  • Publication number: 20250025656
    Abstract: Aspects of the present technology comprise a positioning and stabilising structure to hold a seal-forming structure in a therapeutically effective position on a head of a patient. The seal-forming structure 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 for sealed delivery of a flow of air at a therapeutic pressure of at least 4 cmH2O with respect to ambient air pressure throughout the patient's respiratory cycle in use. The positioning and stabilising structure may comprise at least one gas delivery tube to deliver the flow of air to the entrance of a patient's airways via the seal-forming structure. The positioning and stabilising structure may comprise an adjustment mechanism for adjustment of a length of the at least one gas delivery tube to enable the positioning and stabilising structure to fit different size heads.

  • Publication number: 20240261995
    Abstract: In order to avoid complex electronic synchronization of various supply modules of an entire supply unit engaging on a caliber, the individual supply modules do not have separate drives, but rather a supply drive, usually a controllable electric motor, is mechanically operatively connected to several, preferably all existing, supply modules. As a result, moveable parts of the supply modules, which effect transport of the caliber in a supply direction, are driven accordingly.

  • Patent number: 12001315
    Abstract: Various embodiments for customizing a dynamic navigation system are described herein. An embodiment operates by receiving a request from a support user device for debug access to an application. A predetermined time period for which to provision a set of computing resources is identified and the set of computing resources are provisioned for a pod on a server. Both a first container including access to a new instance of the application and a second container providing access to a debugger program are generated for the pod. Upon determining that the predetermined time period has expired, access to the provisioned set of computing resources of the pod is revoked, and the provisioned set of computing resources to be made available for other processes of the server.

  • Patent number: 11829278
    Abstract: A method for secure debugging in a multitenant cloud environment where an application server maintains a host application shared by multiple tenant users can be implemented. The method can receive a request from a tenant user to debug the host application associated with a tenant user, and responsive to the request, deploy an application runtime environment comprising an application container encapsulating the host application associated with the tenant user and a debugger container encapsulating a debugging software running on the application server. The method can set at least a breakpoint in source code of the host application through a user interface of the debugging software, run the host application associated with the tenant user in the application runtime environment, and evaluate an expression entered through the user interface of the debugging software after the host application associated with the tenant user hits the breakpoint.

  • Patent number: 11718484
    Abstract: In order to be able to shingle articles individual slices or partial portions of slices shingled in a longitudinal direction in a transverse direction relative to the running direction of conveyor units on which these articles are transported, the two conveyor units, on each of which one of the two articles is fully supported, are not brought to overlap in order to achieve the transverse shingling, but one of the articles is transported on its conveyor unit with a lateral overhang to the other conveyor unit, and the other article placed there on the edge side with such a height difference that the two articles can finally overlap and be placed on top of each other. However, the two conveyor units only have to be guided closely next to each other for this purpose without overlapping themselves. This simplifies the design of the overlapping unit and reduces its overall height.

  • Publication number: 20230147000
    Abstract: Systems and methods for training an artificial intelligence unit for an automated vehicle are provided. The artificial intelligence unit includes a knowledge configuration. The artificial intelligence unit determines an evaluation value for at least two motion actions for the automated vehicle that considers an input state and the knowledge configuration. The input state characterizes the automated vehicle and at least one other road user. The system selects one motion action from the at least two motion actions, considers the evaluation value of the respective motion actions, and trains the artificial intelligence unit by adapting the knowledge configuration of the artificial intelligence unit based on the selected motion action. The knowledge configuration characterizes at least the empowerment of the at least one other road user.
