Abstract: A pin cup that may be disposed within a shell, with the shell moving along a vertical axis to accommodate an open or closed position. In an open position the shell may lower, exposing the pins in the pin cup. In a closed position the shell may raise, so as not to disturb the pins in the pin cup, but to allow the lid to cover the pins in a position above the pins. A disclosed embedment (100) may comprise a lid (110) a shell (120) a pin cup (130) and other components. Outer surfaces of a pin cup may interact with inner surfaces of a shell so as to allow the pin cup to lock in a lower position, travel to an upper position, lock in the upper position and be toolessly removed from the shell.

Abstract: Methods of an apparatus determine a quantity of a body of water in a humidifier such as by indirect measurement. The quantity of water may be determined by measuring one or more properties or characteristics, from which the quantity of water may be inferred. Characteristics of a flow of air, the humidifier, and/or the body of water may be measured. The characteristics may be, for example, pressure, flow rate, noise, vibration, temperature, electrical or mechanical. These may be measured by one or more sensors, which may be located in the humidifier, RPT device, air circuit or the patient interface. The methods described may have advantages, for example in being able to detect the quantity of water without requiring sensors to be present in a disposable component, and in some cases, without introduction of additional sensors.

Abstract: A flexural pivot can include a plurality of flexure support members, each flexure support member having a plurality of flexure openings and a plurality of wells each in fluid communication with a respective flexure opening. The flexural pivot can also include at least one flexure to rotatably couple the plurality of flexure support members to one another. The at least one flexure can have first and second flexible blades arranged in a cross configuration. The first and second flexible blades can be disposed in the flexure openings of the flexure support members, and coupling material deposited in the flexure openings can couple the first and second flexible blades to the flexure support members.

Abstract: This disclosure covers methods, systems, and computer-readable media that identify a topic variance from digital survey responses and provide a variety of functionalities to a digital survey system based on the topic variance (i.e., by modifying a digital survey reporting structure based on the topic variance). In certain embodiments, the disclosed systems analyze one or more sets of digital survey responses to generate one or more response models. Furthermore, the disclosed systems can analyze the one or more response models to identify a topic variance (e.g., an emerging topic, a change in trend for a topic, and/or a change in sentiment for a topic). Upon identifying a topic variance, the disclosed systems modify a digital survey reporting structure and/or generate notifications based on the identified topic variance.

Abstract: Techniques are described for invoking and switching between chatbots of a chatbot system. In some embodiments, the chatbot system is capable of routing an utterance received while a user is already interacting with a first chatbot in the chatbot system. For instance, the chatbot system may identify a second chatbot based on determining that (i) such an utterance is an invalid input to the first chatbot or (ii) that the first chatbot is attempting to route the utterance to a destination associated with the first chatbot. Identifying the second chatbot can involve computing, using a predictive model, separate confidence scores for the first chatbot and the second chatbot, and then determining that a confidence score for the second chatbot satisfies one or more confidence score thresholds. The utterance is then routed to the second chatbot based on the identifying of the second chatbot.
