Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080276937MASK ASSEMBLY - A mask assembly adapted for use with a positive airway pressure device, includes a mask frame, an elbow assembly provided to the frame, a cushion provided to the frame, a forehead support assembly, and a neck to connect the frame to the forehead support assembly, wherein the neck includes a pair of side walls having a streamlined design that is made to look sleek and reduce or minimize obtrusiveness. The pair of side walls may take the form of a single wall or more than two walls. The mask frame may include a recessed port structure including at least one port having access to an interior of the frame which at least in part with the cushion defines a breathing chamber in communication with a nasal passage of the patient in use. The mask frame may also include a channel to receive the cushion. The channel is formed by an outer wall and an inner wall and the channel includes an inner surface having a bead to engage with an outer surface of an edge of the cushion. The forehead support assembly includes a forehead support and a forehead pad coupled to the forehead support. The elbow assembly includes an elbow connectable to the mask frame. A cover is releasably connectable to the elbow. The cover includes a venting area including a plurality of vent holes.11-13-2008

20110128051Programmable Clock Divider - In one or more embodiments, a programmable clock divider (PCD) can receive an input clock signal and a programmable number, and the PCD can produce a divided clock signal based on the programmable number. First and second circuits can compare first and second numbers, respectively, with a count value from a counter to generate first and second signals, respectively. A multiplexer can receive the first and second signals at inputs and can receive the clock signal at a selection input. The multiplexer can output an output signal, as a divided clock signal, based on the clock signal, the first signal, and the second signal, where the output signal transitions from a first value to a second value on at least one of a first edge of the first clock signal to output the first signal and a second edge of the first clock signal to output the second signal.06-02-2011

20110256726PLASMA ACTIVATED CONFORMAL FILM DEPOSITION - Methods of depositing a film on a substrate surface include surface mediated reactions in which a film is grown over one or more cycles of reactant adsorption and reaction. In one aspect, the method is characterized by the following operations: (a) exposing the substrate surface to a first reactant in vapor phase under conditions allowing the first reactant to adsorb onto the substrate surface; (b) exposing the substrate surface to a second reactant in vapor phase while the first reactant is adsorbed on the substrate surface; and (c) exposing the substrate surface to plasma to drive a reaction between the first and second reactants adsorbed on the substrate surface to form the film.10-20-2011
20110256734SILICON NITRIDE FILMS AND METHODS - Described are methods of making SiN materials on substrates, particularly SiN thin films on semiconductor substrates. Improved SiN films made by the methods are also included.10-20-2011
