Abstract: A vent assembly for a respiratory pressure therapy (RPT) system. The vent assembly may include a vent housing having a first orifice configured to receive the flow of pressurized gas from the RPT device and the vent housing having a plurality of holes to discharge pressurized gas to atmosphere; a vent housing connector having a second orifice configured to direct the flow of pressurized gas to the patient interface; and a heat and moisture exchanger (HME) comprising an HME housing and an HME material within the HME housing, wherein the vent housing and the vent housing connector are configured to be connected to, at least in part, form a cavity, and wherein the HME is positioned in the cavity when the vent assembly is assembled.

Abstract: A module (1) for a luminaire (2) has one or more sensing means (11) and at least one of: a visual information output means (12), and a mechanical input means (13) configured for being actuated by a human operator. The module (1) is insertable into an opening (231) of a casing (23) of the luminaire (2) such that the sensing means (11) is/are exposed to an exterior of the luminaire (2). Especially in connection with luminaires (2) for emergency lighting, which are required by law in every building, this provides a dense grid of environmental sensors (11) without requiring extra wiring or gateways to work, reduces the number of elements deployed in the building to get environmental data, simplifies integration and commissioning, and decreases installation costs with reference to separate sensor networks.

Abstract: One embodiment of a media handling system (5) is disclosed for mixing and or entraining grinding media (15) with a liquid media (10) for supply to a selected destination (D). In one form, the system (5) comprises a first media transfer module (30) configured operable for providing a flow of liquid media (10) having a respective flow condition to a first inlet (11) by way of which liquid media is receivable by the system (5). The system (5) comprises a second media transfer module (25) arranged in fluid communication with and downstream of both of the first inlet (11) and a second inlet (16) by way of which grinding media (15) is receivable by the system (5). The second media transfer module (25) is configured operable for supplying to the selected destination (D) a mixed flow of liquid and grinding media having a respective flow condition.

Abstract: A vent system for use during respiratory therapy with a flow of pressurized gas may provide a continuous vent flow of gas. The vent system may include a vent housing having an outer wall; an inner wall, the inner wall defining an inlet for the flow of gas; and a base positioned between the outer wall and the inner wall, the base having at least one first orifice and at least one second orifice. The vent system may include a membrane, the membrane being shaped and dimensioned such that the membrane does not cover the at least one first orifice to allow the vent flow through the at least one first orifice, and the membrane being shaped and dimensioned such that in a first position the membrane is positioned over the at least one second orifice to allow the vent flow through the at least one second orifice.

Abstract: The invention proposes a lighting device, in particular an emergency lighting device. The lighting device includes a first housing (2), a lighting means (12), for example an LED arranged at the first housing (2) and an electronic circuitry accommodated in the first housing (2) for operating the lighting means (12). A second housing (3) of the lighting device accommodates an energy storage means (13) such as a rechargeable battery, wherein the first housing (2) and the second housing (3) are arranged spaced apart. An interconnecting means (4) mechanically connects the first housing (2) and the second housing (3) in an elastic manner and also connects electrically the electronic circuitry and the energy storage means (13). The interconnecting means (4) of the lighting device of a preferred embodiment comprises a cable which is overmoulded to provide compressive strength in an axial direction of the cable.

Abstract: Concrete is formed by providing a wet layer of a first concrete 4, applying a second wet layer 6 of concrete on the first layer 4 of wet concrete and setting the layers 4 and 6 to provide a composite concrete structure, wherein at least one of the layers comprises, AACM (Alkali-Activated Cementitious Material). An ionic bond 2 is formed between the two layers. The AACM layer may comprise a reinforcement structure and cathodic protection.
