Abstract:
A medical filter ( ) is constructed as a container with an interior volume in open fluid communication with a patient connection element ( ) and a transport connection element ( ). Filter support structure ( ) mounted within the interior is structured as a thin, perforated member ( ) carrying hydrophilic filter medium ( ). A first flow path directs spent dialysate from the patient across the surface of the filter medium ( ) to the transport connection ( ). A second flow path directs fresh dialyalysate from the transport connection ( ) through the filter medium ( ) and the perforated support structure ( ) to the patient connection ( ).

Systems And Methods For Theater Seat Movement

US Patent:
2013010, May 2, 2013
Filed:
Oct 26, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/282429
Inventors:
Levoy Haight - West Jordan UT, US
J. Ken Barton - Sandy UT, US
David J. Havell - Salt Lake City UT, US
Aaron Michael Best - Murray UT, US
Trent Lawrence Rolf - South Jordan UT, US
Mark Myers - Riverdale UT, US
International Classification:
G03B 31/00
US Classification:
352 1
Abstract:
Systems and methods for providing movement to seating including theater seating generate complex motion responses in the seating by automatically analyzing an audio component of media being consumed for one or more aspects of the audio information contained in the audio component at certain frequencies or frequency ranges. The aspects analyzed include aspects relating to frequencies and frequency ranges substantially higher than the low-frequency signals used to drive motion of theater seating. From the analysis of the audio aspects contained in the audio component, a plurality of independent low-frequency output signals is generated. The plurality of independent low-frequency output signals is directed to a plurality of individual actuators incorporated into different locations in a seat to provide sensations of motion at different locations of the seat, such as at a seat location, at a lower back location, and at an upper back location.

Portable Peristaltic Pump For Peritoneal Dialysis

US Patent:
6234992, May 22, 2001
Filed:
Oct 4, 2000
Appl. No.:
9/679939
Inventors:
Levoy G. Haight - West Jordan UT
Royce Herbst - Alpine UT
Reed F. Winterton - Salt Lake City UT
James L. Sorenson - Salt Lake City UT
Assignee:
Sorenson Development, Inc. - Salt Lake City UT
International Classification:
A61M 100
US Classification:
604 29
Abstract:
A pump assembly for ambulatory peritoneal dialysis transfer procedures includes a portable power supply geared to drive a high-volume peristaltic pump. A cassette of the pump comprises an encasement; tubing including an inner portion positioned within the encasement, a patient-side portion for connection to an indwelling peritoneal dialysis catheter and an opposing portion connectable to a system for containment and communication of a peritoneal dialysis solution which may be one single-compartment bag assembly; a safety valve for selectively occluding and permitting the communication of the solution through the inner portion; and a filter preferably interposed along the patient-side portion which filters air and particles from peritoneal dialysate that is flowing toward a patient and which allows peritoneal dialysate to flow substantially freely and unfiltered away from the patient.

Apparatus And Method For Specific Interstitial Or Subcutaneous Diffusion And Dispersion Of Medication

US Patent:
7232425, Jun 19, 2007
Filed:
Feb 21, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/080292
Inventors:
James LeVoy Sorenson - Salt Lake City UT, US
LeVoy Golden Haight - West Jordan UT, US
Assignee:
Sorenson Development, Inc. - Salt Lake City UT
International Classification:
A61M 5/178
US Classification:
60416406, 604158
Abstract:
A medication discharge assembly useful in patient systems includes a tubular element and a stylet. In a first, closed position, the stylet is seated within the tubular element and may provide a piercing point facilitating insertion of the tubular element to a treatment site. In a second, open position, the stylet is removed from the tubular element, and the tubular element provides a travel pathway for a drug introduced to the tubular element at a proximal connection port for specific interstitial and subcutaneous diffusion and dispersion of medication along the tubular element's length near a distal discharge port through disparate perforations, which may be formed as striations of increasing length nearer the distal discharge port. The stylet in the first position may be oriented to seal this travel pathway. Depth-finding features associated with the tubular element, visually perceptible and particularly useful for placement of the assembly, may be included.

Filed:
Sep 24, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/962027
Inventors:
James LeVoy Sorenson - Salt Lake City UT, US
LeVoy G. Haight - West Jordan UT, US
Frank McNeil - Sandy UT, US
Gloria Smith - Salt Lake City UT, US
Reed F. Winterton - Salt Lake City UT, US
Assignee:
Sorenson Development, Inc. - Salt Lake City UT
International Classification:
A61M001/00, A61M005/00, A61N001/30, N01B001/00
US Classification:
604 29, 604174, 604 19, 604 27, 210645
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for treatment of end stage renal decline and failure through peritoneal dialysis enabling ambulatory transfer of dialysate to and from the peritoneum of a renal patient, this in synthesis and coordination with normal physiological rhythms of the patient. The system remains unobtrusive and less restrictive of patient ambulation and orientation. The present invention includes expendables disposability of which facilitates safe reuse of more expensive portions and is sufficiently simple for use in a home care environment. It may be designed to incorporate real-time, interactive or remote monitoring and regulation and visual or audible indication of system pressures, chemical balances and other important variables.
