  • Publication number: 20200261682
    Abstract: A modularized respiratory treatment apparatus provides various respiratory pressure treatments. The apparatus may be formed by discrete connectable modules such as a flow generator module, alarm module and/or humidifier module. Each module may include its own external casing or housing to independently retain or enclose the respective components that serve the function of the module. Different modules may be adapted with different components and functionalities and may be readily coupled using standardized gas and electrical connection configurations that have flow and communication paths that extend through the modules.

  • Patent number: 10511898
    Abstract: The invention provides a method and apparatus for downstream flow control in an (x)GPON system. First, ONU sends a DS_FlowControl_Request message to OLT, wherein the DS_FlowControl_Request message includes information of transmission inhibiting period and is used for requesting OLT to inhibit downstream transmission for a transmission inhibiting period corresponding to the information of transmission inhibiting period. After receiving the DS_FlowControl_Request message from ONU, OLT inhibits the downstream transmission for the transmission inhibiting period corresponding to the information of transmission inhibiting period based on the information of transmission inhibiting period included in the DS_FlowControl_Request message. After inhibiting the downstream transmission for the transmission inhibiting period corresponding to the information of transmission inhibiting period, OLT resumes the downstream transmission to ONU.
