Filed:

Jan 16, 1998

Appl. No.:

09/008344

Inventors:

Bruce Lee Peterson - Crystal Lake IL
Christina Ellen Clayton - Chicago IL
Michael Stephan Farmer - Wildwood MO

Assignee:

Ameritech Corporation - Hoffman Estates IL

International Classification:

G06F 1760

US Classification:

705 34, 705 26, 705 30, 705 40, 709227

Abstract:

A system and method for monitoring remote computer access and associated costs is provided. The system includes a remotely located communication server in communication with multiple host computer networks and in communication with a network access server. First and second memory devices contain a list of authorized users for the host computer networks and a user log for use by a billing computer to generate bills. The method includes the steps of creating starting and ending time stamps for each authorized user accessing a respective one of the multiple host computer networks and creating a user log to generate bills and monitor host computer network usage.

Appl. No.:

09/730997

Inventors:

Michael W. Farmer - King NC 27021

International Classification:

A61M 1100

US Classification:

12820023, 12820328, 12820513

Abstract:

The inhalation therapy assembly and method of use described herein increases the efficiency of metered dose inhalers by allowing delivery of the doses to a collapsible reservoir which can be manually pumped, ensuring that medicants contained therein are properly and completely delivered to the patient. Terminal and proximal valves of the one-way diaphragm type allow flow of the aerosol medicants while preventing improper expulsion. An exhalation valve is adjustable to ensure the patient expires suitably to permit proper medicant absorption.

International Classification:

A61M 1100

US Classification:

12820022, 12820028, 12820013

Abstract:

The inhalation therapy assembly and method of use described herein increases the efficiency of metered dose inhalers by allowing delivery of the doses to a collapsible reservoir which can be manually pumped, ensuring that medicants contained therein are properly and completely delivered to the patient. Terminal and proximal valves of the one-way diaphragm type allow flow of the aerosol medicants while preventing improper expulsion. An exhalation valve is adjustable to ensure the patient exhales suitably to permit proper medicant absorption. A conventional metered dosage inhaler having an approved FDA canister provides proper dosage to the patient and is joined to the collapsible reservoir by a connector having a plurality of apertures for receiving the MDI and an accessory T-fitting.
