| 20090016101 | Reading Technique for Memory Cell With Electrically Floating Body Transistor - A semiconductor device along with circuits including the same and methods of operating the same are described. The device comprises a memory cell consisting essentially of one transistor. The transistor comprises a gate, an electrically floating body region, and a source region and a drain region adjacent the body region. The device includes data sense circuitry coupled to the memory cell. The data sense circuitry comprises a word line coupled to the gate region and a bit output coupled to the source region or the drain region. | 01-15-2009 |

| 20100037895 | DETERMINING SUITABLE VENTILATOR SETTINGS FOR PATIENTS WITH ALVEOLAR HYPOVENTILATION DURING SLEEP - A method and apparatus for determining suitable settings for a servo-ventilator to be used during sleep. Respiratory characteristics of a patient are measured during an awake learning period. With these measured characteristics, a target ventilation setting may be calculated by alternative methods. The calculated setting may then be used for enforcing a minimum ventilation during a treatment period where ventilatory support is provided with a servo-controlled ventilator. | 02-18-2010 |

| 20100236556 | VENTILATOR PATIENT SYNCHRONIZATION - A method and apparatus that provides an expert system for determining respiratory phase during ventilatory support of a subject. Discrete phase states are partitioned and prior probability functions and observed probability functions for each state are defined. The probability functions are based upon relative duration of each state as well as the flow characteristics of each state. These functions are combined to determine phase probabilities for each state using Bayes' theorem. The calculated probabilities for the states may then be compared to determine which state the subject is experiencing. A ventilator may then conform respiratory support in accordance with the most probable phase. To provide a learning feature, the probability functions may be adjusted during use to provide a more subject specific response that accounts for changing respiratory characteristics. | 09-23-2010 |

| 20080283060 | Methods and Apparatus with Improved Ventilatory Support Cycling - A ventilator that delivers air at different pressures to a patient during inspiratory and expiratory cycles of breathing and that cycles from inspiratory to expiratory operation when the patient's respiratory flow passes a threshold level. The threshold generally increases from the beginning of inspiration to the end of inspiration. The increase can be linear over all or only a portion of the inspiratory cycle, and the threshold can be adjusted so that cycling is prevented during the initial portion of an inspiratory cycle. The minimum and maximum levels may both be functions of peak flow and the threshold may increase as a function of elapsed inspiratory time. The rate at which the threshold increases from a minimum level to a maximum level may be adjustable for individual patient needs and may be determined from previous breaths. | 11-20-2008 |
| 20090020121 | METHODS FOR PROVIDING EXPIRATORY PRESSURE RELIEF IN POSITIVE AIRWAY PRESSURE THERAPY - A method of operating a CPAP apparatus in which the interface pressure is controlled to rapidly drop at the start of expiration by an expiratory relief pressure (ERP) that is independent of instantaneous respiratory flow, following which the pressure rises to an inspiratory level at or shortly before the end of expiration, or at the onset of an expiratory pause, if any. The ERP is an increasing function of the inspiratory pressure. The expiratory pressure follows a template that is a function of the expected expiration time, the magnitude of the template being equal to the ERP. The current estimated proportion of expiration is determined by comparing the expiration time of the breath in progress to low-pass filtered expiratory durations measured for a number of the preceding breaths. | 01-22-2009 |

| 20100101574 | DETERMINATION OF LEAK DURING CPAP TREATMENT - In a CPAP or positive pressure ventilation system, leak is determined at each instant by a lookback for a time as long as single breath to establish the start of an averaging window over which low-pass filtered values used in the determination of a parameter of a leak model are averaged. A jamming index indicates whether the leak is rapidly changing. To the extent that jamming is high, the leak estimate used progressively changes from that using sliding breath-window averaging to a more robust and faster responding low-pass filter method, and adjustment of ventilatory support based on measures employing estimated respiratory flow is slowed down or stopped. | 04-29-2010 |

| 20080201611 | Defect Resolution Methodology Target Assessment Process - Embodiments of the invention are generally related to computer systems, and more specifically to the analysis of defects in computer software products. Defects uncovered during software testing may be stored in a data structure as data defects, code defects, or environment defects, along with further data describing a particular nature of the defects. The defects may be analyzed to determine a particular problem area causing the defects. If a particular class of defects is determined to be the dominant class of defects encountered during testing, an analysis path of that class of defects may be followed to determine a cause for the defects in the respective class. Therefore, corrective measures tailored to resolving the defects associated with the determined cause may be taken. | 08-21-2008 |
| 20080201612 | Defect Resolution Methodology and Data Defects Quality/Risk Metric Model Extension - Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture for analyzing defects associated with a software development project. Descriptions of defects identified during the testing of a software product may be stored in a data structure. One or more of the defects may be identified as data defects. If data defects are determined to be the dominant class of defects in the data structure, the data defects may be analyzed to determine a cause for one or more data defects. For example, the focus areas affected by the defects, the trends over time of the defects, the particular types of the data defects, the stability of the system, etc. may be analyzed to determine a cause for the data defects. Therefore, corrective measures may be taken based on the identified cause of the one or more data defects. | 08-21-2008 |
