ResMed S9 coming soon?

Re patents, I wonder if this one was included in the S9 machine ?
Appears to have just been approved.

Title: US Patent 7644713 - Method and apparatus for determining instantaneous leak during ventilatory assistance
(Applied for back in 2006 but patent granted on Jan 12 2010)

Maybe tomorrow night!

No rush, TLG! I suspect that kind of analysis is a pure pleasure activity for you. If it is, consider saving it as a special treat when you can ENJOY it----rather than hastily getting to it as if it were a pressing assignment.

I just took a peek back through this thread to see the full-version of patent text has been removed to save clutter. That makes sense. There might be others who would also enjoy looking through the patent. So here it is without thread clutter: http://www.patentstorm.us/applications/ ... ltext.html

Patent description workers and lurkers alike, enjoy! Thanks again, TLG, for your wonderful work.

I think this one goes hand-in-hand with the one you have linked to

US Patent 7320320 - Determination of patency of the airway
http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/73203 ... ption.html

Extract:

It would be useful, however, to even more sensitively and reliably detect the conditions of partial obstruction, as well as apnea and patency, as this would assist in the design of equipment to prevent these conditions from occurring. In a similar way, means for detecting and monitoring mildly obstructed breathing would be useful in diagnosing and treating Upper Airway Resistance syndrome and monitoring that treatment is optimal.

Resmed seem to be going for the lot
