Abstract: A humidifier for humidification of air to be delivered to a patient's airways may include a humidification chamber, a reservoir and a water delivery mechanism. The humidification chamber may include a water retention feature such as a wick, a heating element for heating the humidification chamber, and an air flow baffle configured to promote humidification. The humidifier may be further configured to execute one or more algorithms, for example to determine a condition of the humidifier and/or to mitigate any detected faults. In some forms, the humidifier may also comprise algorithms for controlling one or more components of the humidifier.

Abstract: A personal case defined by a stiff shell section including an elongate hole therethrough. There is a flexible sheet attached to the stiff shell section across the elongate hole with an elongate slit therethrough. A pocket fixed within the stiff shell section is accessed through the elongate slit and retained by a closure. A charging cable includes a charging port fixed on the case and a plug in the pocket to engage a power bank.

Abstract: A charger for an electronic device includes a rechargeable battery, at least one charging port in the device electrically coupled with the battery, a wireless charger electrically coupled with the battery and a magnetic mount magnetically engageable with a ferromagnetic element in the electronic device. The magnetic mount is adjacent the wireless charger. The charger is mountable to a personal travel case. The electronic device may be magnetically coupled to the charger. Alternatively, the charger may be electrically connected to the electronic device with the electronic device remotely attached to the personal travel case through a magnetic bracket fixed to the personal travel case.

Abstract: Disclosed is a power bank storage device. The device includes a fixed plate, a push-and-pull plate, a limiting plate and snap-fitting components. The push-and-pull plate corresponds to the fixed plate in position and is rotatably connected at one end; a side surface of the push-and-pull plate close to the fixed plate is integrally connected with a box body with an opening upper end for storing a power bank; the limiting plate is mounted between the fixed plate and the push-and-pull plate, and between the open position and the closed position of the push-and-pull plate, one end thereof is slidably connected with the fixed plate, and the other end thereof is rotatably connected with the push-and-pull plate; and the snap-fitting components are fixed onto the fixed plate, and are snap-fitted with the limiting plate in the closed position of the push-and-pull plate.

Abstract: A heads-up display (HUD) system is disclosed in various embodiments. The HUD system includes a window plate defining an opening to enable light emitting from HUD components to pass therethrough. The window plate includes an inner trough wall and an outer trough wall that cooperate to define a trough therebetween that at least partially surrounds the opening. A transparent cover is attached to the window plate and covers the opening. The cover has a perimeter and an overhang portion located along at least a portion of the perimeter. The opening has a center and the overhang portion extends further from the center than the inner trough wall to facilitate liquid traveling across the cover to enter the trough and inhibit the liquid from entering an interface between the cover and the window plate. The outer trough wall can have a raised profile relative to the cover to protect the cover.

Abstract: A system for reducing the cost and increasing the rate and reliability of data transmission from space to ground includes a network of relay satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). Each relay satellite is configured to receive data from one or more client satellites, and configured to transmit data from LEO to ground using optical communications. The system may also include multiple optical ground stations configured to receive the data and transmit the received data using terrestrial networks to client locations. The network may provide an alternative to downlinking large amounts of data for new satellite operators without an existing ground network and for established satellite operators seeking higher data rates, lower latency, or reduced ground system operating costs.

Abstract: A suitcase or luggage piece having a rigid lower compartment that retains the intended shape and a soft flexible lid or top that is releasably attached to the lower compartment. In an alternate embodiment there is an expansion piece mounted between the lower rigid compartment and the lid. The expansion piece can be either rigid or soft and is stored in the lower compartment until needed.

Abstract: A system for locating and identifying luggage comprising a signaling unit and an identifying unit. The signaling unit includes an electromagnetic signal transmitter electronically coupled to a switch. Actuation of the switch causes the signal transmitter to generate an electromagnetic signal. The identifying unit is affixed to the luggage and includes an electromagnetic signal receiver to receive the electromagnetic signal. The identifying unit further includes a sound producing element electronically coupled to the signal receiver such that the sound producing element emits an identifying sound following receipt of the electromagnetic signal by the signal receiver. The identifying unit may also include an optional light source that emits light following receipt of the electromagnetic signal to further assist in location and identification of the luggage.

Abstract: A container for shipping golf equipment. The container includes a back panel, side panels, and a front panel which define the interior of the container. The interior includes an upper portion and a lower portion. The front panel is at least partially removable from the side panels to allow access to the interior of the container. An air bladder is affixed to the side panels within the upper portion of the interior. The air bladder includes a sealable fill stem through which the air bladder may be inflated. The inflated air bladder is used to substantially immobilize the golf equipment during shipping.
