Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for collectively optimizing cooperative actions among autonomous connected vehicles. A system may include a plurality of autonomous connected machines and/or vehicles that may establish a mesh network for communication amongst one another. Remote from the mesh network, the system may include a consortium configured to communicate with the mesh network, such as by cellular communication. The mesh network of connected vehicles may collectively receive, from the remote consortium, reliability information associated with the autonomous vehicles in the mesh network, and may collectively generate a shared map of the environment surrounding the plurality of autonomous connected vehicles in accordance with the reliability information. Based on the shared map, the mesh network of connected vehicles may collaboratively generate a collective navigation plan for the plurality of vehicles to navigate the environment.

Abstract: A limiting valve (4) is provided in an inhalation therapy unit with a valve member (13) which closes an air through opening (12) in the idle state and corresponding to the pressure difference occurring over the valve opens same substantially proportionally up to a threshold value. If the threshold value is exceeded, the valve member (13) abuts against a limiting member (16) which limits the movement of the valve member (13) and the air passage orifices (17) of which are partially closed by the valve member (13) so that air can only flow through the air passage auxiliary orifices remaining free. In this manner the patient using the inhalation therapy unit is urged to breath in the range below the threshold value, as his respiration above the threshold value is opposed by a considerably higher resistance.

Abstract: The invention relates to a breath simulator, which comprises a pump means (1) and a computer means (3). The computer means (3) controls the pump means (1) in such a manner that a stored breathing pattern of a patient is produced on a connecting piece (12) of the pump means. With the aid of the breath simulator, therapeutical nebulisers can be examined.
