Method and apparatus for airway compensation control
TL;DR: In this article, a method for controlling a mechanical ventilator that is supplying medical gas to a patient via an endotracheal tube is presented, where a pressure is measured from a patient end of an endotraucheal tube.
Patent

TL;DR: In this article, a tactile feedback system for a patient ventilator is described, in which an electrical-mechanical, pneumatic, or hydraulic force applying element is coupled to the trigger for applying a force to the fingers of the user responsive to the parameter signal.
Patent
Zero flow pause during volume ventilation
TL;DR: In this paper, an improved system for making an accurate determination of the patient's compliance and airway resistance by ensuring that the flow to and/or from the patient at the end of a ventilator pause is, in fact, reduced to zero flow.
Patent
Adaptive control system for a medical ventilator
TL;DR: In this paper, a control system for a single-valve controlled medical ventilator adaptively invokes separate flow delivery or flow exhaust control functions in response to the sensed dynamic state of the ventilators without any dependence on measured patient parameters.
Patent
Integrated, Extendable Anesthesia System
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe an integrated, extendable clinical center and clinician/anesthesia office that accommodates for physical separation of clinical and clerical functions, allowing for a portion of the system to be brought closer to the patient such that clinical controls can be accessed while tending to patient airway, without compromising office space available to the clinician or crowding the patient area.
