Abstract: A patient interface is configured to deliver a flow of pressurized breathable gas to a patient's airways. The patient interface includes a central portion with an opening configured to deliver the pressurized breathable gas to the patient's nares. A first stabilizing portion extends from the central portion and is structured to engage an outer side of a respective one of the patient's nostrils. A second stabilizing portion is opposite the first stabilizing portion and extends from the central portion. In addition, the second stabilizing surface is structured to engage an outer side of a respective one of the patient's nostrils. The central portion, the first stabilizing portion and the second stabilizing portion cooperate to form a U-shape configured to cradle the patient's nose so that the tip of the patient's nose remains exposed when the patient interface is mounted on the patient's face.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for managing cryptocurrency is disclosed. A plurality of users are provided with an in-marketplace wallet suitable for storing linked digital tokens that are linked in value to cryptocurrency tokens and are required to transact on a digital marketplace platform. A cryptocurrency reserve is provided for storing cryptocurrency tokens. Responsive to a user purchasing linked digital tokens from a marketplace store, linked digital tokens are transferred to the in-marketplace wallet an equivalent value of cryptocurrency tokens are transferred to the cryptocurrency reserve. Responsive to a user withdrawing a number of linked digital tokens from the in-marketplace wallet, the desired number of linked digital tokens are removed from the user's in-marketplace wallet and an equivalent value of cryptocurrency tokens are transferred from the cryptocurrency reserve to an out-of-marketplace wallet of the user for storing cryptocurrency tokens outside of the marketplace platform.

Abstract: A method for operating a vehicle that may be automatically stopped and started is described. In one example, the method includes supply electrical current to a starter motor independently from supplying electrical current to a starter solenoid. In addition, the method includes adjusting and amount of electrical current that is delivered to the starter motor in response to a level of urgency of an automatic engine start.

Abstract: Data processing systems and methods for processing social media content include a social media module having access to multiple social media platforms associated with a user. The social media module receives media content preferences from the user and retrieves social media content according to those preferences. The social media module provides social media posts corresponding to the retrieved content and schedules the social media posts for distribution over a determined time period. The social media module posts the social media posts across multiple social media platforms according to the schedule over the determined time period.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a capacitive touch panel comprising a transparent panel substrate, a front surface of the substrate comprising a conductive translucent layer which, in use, is visible to a user; at least one light source associated with the back surface, wherein the light source is switchable between an ‘on’ state in which an illuminated icon is visible on the front surface of the cover panel and an ‘off’ state in which the illuminated icon is not visible on the front surface of the cover panel, wherein the light source is switchable from the off state to the on state by a change in capacitance of the conductive translucent layer; at least one switch associated with the back surface, wherein the switch is activable by a user pressing the touch panel in the vicinity of the illuminated icon to provide an output signal capable of performing a function.
