Abstract: The various systems and methods disclosed herein provide an enhanced audio experience in a virtual environment. In some implementations of the system and method for enhancing audio, a user forms a group with one or more desired audio sources in a virtual environment, and audio coming from sources outside of the group are filtered to become less obtrusive. In some implementations, causing non-group audio to become less obtrusive is accomplished by lowering its perceived volume.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for constraining access to memory using capabilities. Processing circuitry performs operations during which access requests to memory are generated, with memory addresses for the access requests being generated using capabilities that identify constraining information. Capability checking circuitry performs a capability check operation to determine whether a given access request whose memory address is generated using a given capability is permitted based on the constraining information. Memory access checking circuitry then further constrains access to the memory by the given access request in dependence on a level of trust. The given capability has a capability level of trust associated therewith, and the level of trust associated with the given access request is dependent on both the current mode level of trust associated with the current mode of operation of the processing circuitry, and the capability level of trust of the given capability.

Abstract: Various control methods can indirectly determine incorrect connections between components in a respiratory therapy system. For example, errors in the connections can occur between a patient interface, a humidifier and/or a gases source. The methods can indirectly detect if a reverse flow condition exists or other error conditions. A reverse flow condition can occur when gases flows in a direction different from an intended direction of flow. The detection of the reverse flow condition can be indicative of likely errors in connections between the humidifier, patient interface and/or gases source.

Abstract: Interfaces for positive pressure therapy having a mask assembly, a headgear assembly and a connection port assembly are disclosed herein.

Abstract: A method includes applying a polymer to a mold, the mold having microstructures with the polymer flowing into the microstructures when applied to the mold. The method includes pressing an inorganic substrate onto the polymer. The method includes curing the polymer to fix the polymer to the inorganic substrate to form an optical element from the polymer and the inorganic substrate, the optical element having microstructures formed by the microstructures in the mold. The method includes releasing the optical element from the mold.

Abstract: The present invention provides compounds of formula (I): compositions comprising such compounds; the use of such compounds in therapy (for example in the treatment or prevention of a disease or condition in which plasma kallikrein activity is implicated); and methods of treating patients with such compounds; wherein R5, R6, R7, A, B, W, X, Y and Z are as defined herein.

Abstract: Data processing apparatuses, methods and computer programs are disclosed. A range definition register is arranged to store a range specifier and filtering operations are performed with respect to a specified transaction by reference to the range definition register. The range definition register stores the range specifier in a format comprising a significand and an exponent, wherein a range of data identifiers is at least partially defined by the range specifier. When the specified transaction is with respect to a data identifier within the range of data identifiers, the filtering operations performed are dependent on attribute data associated with the range of data identifiers.

Abstract: A data processing system includes processing circuitry for executing context-data-dependent program instructions which are decoded by decoder circuitry. Such context-data-dependent program instructions perform processing which is dependent upon currently existing context data. As an example, the context-data-dependent program instructions may be floating point instructions and the context data may be rounding mode information. The decoder circuitry supports a context save instruction which saves context data when it is marked as having been used and saves default context data when the current context data is marked as not having been used. The decoder circuitry further supports a context restore instruction which restores context data when the current context data is marked as having been used and permits the current context data to continue for future use when it is marked as currently unused.

The rotor housing having a first wall, a second wall, and a third wall which guides the exhaust gas flow until the exhaust gas flow reaches a housing gap at the second wall and the exhaust gas flow moves out from the rotor housing, while the first wall having another housing gap for the air flow to go through to cool the rotor and the cooling process adds torque to the engine. The engine includes an optional wind turbine assembly. An air compressor is either driven by an electric motor or driven by other means.
