  • Patent number: 12673225
    Abstract: A mask is provided according to the present application. The mask includes a mask body with filtering performance and a flexible support frame. The support frame is arranged in the mask body and connected to the mask body. The mask body includes a first filter area corresponding to the support frame and a second filter area surrounding the support frame. While the mask is in use, the support frame supports the mask body, so that the first filter area and at least part of the second filter area are spaced apart from the user's face. When the mask according to the present application is worn, the support frame separates the whole first filter area and at least part of the second filter area of the mask body from the wearer's face, which significantly increases the filter area of the mask and makes the wearer's breathing smoother.

  • Patent number: 12653975
    Abstract: A ventilator (100), for mechanical ventilation of a patient (102), includes a sensor unit that measures a course profile (114) of gas flow-dependent measured values (115) in a ventilation circuit (105) of the ventilator and outputs a corresponding sensor signal (116). A plurality of ventilation parameters (122) of a provided ventilation mode, stored in a memory unit (120), indicate an inspiration time (124) of the ventilation currently provided and a subsequent expiration time (126) for a corresponding breathing cycle. A processing unit (130) is configured to receive the sensor signal, to determine at least one current end-expiratory gas flow (132) based on the course profile and to adjust a ratio (136), between the inspiration time and the expiration time, for the current ventilation mode depending on a comparison between the determined current end expiratory gas flow and a lower threshold value (134) and/or an upper threshold value (135).

  • Patent number: 12502331
    Abstract: A massaging roller may comprise a first cylinder and a second cylinder. The roller may be arranged in a first or second configuration depending on which end of the first cylinder is connected to which end of the second cylinder. In the first configuration, an interior space between opposing ends of the first and second cylinders may form a first cavity of a first size. Conversely, in the second configuration, an interior space between opposing ends of the first and second cylinders may form a second cavity of a second, smaller size. This may enable the roller to receive and secure therewithin vibration elements of different sizes. That is, vibration elements of different sizes may be used alone for therapeutic benefit or may be installed within one of the first cavity or the second cavity to impart vibration to the roller.
