Abstract: A patient interface system to treat a respiratory disorder of a patient, the patient interface system comprising: a positioning and stabilising structure including a back portion and a pair of upper straps extending from the back portion; and a patient interface including a patient interface frame and a pair of rigidiser arms each connected to the patient interface frame at a connection point located in a plane substantially parallel to the patient's Frankfort horizontal plane, the pair of rigidiser arms further including a pair of upper attachment points, wherein the pair of upper straps are adapted to be releasably attached to the pair of upper attachment points such that, when donned by the patient, the pair of upper straps are vertically offset relative to the upper attachment points and substantially parallel to the patient's Frankfort horizontal plane, and wherein the patient interface does not include a forehead support.

Abstract: A modular power distribution apparatus and method includes a frame defined by a first set of parallel supports and a second set of parallel supports, the second set of parallel supports connecting the first set of parallel supports, the frame defining a generally planar assembly, as well as a set of components extending from a side of the frame. The set of components includes a set of power modules.

Abstract: Photonic devices are provided comprising a photoactive layer and at least one additional layer, wherein a surface of the photoactive layer or a surface of the at least one additional layer has imprinted thereon a quasi-random pattern of nanostructures corresponding to a quasi-random pattern of nanostructures defined in a recording layer of a pre-written optical media disc. Methods of patterning a layer of a photonic device are also provided.

Abstract: Methods of patterning a layer of a photonic device are provided using stamps or masks derived from pre-written optical media discs. One method comprises pressing a stamp on a surface of a layer of a photonic device, the stamp comprising a stamping surface which defines a negative replica of a quasi-random pattern of nanostructures defined in a recording layer of a pre-written optical media disc, for a period of time sufficient to imprint the quasi-random pattern of nanostructures defined in the recording layer of the pre-written optical media disc onto the surface of the layer of the photonic device; and removing the stamp. The stamps, the masks, and the photonic devices comprising the patterned layers are also provided.
