Abstract: Systems and methods for secure messaging and automation are disclosed herein. An example method includes providing a user-facing application secured through use of a security token cached on a web browser, establishing a security protocol or security token utilized between the application server layer and the web services layer that is different from the security token cached on the web browser; and performing asynchronous processing based on user interaction with a goal-based planning application that provides queries that are directed to assessing both risk willingness and goal ability, generates a risk willingness score and a goal ability score, selects a goal-based plan, and generating one or more instructions sets that are used to automatically reconfigure the plurality of user accounts to ensure that a goal is met within a specified time frame.

Abstract: One aspect of the present disclosure is directed to a fuel cell power system. The system may include one or more fuel cells configured to generate electric power and a compressor configured to supply compressed air to the one or more fuel cells. The system may further include one or more sensors. The sensors may be configured to generate a signal indicative of at least one measured parameter of air flow across the one or more fuel cells. The system may also include a controller in communication with the one or more fuel cells, the compressor, and the sensors. The controller may be configured to determine a desired pressure drop based on at least one calculated parameter, determine a control command for the compressor based on the desired pressure drop, and adjust the control command based on a feedback gain parameter and a feed forward gain parameter.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for reducing condensation in a respiratory circuit during a delivery of humidifying agent into the respiratory circuit. A first amount of humidification agent to a first volume of gas is delivered to a patient respiratory circuit during a patient inhalation cycle or immediately after a patient exhalation cycle, and the humidification agent or the first volume of gas is heated. Condensation is removed from the respiratory circuit at least in part by providing, during a patient exhalation cycle or immediately after a patient inhalation cycle, a second amount of the humidification agent to a second volume of gas being delivered from the gas source to the patient respiratory circuit, the second amount of the humidification agent being significantly less than the first amount of the humidification agent.

Abstract: A catheter system includes a catheter including an elongate body having an expandable medical device coupled with a distal end thereof, and an introducer sheath assembly disposed over a proximal section of the catheter. The introducer sheath assembly includes an introducer sheath disposed over the catheter to form a gap therebetween, and a tubular plug. The introducer sheath includes an elongate body extending from a proximal end to a distal end and defining a lumen therein. The tubular plug extends through the lumen and includes an elongate body extending from a proximal end to a distal end that protrudes from the introducer sheath distal end. The plug is disposed between the catheter and the introducer sheath to occlude the gap. The plug is releasably fixed relative to the introducer sheath such that the plug is removable from the lumen to allow the expandable medical device to pass therethrough.

Abstract: A mandibular advancement device having a first frame and a second frame, the first frame having a first occlusal surface and a first generally U-shaped groove, the second frame having a second occlusal surface and second generally U-shaped groove, the mandibular advancement device having a first rib protruding from the first occlusal surface of the first frame, a first upstanding sidewall protruding from the first occlusal surface of the first frame, a first inner surface of the first upstanding sidewall, the first inner surface generally parallel to, offset from, and facing the first rib, a first set of teeth on the inner surface of the first upstanding wall, the first set of teeth facing the first rib and orthogonal to the first occlusal surface, a first channel of the second occlusal surface of the second frame, the first channel in relative position to interface with the first rib, an opening of the first channel, the opening of the first channel having a width that is narrower than a width of the first r
