20100280436 | Apparatus and Method for Reducing Contamination of Surgical Sites - Apparatus and methods for protecting a patient from surgical site infection from airborne microbes during surgery. A sterile gas flow conditioning emitter for affixation onto an anatomical surface of a patient adjacent a site of incision is anatomically shape conforming for attaching a unidirectional coherent non-turbulent flow field of sterile gas substantially anatomically levelly on that anatomical surface and flowing the flow field in the direction of that site while essentially preventing ambient airborne particles from entering the interior of the flow field under the emitter to maintain the gas essentially sterile during passage over the site. | 11-04-2010 |

20100056975 | BLOOD LINE CONNECTOR FOR A MEDICAL INFUSION DEVICE - A blood line connector for a blood circuit of a hemodialysis unit with an ability to make two different types of fluid tight connections, e.g., a screw-type connection with a luer connector at a patient access and a press-in type connection with a dialysate circuit. The blood line connector may include a tube connection end arranged to sealingly engage with a blood circuit tube, and a patient access connection end with a frustoconical member having an internally threaded portion arranged to engage with an externally threaded patient access, and a pair of locking arms extending rearwardly from the frustoconical member. The locking arms may each have a finger depression portion and a barbed portion, and may be arranged to engage with a mating connector on the dialysis unit at the barbed portions to lock the frustoconical member in sealing engagement with the mating connector when making a press-in type connection. | 03-04-2010 |

20090049845 | MEDICAL TRAVEL PACK WITH COOLING SYSTEM - The present invention provides a device for keeping medical materials, such as medicine, cool. The device allows for easy transportation provided infrequent access to electricity. The device incorporates a thermoelectric cooler (TEC) inside an insulated container. The TEC is in contact with a freezable material which is frozen when the TEC is electrically powered. Upon disconnect from electrical power, the freezable material provides passive cooling inside the container while the medical material is transported. This portable device helps patients to travel with their medicines confidently and safely. | 02-26-2009 |

20160095782 | SELF-CONTAINED PORTABLE POSITIONABLE OSCILLATING MOTOR ARRAY INCLUDING DISPOSABLE AND/OR RECYCLABLE PORTIONS - In some embodiments, a system and/or method may include an inner wearable harness worn, during use, on a torso of a subject which includes a flexible vest. The system may include a plurality of engines, each of which are contained in a flexible container, which when activated apply an oscillation force. The system may include a positioning system which allows positioning the flexible container such that the oscillation force is applied to at least one treatment area of the subject. The oscillation force may mobilize, during use, at least some secretions in an airway within the subject substantially adjacent the treatment area. The system may include an outer harness worn, during use, on a torso of a subject. The outer wearable harness, when activated, adjusts the oscillation force applied by at least some of the activated plurality of engines to the treatment area by providing a compressive force. | 04-07-2016 |
20160095783 | SELF-CONTAINED PORTABLE POSITIONABLE OSCILLATING MOTOR ARRAY INCLUDING AN OUTER HARNESS PROVIDING A COMPRESSIVE FORCE - In some embodiments, a system may include a first wearable harness worn, during use, on a torso of a subject. The system may include a second wearable harness worn, during use, on a torso of a subject on an outer surface of the first wearable harness. The system may include a plurality of engines which when activated apply an oscillation force to at least one treatment area. At least one of the plurality of engines may be releasably couplable to the first wearable harness using a positioning system such that the oscillation force is applied to the treatment areas. The oscillation force may mobilize, during use, at least some secretions in an airway within the subject at least adjacent the treatment area. The second wearable harness, when activated, may provide a compressive force to at least some of the activated plurality of engines positioned above the treatment area. | 04-07-2016 |
20160095793 | METHOD OF CLEARING A BIOLOGICAL AIRWAY USING A SELF-CONTAINED PORTABLE POSITIONABLE OSCILLATING MOTOR ARRAY - In some embodiments, a method may include clearing a biological airway. The method may include positioning an inner wearable harness on a torso of a subject. The method may include selectively positioning at least some of a plurality of engines on and/or adjacent at least one treatment area. At least one of the plurality of engines may be releasably couplable to the inner wearable harness. The method may include positioning an outer wearable harness on a torso of a subject. The method may include applying an oscillation force to at least one of the treatment areas using at least some of the plurality of engines. The method may include adjusting the applied oscillation force to the treatment area by activating the outer wearable harness. The method may include mobilizing at least some secretions in an airway within the subject substantially adjacent the at least one treatment area. | 04-07-2016 |

20090125828 | Automatic Creation of Data Relationships - The disclosed implementations allow automatic and transparent creation of data relationships in a database application or other application in response to user generated trigger events. Related data records can be stored and displayed in layouts, screens, forms and user interfaces provided by the database application or other application. Additional or extended information corresponding to the related data can be stored and displayed. | 05-14-2009 |
20090125830 | Compound Fields - A compound field is automatically created in response to a trigger event. In one aspect, a user selects a field type and a compound field associated with the field type is automatically created. A compound field can be manipulated and presented as a single conceptual unit in a user interface (e.g., a form, screen or layout) of an application (e.g., a database application). When an object representing the compound field is dragged and dropped or otherwise selected in the user interface, the compound field is expanded to reveal one or more subfields capable of receiving data from a user. In another aspect, one or more background tables are automatically and transparently created to store compound field objects. In another aspect, a user can create their own compound field types. | 05-14-2009 |
