Abstract: FIGS. 1-16D & 66A-92D disclose a large variety of methods of forming the headgear for use in combination with a breathing apparatus including a unitary plastic core within textile casings. In some configurations, the plastic core material penetrates or bursts-through the textile casing of the straps. Some configurations include over moulding, alignment posts, T-joints and joint housings with injection aperture. FIGS. 17-65 & 93A-94C disclose a large variety of different headgear arrangements including top strap, front strap, rear strap and pairs of straps extending from the mask above and below the ear to meet behind the ear. FIGS. 95-121B disclose a large variety of connectors connecting the headgear assembly to the mask assembly where the headgear, mask and connector form a closed loop when the connector is disengaged with the mask assembly.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a patient interface for non-invasive ventilation. The patient interface is configured to seal about the mouth and nares of a patient and includes an outer wall defining an interior volume which includes a first chamber having one or more oral openings to communicate gas with the mouth and a second chamber having one or more nare openings to communicate gas with the nares. The patient interface further includes a dividing wall that separates the first chamber from the second chamber. The patient interface further includes one or more flow directors which enable gas to flow into the second chamber from the first chamber the first chamber from the second chamber. The one or more flow directors are configured to direct the gas flow through the one or more nare openings.

Abstract: An electrical energy generating element includes a first porous electrode, an eggshell membrane, and a second porous electrode. The first porous electrode, the eggshell membrane, and the second porous electrode are stacked on each other in that order. The present application also relates to an electrical energy generating device, a method for generating electrical energy, and a decorative ring.

Abstract: A probiotic composition for treating rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder, is prepared from Bacillus licheniformis, Bifidobacterium longum, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Enterococcus faecalis, and pharmaceutically acceptable adjuvants. The probiotic composition can improve the symptoms of rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder of a patient, improve RBD symptoms of idiopathic RBD patients and PD patients, improve the motor symptoms and reduce the daily levodopa equivalent dose in PD patients.

Abstract: An electrical energy generating device includes an electrical energy generating element, a first container, a second container, and a liquid having positive and negative ions. The electrical energy generating element includes a first porous electrode, an eggshell membrane, and a second porous electrode stacked on each other in that order. The first container is located on a side of the first porous electrode away from the eggshell membrane. The second container is located on a side of the second porous electrode away from the eggshell membrane. The liquid is located in at least one of the first container and the second container, and the liquid is configured to penetrate from one of the first container and the second container to another through the electrical energy generating element.

Abstract: A method for generating electrical energy includes providing an electrical energy generating element.
