Abstract: A kit including a device which provides breathable gas to a patient and a specific facing, the device including a unit which provides a flow of breathable gas, a processor which drives the unit, and a receiving region which receives the specific facing. The unit and the processor provide the breathable gas in at least two different modes of operation, and a specific mode of operation can be selected out of the at least two modes by attaching the specific facing onto the receiving region.

Abstract: A sensor ring is provided for a magnetic measuring transducer of an ABS system consisting of at least two annularly arranged functional elements. The first functional element is formed as a ferromagnetic annular disc element with a flat upper side and a flat underside with a multiplicity of openings. The second functional element, as a non-ferromagnetic element, has either been applied on the upper side and/or the underside of the annular disc element and/or has been introduced into the openings, as an annular disc element. The sensor ring is protected from contamination or damage by the non-ferromagnetic covering. The covering may also be produced by encapsulation or filling, wherein the openings in the sensor ring can be filled with plastic and also the side faces can be coated with plastic.

Abstract: The invention relates to a patient ventilation or breathing device and components therefore for use in all forms of respiratory apparatus ventilation systems including invasive and non-invasive ventilation, positive airway pressure therapy, Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), and particularly Bi-Level therapy and treatment for sleep disordered breathing (SDB) conditions such as Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), and for various other respiratory disorders and diseases. The invention particularly relates to a blower, to a blade, to a gasket, to a cable, to an impeller, to a gas inlet and inlet member, to an improved air path or fluid flow path and components thereof, and/or to a modular ventilation or breathing device as referred to above and particularly incorporating one or more of the other aspects of the invention.

Abstract: The present technology relates to a tub for a humidifier comprising a container made of a first material, a heating element, and a lining made of a second, preferably biocompatible, material different from the first material, wherein the container comprises a base and a side wall defining a reservoir for a supply of liquid to be evaporated, the heating element is provided on the base of the container, and the lining covers the heating element and a substantial portion of the inner surface of the side wall of the container.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a patient interface comprising a member for contacting the skin of a patient during use, wherein at least a part of said member comprises a substance, wherein the substance is released to the patient's skin during use.

Abstract: An integral brake system for motorcycles, in which a hydraulic brake system acts on one wheel is connected by a hydraulic line to a main brake cylinder which is controllable with a first brake lever, a brake system acts on the other wheel, with an actuator controllable by both the first brake lever and a second brake lever, and an electronic control unit that contains a regulating device for controlled distribution of the brake force between the two wheels. The electronic control unit is connected by electric control lines to a sensor that responds to operation of the hydraulic brake system, to the actuator and to the second brake lever. The control unit controls the actuator as a function of the output signal of the sensor or, in the event of operation of the second brake lever, to activate the brake system that acts on the second wheel.

Abstract: A vehicle engine control apparatus has a driver-operated engine operation preset control element and a speed regulation stage and/or limiting stage for regulating or limiting, respectively, the speed of travel using an engine-power-related nominal preset signal and emitting an engine-power-related speed regulation or speed limiting control signal. A torque characteristic stage emits an engine-torque related nominal preset signal as a function of the operation of the engine operation preset control element and of engine rotation speed information. This nominal preset signal is supplied to an engine/power characteristic stage which is provided on the input side of the speed regulation or limiting stage and determines the engine-power-related nominal preset signal from this as a function of the engine rotation speed.

Abstract: A method for determining the yaw velocity of a vehicle is used, in particular, for adaptive driving-speed control. The yaw velocity is calculated from measurements of wheel speed determined by wheel-speed sensors on a right and on a left non-driven wheel by introducing a correction term with a correction factor with which differing tire wear as well as different tire pressure and other interfering parameters can be eliminated.

Abstract: A cruise control system with a sensor device and an evaluation unit. The sensor device determines movement data and position data of an object. The evaluation unit processes the movement and the position data of the object and data on the movement of the motor vehicle itself. The velocity and/or a direction of travel of the vehicle are regulated as a function of the data. A tracking probability P is determined which is a measure of a control-related quality of the detection of the object. The velocity and/or direction of travel of the vehicle are regulated as a function of the tracking probability.
