Abstract: A compressed gas energy harvesting system (CGEHS) for use in a gas delivery system is disclosed herein. The CGEHS comprises a gas control device connected to a compressed gas container and in fluid communication with a fluid within the compressed gas container. The gas control device comprising one or more electrical components. The CGEHS further includes a power storage device for providing power to the one or more electrical components and a potential energy converter coupled to the one or more electrical components, the potential energy converter for supplying power to at least one of the one or more electrical components and the power storage device by converting the potential energy retained by the compressed gas container into electrical energy.

Abstract: An indication is received from a delivery client device that an order is accepted for delivery. Order delivery information is provided to the delivery client device. A notification is sent to a customer device that the order has been provided for delivery. An indication is received from the delivery client device of a present location on a delivery route. An order status update message is sent to the customer device based on the location.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for detection and treatment of respiratory disorders using implanted devices are described. In one form, afferent nerves are electrically or electro-mechanically stimulated to increase the tone of upper airway muscles. Detection of respiratory disorders is carried out using electrodes implanted in sub-pectoral regions. Open and closed airway apneas are distinguished using a combination of acoustic detectors and electrical transducers.

Abstract: CPAP treatment apparatus (10), as one form of positive pressure ventilatory assistance, is disclosed. A turbine/blower (14), operated by a mechanically coupled electrical motor (16), receives air or breathable gas at an inlet (18) thereof, and supplies the breathable gas at a delivery pressure to a delivery tube/hose (20) having connection at the other end thereof with a nose mask (12). A microcontroller (38) has an operational “Mask-Fit” mode. An initial constant pressure level is applied by the blower (14) to the mask (12). If the functional mode is a Manual mode, then the mask-fit test pressure is the current ‘set’ pressure. If the functional mode is the Automatic Titration mode, the mask-fit test pressure is the 95th percentile pressure of the previous session, otherwise it is the base treatment pressure, e.g. 10-12 cm H2O. This constant pressure is applied for a period of time, typically 1-3 minutes.

Abstract: A system and method is used to identify and resolve issues that may prevent a software application from being properly installed in a target environment. A diagnostic tool kit provides a set of custom actions that a packager could use to instrument their package to return information about the status of the install. These actions send the data back to a repository for storage. Package instrumentation analyzes a package and generates a streamlined package containing only the components required to simulate an install and custom actions from the diagnostic tool kit. System administrators are able to specify which diagnostic actions they want included in the generated package. Once the package has been generated, the system administrator can deploy it across the intended machines. As the package installs it simulates an actual install on a target machine. Diagnostic custom actions are executed and the results will be sent to the repository for later analysis and reporting.

Abstract: A method to improve neural cell viability in brain or spinal cord tissue after brain or spinal cord injury or surgery is provided. This method comprises applying a sterile liquid medium to the brain or spinal cord tissue, wherein the sterile aqueous liquid medium comprises 0 to about 3000 ?M CaCl2, about 0.1 to about 1.2 ?M Fe(NO3)3, about 2500 to about 10000 ?M KCl, 0 to about 4000 ?M MgCl2, about 30000 to about 150000 ?M NaCl, about 100 to about 30000 ?M NaHCO3, about 250 to about 4000 ?M NaH2PO4, about 0.01 to about 0.4 ?M sodium selenite, about 0.
