  • Publication number: 20240108839
    Abstract: An interface for positive pressure respiratory therapy includes a mask assembly having a mask seal and a mask shell. The mask assembly is positioned lower than and exposes a bridge of the user's nose. The mask seal includes first and second portions on respective first and second sides of a nasal region that contact opposing sides of the user's nose. The first and second portions each include supports that help maintain a shape of the mask seal. A pair of covers can be supported relative to the mask assembly and adjacent a respective one of the first and second portions of the mask seal. The covers limit expansion of the first and second portions of the mask seal in response to pressurized air within the mask seal. The supports of the first and second portions can transfer load from the mask seal to the covers.

  • Publication number: 20240069005
    Abstract: A method includes determining, using a processing device, a set of observations from coolant data, the coolant data being received from one or more sensors in an environment associated with a coolant. The method further includes determining, using a machine learning model and the set of observations, a contamination level of the coolant. The method also includes initiating an operation, using the processing device, responsive to determining the coolant contamination level.

  • Publication number: 20140242016
    Abstract: The present invention relates to non-aqueous emulsions stabilised by silica particles and to processes for making them. The invention further comprises: a particle stabilized oil-in-polar (o/polar o/p) emulsion comprising: a) a dispersed oil phase, b) a continuous polar phase substantially free of water, c) a particulate solid which is a silica particle dispersant possessing surface silanol groups (SiOH) sufficient to stabilize the emulsion, and where the emulsion is substantially free of emulsifiers, surfactants; and wherein the oil phase (a) is dispersed as discontinuous droplets in the polar phase (b); the silica particle dispersant (c) is absorbed on the surface of the oil phase (a); and the silica particle dispersant (c) is partially wetted by the polar phase (b).
