Abstract: A patient interface assembly is configured to deliver a positively pressurized flow of breathable gas to a patient's airways. The patient interface assembly includes a patient interface configured to sealingly engage the patient's face and comprises a chamber configured to receive the pressurized flow of breathable gas. The patient interface assembly also includes headgear configured to support the patient interface on the patient's head and be tightened to one of a plurality of discrete tension settings. The headgear includes a tensioning element that is configured to contract in length to one of a plurality of discrete lengths when subjected to an electrical signal. Each discrete length of the tensioning element corresponds to a respective one of the plurality of discrete headgear tension settings.

Abstract: A patient interface assembly is configured to deliver pressurized gas to the patient's airways. The patient interface assembly includes a patient interface structure that is configured to sealingly engage the patient's face. The patient interface includes a receptacle. The patient interface assembly further includes headgear configured to support the patient interface structure on the patient's head. The headgear includes a clip that is receivable by the receptacle. The receptacle and the clip together form a multiple stage connection arrangement in which each of the multiple stages corresponds to an interlocked position of the clip in the receptacle. Each stage is associated with a corresponding range of headgear tension.

Abstract: Techniques are provided which may be implemented using various methods and/or apparatuses in a mobile GNSS device to compensate for arm swing. An example of an method for compensating for arm swing according to the disclosure includes determining an arm swing signal, such that the arm swing signal is approximately sinusoidal with a period of approximately T seconds, determining a position signal measurement period, receiving a plurality of positioning signals at intervals corresponding to the position signal measurement period, and determining current position information based on the plurality of positioning signals.

Abstract: A mask system and an air delivery conduit for use in the treatment of respiratory disorders. The air delivery conduit may comprise a textile having an airtight arrangement. A support structure may be provided to the conduit to provide form.

Abstract: A system for presenting a skill-based game, the system includes at least one server to serve a set of matchups of participants of an event, to a plurality of presentation devices, the plurality of presentation devices displaying the set of matchups on a display; to receive over the wide area network data from the presentation devices characterizing a set of user selected winners of the matchups made by the users; update the event data pertinent to participants in the actual events; using the updated data to calculate and assign payoffs to the users based on fixed payoff odds. A related computer-implemented method provides participant matchups to an operator organizing such a skill-based game.

Abstract: A system for presenting a skill-based game, the system includes at least one server including a processor configured to execute machine readable code, the machine readable code executable by said processor configured to cause the server to serve a set of matchups of participants of an event, to the plurality of presentation devices, the plurality of presentation devices displaying the set of matchups on a display; receive over the wide area network data from the presentation devices characterizing a set of user selected winners of the matchups made by the users; update the event data pertinent to participants in the actual events; using the updated data to calculate and assign payoffs to the users based on the fixed payoff odds.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for embedding audio tones within content to cause one or more device actions. For example, systems of the present disclosure may allow for decoding of audio tones, applying one or more policies before authorizing device actions caused by audio tones, automatic monitoring for embedded audio tones, and automatic embedding of audio tones in content.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems and/or devices to calibrate a network time by acquisition of satellite positioning system (SPS) signals and different instances of time, and time-tagging SPS times according to the network time. In particular, the network time may be calibrated based, at least in part, on a first difference between first and second SPS times obtained at two SPS position fixes and a second difference between corresponding first and second time stamps.

Abstract: A networked computer arrangement and method in which a manufacturer or service provider may communicate to a plurality of traders the items, including goods and/or services, which may be available for purchase, the quantities of those available items, and any other conditions to be met for the purchase of the available items. Traders may apply guest bidder profiles or entitlement schema to the available goods lists to produce offerings for a plurality of guest brokers. Only bid-relevant product information is presented to each guest broker as needed in order to protect the offering party's overall position on the offered good(s). Guest broker profiles or entitlement schema may be based on perspective contractual arrangements between potential brokers, traders, and a manufacturer or service provider. Offerings are presented to the guest brokers, who are restricted from participating in the bidding process.

Abstract: A CPAP system includes a flow generator, a patient interface, an air delivery conduit that interconnects the flow generator and the patient interface, and a packaging arrangement including at least one storage facilitating member to allow storage of the air delivery conduit. The at least one storage facilitating member may be provided to the flow generator, a cradle, and/or the air delivery conduit.
