Brian Andrew Hickle, Hendersonville, TN US

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090250675Vehicle Barrier - A vehicle barrier having an impact side, a reflection side opposite the impact side, and a plurality of interior walls extending between the impact side and the reflection side. The refection side, the impact side, and the plurality of interior walls are formed from vertically-oriented sheets of barrier material (when in the deployed configuration). Further, the refection side, the impact side, and the plurality of interior walls define multiple chambers. The chambers can be packed with fill material to stop an oncoming vehicle.10-08-2009

20100251581Device for Removing Wrinkles From the Sleeve of a Garment - A device for removing the wrinkles from the sleeve of a garment. A working surface defines a plurality of openings. Each of first and second sleeve holders are secured proximate an opening at a proximal end of each sleeve holder. First and second air bags are each configured to substantially surround a cooperating sleeve holder. Each sleeve holder and cooperating air bag is adapted to be received within a sleeve of the garment to extend the sleeve from the working surface. In one embodiment, a steam transfer device is configured to selectively transfer steam into each air bag and outwardly through each air bag to an interior surface of the sleeve. In another embodiment, a heated air transfer device is configured to selectively transfer heated air into each air bag and outwardly through each air bag to an interior surface of the sleeve.10-07-2010

20110186697Apparatus and system to mount objects in proximity to ceiling structure - A mounting apparatus for automatic fire sprinkler systems and other objects to be securely attached to the structure of a ceiling of a building, and additionally relates to a mounting clamp for securely gripping the tee of a suspended ceiling in order to mount an object to be held in proximity to the ceiling and a mounting clamp for mounting the sprinkler head of a fire protection system or other type of water system. The system provides means for more rigidly mounting various components of the system to the existing piping and ceiling structure found at an installation location.08-04-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090199851FAIL-SAFE MODULE INTEGRAL WITH A SEDATION AND ANALGESIA SYSTEM AND METHOD - The invention provides a fail-safe module (FSM) integral with a sedation and analgesia system that meets the high-reliability needs of sedation and/or analgesia delivered by non-anesthetist practitioners. The FSM may operate in “real-time” in order to ensure optimal patient safety. The FSM may deactivate specific patient interfaces, user interfaces, and/or sedation and analgesia delivery in order to ensure patient safety and has redundant safety systems in order to provide the fail-safe module with an accurate assessment of controller functionality.08-13-2009
20090203974SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING SENSOR FUSION - The present invention comprises a system that incorporates the natural relationships of patient parameters into a medical monitoring system in order to increase monitoring specificity by reducing false positive alarms resulting from spurious data and inconclusive data. The invention also comprises a system that incorporates the natural relationships of patient parameters in order to use the data obtained from those parameters to non-invasively monitor a patient parameter that typically precludes direct monitoring.08-13-2009
20090314290DRUG DELIVERY IN ASSOCIATION WITH MEDICAL OR SURGICAL PROCEDURES - Disclosed is drug delivery for facilitating medical and/or procedures that are performed without “general anesthesia,” which is also described in the specification as the state of patient “unconsciousness” resulting from a drug administered by an anesthetist or anesthesiologist. Mixtures of sedative and analgesic drugs are adapted for safe and effective administration by devices to provide and maintain drug infusions that do not push the patient into unconsciousness and/or general anesthesia. Drug delivery devices are also disclosed that include the use of stored parameters and/or values that correlate to drug mixture delivery during a procedure, and a patient health monitor to measure and send signals regarding a patient health condition to a processor.12-24-2009
20100069438ANESTHESIA INDUCTION AND MAINTENANCE DRUG - Disclosed herein is a combination drug designed for use by anesthesiologists for the purposes of inducing and/or maintaining general anesthesia and minimizing the stress response to pain that results from the noxious stimuli associated with surgical procedures. The present invention is suitable for use in general anesthesia to decrease the need for muscle relaxant administering and permit patients to drive themselves home after receiving the anesthetic. This invention includes a combination drug comprised of propofol (2,6-diisopropylphenol) and remifentanil (N-phenyl-N-(4-piperidinyl)amides) in which the preferred embodiment contains 2 mcg of remifentanil for each 1 mg of propofol. The combination drug invention may include a package as two drugs of proper proportions shipped and sold in a two compartment vial or syringe for mixing immediately prior to use. Alternatively, the invention may comprise a single drug prepared with proper preservatives in an aqueous solution.03-18-2010
20100093800APPARATUS, METHOD AND DRUG PRODUCTS FOR PROVIDING A CONSCIOUS PATIENT RELIEF FROM PAIN AND ANXIETY ASSOCIATED WITH MEDICAL OR SURGICAL PROCEDURES - Disclosed is drug delivery for facilitating medical and/or procedures that are performed without “general anesthesia,” which is also described in the specification as the state of patient “unconsciousness” resulting from a drug administered by an anesthetist or anesthesiologist. Mixtures of sedative and analgesic drugs are adapted for safe and effective administration by devices to provide and maintain drug infusions that do not push the patient into unconsciousness and/or general anesthesia. Drug delivery devices are also disclosed that include the use of stored parameters and/or values that correlate to drug mixture delivery during a procedure, and a patient health monitor to measure and send signals regarding a patient health condition to a processor.04-15-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110123506Dietary health food composition, package and method of use - A safe and effective dietary composition and method of use in which the composition contains protein, fat and carbohydrates in ratio of approximately 33% protein, 60% fat and 8% carbohydrates, the fat preferably being monounsaturated (MUFA) and polyunsaturated (PUFA) and providing, preferably, less than 800 calories per day. The preferred method of use includes consumption of a small quantity of this composition on an hourly basis which, preferably, is divided into some 16 equal dosages for the purpose of maintaining a continuous presence of macronutrients in the gastrointestinal tract to stimulate the production of hormones that produce feelings of satiety, a sense of well being and that suppress sensations such as hunger. In addition to this composition and the preferred method of consumption, the dieter may also consume salads that, preferably, provide no more than 250 calories.05-26-2011
