Abstract:
A spa control system designed to reduce maintenance cost by providing modular construction for major control functions, with built-in diagnostic capabilities for isolating defective spa components. Multi-colored LEDs on the spaside panel constantly report the status of each component of the spa as well as the status of the functional modules themselves. Each time a component is activated, measurements of operational parameters, such as load currents, are instantly made and evaluated so that the proper LED color can be presented at the spaside. Since major functions such as audio, LED control, wireless, and spa logic are separated into removable modules, repair of the control system requires less time and less skilled personnel. Other design improvements, such as direct monitoring of heater element temperature and the purging of pumps on an as-required-basis, enhance the spa's overall reliability and thus reduce the need for maintenance.
Abstract:
An apparatus for the production of ionized oxygen and ozone from pure oxygen. An adjustable high voltage power supply is connected to an ozone generator having at least one ozone generator therein. The HV power supply has a relatively low voltage setting for producing negative ionized oxygen and a relatively high voltage setting for producing ozone. A negative ionizer may be included to increase the concentration of negative ionized oxygen. Outputted gasses are directed to a hermetically sealed envelope positioned around and in spaced relation from the surface of a patient's injury. If the wound is infected, ozone is selectively used to treat the infection for a first predetermined period of time sufficient to neutralize the infection. After the wound is treated with ozone, negative ionized oxygen is selectively used to treat the wound for a second predetermined period of time sufficient to enhance the healing of the wound.

Abstract:
Systems and methods for providing network connectivity and remote monitoring, optimization, and control of pool/spa equipment are provided. "Internet-of- Things" (IoT) functionality is provided for pool and spa equipment in a flexible and cost-effective manner. Network connectivity and remote monitoring/control of pool and spa equipment is provided by various components such as a network communication and local control subsystem installed in pool/spa equipment, and other components. Also disclosed are various control processes ("pool logic") which can be embodied as software code installed in any of the various embodiments of the present disclosure.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft ein System aus präklinischen Notfallversorgungsmodulen, die durch Kombination in Verbindung mit einem menschlichen Notfallhelfer ein komplexes, möglichst ganzheitliches, zustandsabhängiges Regelungssystem ergeben. Auf Systemebene liegt ein intelligentes Entscheidungssystem, das mit und ohne den Notfallhelfer zu situationsoptimierten Maßnahmen führt. Situations- und interaktionsabhängig zeigen die Module ein unterschiedliches Verhalten. Der Notfallhelfer kann dabei als zusätzliches Sensor-Aktor Modul eingesetzt werden. Abhängig von allen gewonnen Sensordaten, die unterschiedlich gewichtet werden, werden dem Notfallhelfer Entscheidungshilfen vorgeschlagen bzw. das System entscheidet selbsttätig. Um dies zu ermöglichen, steht die abgesicherte Kommunikation der Module im Vordergrund.
Abstract:
Devices that allow remote ischemic conditioning to be carried out safely and efficiently are provided. Methods for performing remote ischemic conditioning on a subject are also disclosed.
Abstract:
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation being provided to a subject is monitored. An enhanced measurement of the effectiveness of the cardiopulmonary resuscitation received by the subject is determined by correlating chest compressions with changes in movement and/or composition of gas at or near the airway of the subject. For example, one or more therapy parameters may be measured with an enhanced accuracy and/or precision, and/or one or more therapy parameters not monitored in conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation monitoring systems may be measured.
Abstract:
Systems and devices described herein provide respiration assistance to users who have difficulty breathing on their own, and include a cuirass configured to be coupled to a thorax of the user and a ventilator fluidically coupled to the cuirass. The ventilator includes a housing, a pump including an inlet and outlet, a valve, an actuator, and a controller in communication with the actuator. The controller is configured to cause the actuator to: move the valve into a first configuration in which a first flow path of the valve fluidically couples the outlet to the cuirass and a second flow path of the valve fluidically couples the inlet to an external environment during exhalation and move the valve into a second configuration in which the first flow path fluidically couples the inlet to the cuirass and the second flow path fluidically couples the outlet to the internal volume during inhalation.
