| 20080202512 | Respiratory gas hose system for supplying a respiratory gas - A flexible respiratory gas tube arrangement for supplying a respiratory gas to a person includes a flexible tube, a heater to heat the gas as it is delivered through the tube, a first connector provided to one end of the tube and adapted to connect the tube with a breathing mask, and a second connector provided to the other end of the tube and adapted to connect the tube with a CPAP device. The second connector includes a first portion that provides a respiratory gas passage and a second portion that provides integrated contact elements by which power is supplied to the heater. The contact elements are adapted to be engaged with a power supply provided on the CPAP device for supplying power to said heater. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20100000534 | PATIENT INTERFACE SYSTEMS - A patient interface system for delivering a flow of breathable gas to a patient includes a patient interface structure configured to sealingly engage the patient's nares; a pair of strips configured to be connected to opposite sides of the patient interface structure; and adhesive configured to secure the patient interface structure in sealing engagement with the patient's nares. The adhesive may be provided on the strips, and the strips are configured to be adhered to sides of the patient's nose by the adhesive. Another patient interface system includes a first component including adhesive on a first side and hook or loop fastener material on a second side, wherein the adhesive is configured to adhere the component to the face of the patient; and a patient interface structure configured to sealingly engage the patient's airways. The patient interface structure includes a second component including a corresponding loop or hook fastener material configured to engage the corresponding hook or loop fastener material of the first strip to secure the patient interface structure in sealing engagement with the patient's face. A patient interface system for delivering a flow of breathable gas to a patient includes a patient interface structure including a pair of nasal prongs or pillows configured to sealingly engage the patient's nares; and at least one spring configured to bias the nasal prongs or pillows outwards into engagement with the nares of the patient. | 01-07-2010 |

| 20090101241 | ACTUATION VIA SURFACE CHEMISTRY INDUCED SURFACE STRESS - A method of controlling macroscopic strain of a porous structure includes contacting a porous structure with a modifying agent which chemically adsorbs to a surface of the porous structure and modifies an existing surface stress of the porous structure. A device in one embodiment includes a porous metal structure, which when contacted with a modifying agent which chemically adsorbs to a surface of the porous metal structure, exhibits a volumetric change due to modification of an existing surface stress of the porous metal structure; and a mechanism for detecting the volumetric change. Additional methods and systems are also presented. | 04-23-2009 |
| 20090291848 | Method for forming gold-containing catalyst with porous structure - The invention relates to a gold-containing catalyst with porous structure that is obtainable through a process that comprises the following steps: melting together of gold and at least one less noble metal that is selected from the group consisting of silver, copper, rhodium, palladium, and platinum, and at least partial removal by dissolving the at least one less noble metal out of the starting alloy thus obtained. The catalyst has high activity and great long-term stability, despite the fact that it does not contain a support material or a compound that serves as a support material. The catalyst can be used to accelerate and/or to influence the product selectivity of oxidation and reduction reactions. The catalyst is suitable, for example, for the oxidization of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide, which makes it usable, among other things, in a fuel cell, in particular a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEM), for protection of the anode catalyst against blocking by carbon monoxide. | 11-26-2009 |
| 20100230298 | NANOPOROUS CARBON ACTUATOR AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF - An electrochemically driveable actuator according to one embodiment includes a nanoporous carbon aerogel composition capable of exhibiting charge-induced reversible strain when wetted by an electrolyte and a voltage is applied thereto. An electrochemically driven actuator according to another embodiment includes a nanoporous carbon aerogel composition wetted by an electrolyte; and a mechanism for causing charge-induced reversible strain of the composition. A method for electrochemically actuating an object according to one embodiment includes causing charge-induced reversible strain of a nanoporous carbon aerogel composition wetted with an electrolyte to actuate the object by the strain. | 09-16-2010 |
