  • Publication number: 20250205445
    Abstract: An apparatus for treating a respiratory disorder in a patient includes a respiratory pressure therapy device that generates a flow of air at positive pressure for treating the respiratory disorder. An air circuit transports the flow of air generated by the respiratory pressure therapy device to a patient interface. A nebuliser module is located at or adjacent to a proximal end of the air circuit to nebulise a liquid to form a nebula of the liquid. The nebula is admitted into the flow of air generated by the respiratory pressure therapy device. A vaporiser is located at the distal end of the air circuit to receive and vaporise the nebula to form a humidified flow of air.

  • Publication number: 20240399090
    Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for delivery of pressurised air or breathable gas to a patient. The apparatus may comprise a flow generator configured to generate a flow of air. A patient interface may be constructed and arranged to form a seal with a region of the patient's face surrounding an entrance to the patient's airways. The patient interface may be configured to deliver the pressurised air or breathable gas to the patient's airways for respiratory therapy. An air delivery tube may be coupled between the flow generator and the patient interface to deliver the flow of air from the flow generator to the patient interface as the pressurised air or breathable gas. A complementary flow device may be configured to divert at least part of the pressurised air or breathable gas away from the patient's airway.

  • Publication number: 20240139448
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed related to determining whether there is a proper fit between a user interface and a face of a user. The methods and systems involve generating seal information associated with a seal region between a face of a user and a current user interface donned on the face of the user. The methods and systems are further related to analyzing the seal information to determine whether a leak exists in the seal region. If the leak exists, the systems and methods include analyzing the seal information to determine a location of the leak within the seal region. The systems and methods further include determining a new user interface to replace the current user interface based on the current user interface and the location of the leak.

  • Patent number: 11725954
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to pre-computing routes for autonomous vehicles using map shards. For example, a shard from a plurality of shards of a map may be selected. Each shard including a plurality of nodes and edges connecting pairs of nodes of the plurality of nodes, and each node of the plurality represents a location. A plurality of port nodes for the shard are identified. Each port node has an edge that enters into the selected shard or exists the selected shard. For each port node of the plurality having an edge that enters into the selected shard, optimal routes to each other port node of the plurality having an edge that exits the selected shard may be determined. The optimal routes for the selected shard may be sent to the autonomous vehicles in order to enable the autonomous vehicles to use the optimal routes to determine routes.
