumatic system, and a second connecting structure that positively attaches to the pneumatic circuit tube to the second end fitting of the pneumatic system. A pull arm connects between the first connecting structure to the second connecting structure, and transmits a single application of force on the pull arm to release both the first connecting structure from attachment at the first end fitting and the second connecting structure from attachment at the second end fitting. | 06-28-2012 |
20130019867 | ANESTHESIA MACHINE AND SYSTEM - An anesthesia machine is disclosed herein in accordance with an embodiment. The anesthesia machine may include a gas mixer, and an anesthesia machine connector pneumatically coupled with the gas mixer. The anesthesia machine connector may be adapted to selectively receive a pneumatic circuit. The anesthesia machine may be operable in a first mode when the pneumatic circuit is decoupled from the anesthesia machine connector. The first mode may comprise the transfer of a gas from the gas mixer to a first destination. The anesthesia machine may be automatically converted to a second mode when the pneumatic circuit is coupled with the anesthesia machine connector. The second mode may comprise the transfer of the gas from the gas mixer to a second destination. | 01-24-2013 |
