Abstract: A patient interface system for delivery of a supply of air at positive pressure to the entrance of a patient's airways for treatment of sleep disordered breathing includes an air delivery tube connected to a flexible portion of a plenum; a vent structure having sufficient rigidity to support its own weight under gravity and/or not to block or fold under tube movement or tube drag; and a patient interface structure. The patient interface structure includes a seal forming structure arranged on a top portion of the plenum; and a seal positioning and stabilizing structure connected to a flexible portion of the plenum. The seal-forming structure is substantially decoupled from a tube drag force.

Abstract: A control system for a heating system, including a blending valve configured to be connected to a heat source and a heating circuit conduit. The blending valve is configured to mix a heating water supply with the return flow from the heating circuit and supply the mixed water to the heating circuit. The blending valve has a first temperature threshold corresponding to the desired operating temperature of the heating circuit and a second temperature threshold that is substantially lower than the return temperature. An actuator is provided the switches the blending valve to the first temperature threshold to activate the heating circuit and to the second temperature circuit to deactivate the heating circuit. The actuator is connected to the pump and operates the pump when activating the heating circuit.

Abstract: A method may measure a respective temperature at a respective remote location or at the respective water pipe with the respective temperature sensor. A method may determine from the respective temperature measured by the respective temperature sensor a water usage event at the respective remote location. A method may determine during a determined water usage event a temperature profile from the temperature measured by the respective temperature sensor. A method may determine from the temperature profile determined during the water usage event a risk factor of microbiological growth at the respective remote location or of microbiological growth within the respective water pipe. A method may execute a disinfection cycle for the respective remote location or the respective water pipe if the respective risk factor of microbiological growth is above a respective risk threshold.

Abstract: A headgear for use with a patient interface for delivering a flow of breathable gas to a patient includes at least a strap adapted to position the patient interface in sealing engagement with the patient’s airways. The strap is constructed from an elastomer and a first side of the strap includes a first region on a portion of its surface that is textured to reduce friction with objects contacting the strap. A textured surface coating for a portion of an elastomer strap included in a headgear system is adapted to contact the skin of a patient, when in use, and the coating has a Ra value greater than zero. A vent for use with a patient interface for delivering a flow of breathable gas to a patient includes a plurality of rises and runs in a stepped arrangement; and a plurality of holes in the stepped arrangement for the venting of gas.

Abstract: A patient interface assembly is configured to deliver pressurized respiratory gas to a patient's airways. The patient interface assembly includes a cushion configured to sealingly engage the patient's face, a plenum base supporting the cushion, and a positioning and stabilizing structure configured to support the cushion and the plenum base on the patient's face. The positioning and stabilizing structure includes a stiffened portion. The patient interface assembly further includes a removable sleeve. The stiffened portion of the positioning and stabilizing structure is inserted into the removable sleeve. The removable sleeve is configured to be secured to the stiffened portion of the positioning and stabilizing structure by inserting a projection into a side cutout, and the stiffened portion of the positioning and stabilizing structure is prevented from sliding out of the removable sleeve when the projection is received within the side cutout.

Abstract: A turbine shroud assembly adapted for use in a gas turbine engine includes a blade track segment and a carrier. The blade track segment includes a runner that extends circumferentially partway around a central axis and an attachment post that extends radially from the runner. The carrier is coupled with the attachment post to support the blade track segment relative to the central axis.

Abstract: A turbine shroud assembly includes a blade track, a multi-piece carrier and a mount assembly. The carrier includes a fore body and an aft body. Attachment pin of the mount assembly extends between fore body and aft body and through an eyelet in an attachment post of the blade track.

Abstract: A patient interface system for delivery of a supply of air at positive pressure to the entrance of a patient's airways for treatment of sleep disordered breathing includes an air delivery tube connected to a flexible portion of a plenum; a vent structure having sufficient rigidity to support its own weight under gravity and/or not to block or fold under tube movement or tube drag; and a patient interface structure. The patient interface structure includes a seal forming structure arranged on a top portion of the plenum; and a seal positioning and stabilizing structure connected to a flexible portion of the plenum. The seal-forming structure is substantially decoupled from a tube drag force.
