Abstract: A humidification system can include a heater base, a humidification chamber, and a breathing circuit. A cartridge can be removably coupled to the heater base. The cartridge can include various sensors, probes, sensor wire connectors, heater wire connectors, and/or other features. The cartridge can include features configured to mate with corresponding features on the humidification chamber and the heater base. The cartridge includes a memory, such as an EEPROM, or other suitable storage device. When the cartridge is installed on the heater base, the memory is electrically connected to a processor and/or memory of the heater base. Various models of cartridges can be produced for use with different humidification chambers, breathing circuits, and/or therapies. A connector can be configured to couple an inspiratory conduit to an outlet port of the humidification chamber. The connector can provide a pneumatic connection to the outlet port and an electrical connection to the cartridge.

Abstract: Implementations are described herein for automatically annotating or curating digital images using various signals generated by individual users, in addition to or instead of content of the digital images themselves, thereby to enable the digital images to be retrieved from a searchable database based on their annotations. In particular, techniques are described herein for identifying events associated with a user, e.g., based on natural language input provided by a user, and automatically classifying/annotating images inferred to be related to those events.

Abstract: An optical system mount assembly can include a first post and a movable mount configured to mount an optical element, the moveable mount being configured to move relative to the first post assembly between a first position and a second position. The assembly can include a first magnetic latch system member disposed on or within the first post, and a second magnetic latch system member disposed on or within the moveable mount such that the first magnetic latch system member magnetically interacts with the second magnetic latch system member to magnetically latch the moveable mount to the first post in the first position.

Abstract: A system and method for generating activity summaries for users. User activity information is received by a user activity information receiver module. Once enough data is received and processed, the data is analyzes and segmented to determine and create an activity summary or story. Content is selected. The selection of the content includes selection of content items, such as multimedia items, e.g. pictures and videos. Secondary information, such as user activity information or location information is analyzed. A story is generated based on the selected content, including the selected content. The story is represented by a display of the selected media and other information associated with the media.

Abstract: A method for obtaining individual dies from a semiconductor structure is disclosed. The semiconductor structure includes a device layer, and the device layer in turn includes active regions separated by predefined spacings. Thick metal is selectively formed on backside of the device layer such that thick metal is formed on backside of active regions but not on backside of the predefined spacings. The semiconductor structure is then cut along the predefined spacings to separate the active regions with thick metal on their backside into individual dies.

Abstract: Contemplated plants include an acid gas enrichment unit in which acid gas unsuitable for feeding into a Claus plant from an upstream acid gas removal unit is separated into a concentrated hydrogen sulfide stream that is fed to the Claus plant and a carbon dioxide stream that is compressed in a compressor before sequestration, further purification, and/or recycling to a gasification unit.

Abstract: Circuits, methods, and apparatus for power MOSFETs having a high cell density for a high current carrying capability while maintaining a low pinched-base resistance. One device employs a number of transistor cells having varying mesa (regions between trench gates) sizes. A heavy body etch is utilized in larger cells to reduce the pinched-base resistance. This etch removes silicon in the mesa region, which is then replaced with lower-impedance aluminum. A number of smaller cells that do not receive this etch are used to increase device current capacity. Avalanche current is directed to the larger, lower pinched base cells by ensuring these cells have a lower BVDSS breakdown voltage. The large cell BVDSS can be varied by adjusting the critical dimension or width of the trench gates on either side of the wider mesas, or by adjusting the depth of the heavy body etch.

Abstract: The articulators of the present invention provide relative manipulation of dental models for simulation of occlusal and masticatory movements of the mouth. The full arch articulator with a removable wall consists of four parts—a lower part, an upper part, a middle part, and a rear part. The lower part is comprised of a full arch box, a pair of female hinge assemblies, and an incisal guide plate. The full arch box has an open bottom and an insert at the top with a series of grooves. The upper part is comprised of a spherical inner surface, a spherically concaved area on the outer surface, a square box with an open top, a vertical support with sides of cylindrical halves, and an incisal pin hole. The middle part is snap-seated on top of the full arch box in the lower part. The rear part is comprised of a pair of extension arms to receive the upper part for connection and a male hinge bar which is connected to the lower part.

Abstract: A spoken language interface comprises an automatic speech recognition system and a text to speech system controlled by a voice controller. The ASR and TTS are connected to a telephony system which receives user speech via a communications link. A dialogue manager is connected to the voice controller and provides control of dialogue generated in response to user speech. The dialogue manager is connected to application managers each of which provide an interface to an application with which the user can converse. Dialogue and grammars are stored in a database as data and are retrieved under the control of the dialogue manager and a personalisation and adaptive learning module. A session and notification manager records session details and enables re-connection of a broken conversation at the point at which the conversation was broken.
