| 20100030132 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR WOUND, CAVITY, AND BONE TREATMENT - The present invention provides a treatment apparatus. The apparatus contains a reservoir or generator for a treatment solution, a mechanism for delivering the treatment solution to a wound site, and a mechanism for applying the solution to a wound, tissue, bone or surgical cavity for treatment. The apparatus may apply the solution (e.g., a solution containing hypohalous acid) with, for example, an occlusive wound dressing, pulsative lavage device, hydrotherapy, hydrosurgical device, and/or ultrasound. A waste container may be operably connected to the apparatus for collecting waste from the wound by run-off, or by applying negative pressure (e.g. a vacuum). Because the apparatus of the invention can optionally be portable or mobile, the invention is suitable for use in hospitals and nursing homes, as well as for home wound care. The invention also provides a method for treating a wound (or other area needing treatment), and/or for reducing wound bioburden, by supplying a hypochlorous acid solution to the site, such as a wound colonized or infected with drug resistant bacteria, before, during, or after negative pressure wound therapy. | 02-04-2010 |

| 20080222601 | Method and system for processing data contained within COBOL or PL/I record description entries and storage medium for storing instructions which effectuate the method - A method and system for processing data contained within COBOL or PL/I record description entries and storage medium for storing instructions which effectuate the method are provided. The method includes receiving a first COBOL or PL/I software instruction which includes a first set of criteria for a first data field of data fields of the entries and having a generic subscript/occurrence for the first data field. The method further includes automatically processing all occurrences of the first data field within the record description entries based on the first set of criteria. | 09-11-2008 |

| 20100037679 | CONTROL METHODS FOR SETTING A REFERENCE VOLTAGE IN AN AIR TREATMENT SYSTEM - A control system and associated methods for an air treatment system. In one aspect, the present invention provides a control system and method for controlling blower speed as a function of separately determined smoke and dust concentrations. In one embodiment, the control system and method provides a variable delayed between changes in motor speed to address undesirable rapid changes between speeds. In another aspect, the present invention provides a system and method for calibrating a sensor to provide more uniform operation over time. In yet another aspect, the present invention provide a system and method for calibrating motor speed to provide more consistent and uniform motor speed over time. The present invention also provides a system and method for tracking filter life by as a function of time, motor speed and/or a sensed variable, such as particulate concentration in the environment. | 02-18-2010 |

| 20100096246 | CONTROL PANEL ASSEMBLY - An illuminated control button with an eccentric switch and a button spring configured to substantially balance the mechanical resistance of the switch when the button is depressed. The switch may be a conventional push-button switch having a stem directly contacting a portion of the control button. The button spring may include an integral reflector and may have a rim that defines a surface engaging the button. The control button may include a fixed light source and the reflector may move about the light source when the control button is depressed. The present invention also provides a control button with a light source at least partially contained within an integrating sphere. In one embodiment, the integrating sphere includes a somewhat cup-shaped diffusely reflective surface that cooperates with a diffusely reflective surface on the back surface of the button to substantially evenly distribute light from the light source throughout the integrating sphere. | 04-22-2010 |
