Latest Patents
One of Hall's notable inventions is a reusable thermal blanket with a multilayer sheet. This inflatable thermal blanket is designed to deliver thermally-controlled air to a person. The apparatus consists of an inflatable structure formed by joining a first sheet and a second sheet. An inlet is provided for receiving thermally-controlled air, while a multilayer sheet, made from several sheets that are releasably attached together, is affixed to the second sheet. The design includes means for exhausting the thermally-controlled air from the blanket.
In the method of use, the inflatable thermal blanket is deployed for the first time, with a source of thermally-controlled air attached to the inflation port. This allows for the admission of thermally-controlled air into the inflatable structure and the subsequent exhausting of air. The blanket can be reused by detaching the lowest layer of the multilayer sheet, exposing another layer for further use. This process can be repeated until the last layer is utilized, at which point the blanket may be discarded. An alternate embodiment allows for the attachment of a new multilayer base sheet to the inflatable structure once the original multilayer sheet is exhausted.
