Abstract: Methods and system for treating obstructive sleep apnea and snoring are disclosed. The system generally comprises a mask for delivering pressurized air to patient's breathing orifice, a sensing mechanism for continuously assessing the state of patient's breathing and a pressure generator for generating the pressurized air in the mask. The pressurized air is applied to the breathing orifice only during selected portions of the breathing cycle, when such pressure might be required to prevent occlusion of the airway or to restore patency of the airway after such occlusion occurs.

Abstract: A system for filtering device information to be provided to a user by a digital device or system according to physiological information collected from the user. The physiological information may be used to determine the user's present cognitive stress, wherein the device information may be prioritized, withheld, delayed, or deleted if the present cognitive stress exceeds a predetermined threshold. The device information may be further evaluated with contextual information such as different aspects of the device information or non-physiological user information (e.g. location, time of the day). The system may manage device information with minimal or less user interaction than user defined rule systems.

Abstract: A method for controlling a display of a head mounted display (HMD) device, the method may include projecting on a display of the HMD device a given user interface element; sensing, by a sensor, a head movement of a user of the HMD device; unchanging a position of the projection of the given user interface element when a speed of the head movement is below a first speed threshold; and changing the position of the given user interface element when the speed of the head movement exceeds the first speed threshold.

Abstract: Example embodiments relate to sharing of user interface objects via a shared space in a data sharing application. In example embodiments, a data sharing application provides a shared space. A user command may then be received to transfer a respective UI object from each of a plurality of applications to the shared space. In response, each transferred UI object may be displayed within the shared space, such that each displayed UI object retains associated functionality from the corresponding application within the shared space. Finally, each UI object in the shared space may be shared with a plurality of users granted access to the shared space.

Abstract: A method for feedback based maintenance wherein the method may include transmitting to an intermediate computerized system a first image that was acquired, at an acquisition point of time, by a head mounted display (HMD) mounted on a head of a first user; transmitting the first image from the intermediate computerized system and towards a computerized device of a second user; displaying on the computerized device of the second user the first image; receiving feedback, in response to the displaying and by the intermediate computerized system; generating, by the intermediate computerized system, an augmented image that comprises the first image and the feedback; transmitting to the HMD the augmented image; adjusting, by the HMD the augmented image to provide an amended augmented image that corresponds to visual information as viewed by the HMD at a display point in time; and displaying, by the HMD, the amended augmented image.

Abstract: Various systems and methods for evaluating event importance are described herein. A system for evaluating event importance includes a processor subsystem; and a memory coupled to the processor subsystem, the memory including instructions, which when executed by the processor subsystem, cause the processor subsystem to: access data related to a prior event attended by a user; access data related to an upcoming event; and use the data related to the prior event and the data related to the upcoming event in a machine learning subsystem to determine an importance score of the upcoming event.
