20090192364 | Infant monitoring system - An infant monitoring system includes a bladder configured for communication with an infant having a mass and measurable biological functions and properties. The bladder contains a substantially non-toxic fluid adapted to transmit fluid pressure. The infant monitoring system also includes a single pressure sensor that selectively monitors the fluid pressure. The pressure sensor detects a presence of the infant by monitoring for a substantially continuous pressure due to the mass of the infant. The infant monitoring system also includes an electronic module operatively connected to the pressure sensor, which electronic module receives a signal indicative of the fluid pressure monitored by the pressure sensor. The electronic module emits a notification if the signal is substantially outside of a predetermined boundary. | 07-30-2009 |
20090205493 | Method of removing water from an inlet region of an oxygen generating system - A method of removing water from an inlet region of an oxygen generating system is disclosed herein. The method includes condensing, in an inlet region of the oxygen generating system, at least a portion of water vapor from a feed gas to water, and removing the water from the oxygen generating system prior to introducing the then-at least partially dehumidified feed gas to at least one sieve bed operatively disposed in the oxygen generating system. | 08-20-2009 |
20090214393 | Method of generating an oxygen-enriched gas for a user - A method of generating an oxygen-enriched gas for a user via an oxygen generating system is disclosed herein. The oxygen generating system includes at least one sieve bed having a nitrogen-adsorption material disposed therein, the nitrogen-adsorption material being configured to adsorb nitrogen from a feed gas introduced thereto, thereby generating the oxygen-enriched gas therefrom. The at least one sieve bed has an internal gas pressure within a volume defined by the at least one sieve bed. The method includes measuring the internal sieve bed pressure, measuring an ambient atmospheric parameter, and detecting inhalation of the user. The method further includes selectively controlling, substantially in real time, delivery of the oxygen-enriched gas to the user based on at least one of the internal sieve bed gas pressure measurement, the ambient atmospheric parameter measurement, the inhalation detection, or combinations thereof. | 08-27-2009 |

20130213234 | OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR SYSTEM - An oxygen concentrator system includes a portable unit and a base unit. The portable unit includes an air separation device. The base unit includes a vacuum pump. The portable unit is moveable with respect to the base unit between a connected position, in which the vacuum pump of the base unit is connected to the air separation device of the portable unit for applying vacuum pressure at the air separation device of the portable unit, and a disconnected position, in which the vacuum pump is not connected to the air separation device of the portable unit. The air separation device operates using a vacuum pressure swing adsorption (VPSA) cycle when the portable unit is in the connected position. The air separation device operates using a pressure swing adsorption (PSA) cycle when the portable unit is in the disconnected position. | 08-22-2013 |

20110231196 | DUAL-MODE ENCODER, SYSTEM INCLUDING SAME, AND METHOD FOR GENERATING INFRA-RED SIGNALS - A dual-mode encoder. The encoder includes a logic device. The logic device includes a first input terminal for receiving a signal associated with an audio source, a second input terminal for receiving a mode instruction signal, and an output terminal for outputting an encoded signal. The logic device is configured to operate in a first mode by encoding the received associated signal according to a first protocol, and to operate in a second mode by encoding the received associated signal according to a second protocol. | 09-22-2011 |
20150089092 | FLEXIBLE MOBILE DEVICE CONNECTIVITY TO AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS WITH USB HUBS - A system which is configured to enable a vehicle's embedded USB Host system to connect to multiple mobile devices through a USB Hub, regardless of whether the mobile devices are configured to act as USB Hosts or USB Devices, without the need to add or provide OTG controllers in the system or additional vehicle wiring, or inhibiting the functionality of any consumer devices operating in USB Device mode connected to a vehicle system Hub while another consumer device connected to the same Hub operates in USB Host mode. Preferably, the system is configured to provide that no additional cabling is required, and no hardware changes are required to be made to the HU. The system can be employed between a vehicle's embedded USB Host, USB Hub and at least one consumer accessible USB port. In the case where the consumer device is acting as a USB Host, signals between the consumer device and the vehicle's embedded USB Host are processed through a bridge, thereby rendering the consumer device compatible with the vehicle's embedded USB Host. | 03-26-2015 |

20080214101 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR FM WIRELESS VEHICLE SYSTEM INTERFACE - A vehicle system interface comprises an antenna configured to receive a digital radio signal, a digital radio receiver circuit configured to receive the digital radio signal from the antenna and to obtain digital audio data from the digital radio signal, an FM modulator and transmitter circuit, and a microprocessor in operable communication with the digital radio receiver circuit and the FM modulator and transmitter circuit. The microprocessor is configured to generate a first message requesting a series of FM radio signal levels corresponding to a series of FM radio frequencies being received by an FM radio receiver. The microprocessor is configured to send the first message through an electrical connector to a control system in operable communication with the FM radio receiver. The microprocessor is configured to receive a second message from the control system through the electrical connector indicating the series of FM radio signal levels. The microprocessor is configured to select a suitable FM radio frequency from the series of FM radio frequencies based upon the corresponding series of FM radio signal levels. The microprocessor is configured to generate a third message instructing the control system to tune the FM radio receiver to the suitable FM radio frequency. The microprocessor is configured to send the third message through the electrical connector to the control system. The microprocessor is configured to transmit the digital audio data from the digital radio receiver circuit to the FM modulator and transmitter circuit. The microprocessor is configured to induce the FM modulator and transmitter circuit to broadcast the digital audio data in an FM radio signal over the suitable FM radio frequency. | 09-04-2008 |
