  • Publication number: 20170361133
    Abstract: A personal entertainment respiratory apparatus provides air to a user to provide a fully immersive entertainment experience. The personal entertainment system may comprise a flow generator for providing the flow of air. A personal spatial respiratory interface may be coupled to the flow generator. The personal spatial respiratory interface may comprise an outlet for the flow generator. The personal spatial respiratory interface may further be configured to direct the flow of air within an ambient breathing proximity of a user. The personal entertainment respiratory apparatus may further comprise a controller and a sensory particle dispenser. The controller and sensory particle dispenser may be configured to selectively activate release of a sensory particle from the dispenser into the directed flow of air in response to an entertainment triggering signal.

  • Publication number: 20170149827
    Abstract: A method and computing device for enablement of a disabled profile or a third party application associated with the disabled profile on the device, the method including receiving, at an identity module on the device, a request to enable the disabled profile or the third party application; obtaining, from each profile on the device that is currently active, a respective policy; obtaining, from the disabled profile, a policy for the disabled profile; determining, based on the respective policies obtained from the active profiles and based on the policy for the disabled profile, whether the disabled profile or third party application can be enabled; and providing a response to the request to enable the disabled profile based on the determining.

  • Patent number: 9427998
    Abstract: A method of imbedding an image in a stone substrate includes printing an image onto a first surface of the stone substrate with regular inks and/or phosphorescent inks. Optionally, a moist towel is placed over the first surface of the stone substrate and a weight is placed over the moist towel then time is provided for the inks of the image to transfer from the print image into the surface of the stone substrate, sublimating into the stone. If provided, the moist towel and the print image are then removed and the above steps are repeated until the image is imbedded into the stone substrate. Optionally, a mirror image of the image is printed on the opposite side of the stone substrate in a similar manner.

  • Publication number: 20150335851
    Abstract: A device provides respiratory treatment such as for sleep disordered breathing and other respiratory conditions in a discreet configuration to provide a minimally invasive system. The system may include a flow pressurizer apparatus configured to generate a pressurized flow of air through a small bore delivery conduit toward a patient interface. The system may further include a treatment compensator coupled with the fine bore delivery conduit. The treatment compensator may be configured at the patient interface to reduce pressure for patient inspiration. A processor may control adjustments to the pressure generated by the flow pressurizer apparatus.

  • Patent number: 7958822
    Abstract: An application for a method of imbedding an image in a stone substrate includes printing an image onto a print image using a computer printer and placing the print image face down on the surface of the stone substrate. A moist towel is placed over the print image and a weight is placed over the moist towel then time is provided for the image to transfer from the print image to the surface of the stone substrate. The moist towel and the print image are then removed and the above steps are repeated until a quality image is imbedded in the stone substrate.
