| 20090112299 | Direct heating facemask - The purpose of this invention is to provide a facemask designed to apply and maintain direct, constant heat in an evenly distributed fashion at a constant temperature of up to about 46° C. to the nasal cavity and surrounding sinuses, thereby creating a thermal environment within the nasal cavity and surrounding area that impedes HRV as well as other heat-labile microorganism replication in order to retard the progression and severity of the common cold and accelerate recovery therefrom. The facemask may include a flexible heating element attached to the inside of the facemask, also an inner lining of foam may be laid over the top of the flexible heating element for added support and insulation. The facemask is secured to the face, e.g. by an elastic strap that wraps around the head and is secured on both ends of the facemask. The heating element is powered by an external power source, e.g. a 9-volt battery, which is attached externally on the elastic strap to avoid interference with the user, and may include electromagnetic shielding to minimize any chance of possible exposure to radiofrequency emissions. | 04-30-2009 |

| 20090097780 | Garden debris collection device - This is the Garden Debris Collection Device. It allows one person to fill a large plastic bag, unassisted, even in windy conditions. It consists of a large cylinder or other suitable shape into which a bag with a larger diameter than the cylinder is inserted and fastened about the rim. The bag inside the cylinder is filled with debris. The cylinder and bag are then lifted allowing the debris to settle. The now empty cylinder sits on the bag's bottom which has been expanded by the debris. Repeat until the bag is full. The Garden Debris Collection Device is fundamentally different from other bag filling devices. The collection bag itself controls the volume of material contained, not a device inserted into the bag, nor a device surrounding the bag. Garden Debris Collection Device controls the bag and allows it to be filled and ready to secure by conventional means. | 04-16-2009 |

| 20100005585 | PATIENT LIFT WITH HANGER BAR ATTACHMENT - According to one embodiment of the present invention, a patient lift apparatus is provided that includes a hanger bar attachment bumper that comprises a soft material so as to provide a soft impact surface on the patient lift apparatus, the hanger bar attachment comprising a first and second housing adapted to be selectively connected to one another. According to another embodiment of the present invention a patient lift apparatus is provided that includes a hanger bar attachment bumper that comprises a soft material so as to provide a soft impact surface on the patient lift apparatus, the hanger bar attachment bumper comprising a first and second housing adapted to be selectively connected to one another, wherein the hanger bar attachment bumper comprises a surface area and wherein the first housing makes up a larger portion of the surface area of the hanger bar attachment bumper than the second housing. | 01-14-2010 |
| 20100031439 | PATIENT LIFT WITH ADJUSTABLE KNEE PADS AND SLING HOOKS - An apparatus is provided for lifting and transporting patients. The apparatus may include a base frame, a central frame, a knee pad, and a boom configured to pivot relative to the central frame. The knee pad may have a guide and a rail configured to travel within the guide to allow positioning and adjustment of the knee pad relative to the central frame. The guide may be configured to selectively secure the rail at any location within an adjustment range of the knee pad. The boom may have at least one hook portion for attachment of a device for holding the patient during lifting. The hook portion may include a hook formed from a curved portion of a central member and a clip attached to the curved portion and movable between a closed position and an open position. | 02-11-2010 |

| 20090112151 | DIALYSIS SYSTEM HAVING INTEGRATED PNEUMATIC MANIFOLD - A dialysis machine valve manifold assembly includes a plurality of pneumatic valves; a plate including a first side and a second side, the plurality of pneumatic valves mounted to the first side of the plate, the second side of the plate defining a plurality of pneumatic flow paths; and a port header mounted removably to the plate, the port header including a plurality of ports configured to connect sealingly to pneumatic tubing, the ports in fluid communication with the pneumatic valves via the pneumatic flow paths defined in the plate. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20090275883 | SMART PATIENT TRANSFER SET FOR PERITONEAL DIALYSIS - A peritoneal dialysis system includes: a dialysis fluid container associated with an identifier; a reader for reading the identifier; a signal transmitter for communicating data based on the identifier; and a patient transfer set for semi-permanent connection to a patient, the patient transfer set including: (i) a signal receiver for receiving the data sent by the signal transmitter, (ii) an output device for communicating with the patient, and (iii) electronics configured to received the data and command the output device to communicate with the patient accordingly. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20110163033 | NOISE-REDUCING DIALYSIS SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF REDUCING NOISE IN DIALYSIS SYSTEMS - A dialysis system includes at least one pneumatic valve, a pneumatic pump in fluid communication with the pneumatic valve, a pneumatic line communicating with an inlet and an outlet of the pneumatic pump, a flow restrictor placed in the pneumatic line, and a logic implementer. The logic implementer is programmed to operate the pneumatic valve to either (i) communicate the pneumatic outlet with the pneumatic inlet of the pneumatic pump through the flow restrictor and the pneumatic line, or (ii) communicate the outlet of the pneumatic pump with a component of the dialysis system. | 07-07-2011 |

| 20100198138 | TRANSFER SETS FOR THERAPY OPTIMIZATION - Transfer sets are disclosed in the present patent. The transfer set provides a connection between a source of peritoneal dialysis fluid and a patient for whom peritoneal dialysis has been prescribed. The transfer sets disclosed herein are smaller and provide a more compact and convenient device by which a dialysis patient controls the flow of dialysis fluid to and from the peritoneum of the patient. The devices are more compact and convenient because they include more convenient mechanisms for starting and stopping flow of the dialysis fluid. It is also easy to determine whether the mechanism is in a closed or open configuration by simply looking at the mechanism. | 08-05-2010 |
