  • Patent number: 12527930
    Abstract: A respiratory treatment device having an inlet configured to receive exhaled air into the device, an outlet configured to permit exhaled air to exit the device, a valve moveable in response to a threshold exhalation pressure at the inlet between a closed position where the flow of air from the inlet to the outlet is restricted, and an open exhalation position where the flow of air from the inlet to the outlet is less restricted, and a valve brace configured to support the valve, wherein a position of the valve brace relative to the valve is selectively adjustable to increase or decrease the threshold exhalation pressure.

  • Patent number: 12487587
    Abstract: Techniques and systems for performing a perception analysis for a robotic stowing operation are described. An example technique includes obtaining, via multiple sensors, multiple first images, wherein each first image is an image of a different container of an inventory holder within a robotic workcell. A first machine learning (ML) and image processing pipeline is performed with the first images to determine displacement locations for the containers of the inventory holder. A second ML and image processing pipeline is performed with the first images to determine content signatures for the containers. A plan is generated for stowing a first item into a first container, based at least in part on the plurality of content signatures and the plurality of displacement locations. A robotic apparatus is controlled to stow the first item into the first container, based on the plan.

  • Publication number: 20240285884
    Abstract: A respiratory treatment device comprising at least one chamber, a chamber inlet configured to receive air into the at least one chamber, at least one chamber outlet configured to permit air to exit the at least one chamber, and a flow path defined between the chamber inlet and the at least one chamber outlet. A restrictor member positioned in the flow path is moveable between a closed position, where a flow of air along the flow path is restricted, and an open position, where the flow of air along the flow path is less restricted. A vane in fluid communication with the flow path is operatively connected to the restrictor member and is configured to reciprocate between a first position and a second position in response to the flow of air along the flow path.

  • Patent number: 11529480
    Abstract: An oscillating positive expiratory pressure device comprising a housing enclosing at least one chamber, a chamber inlet configured to receive exhaled air into the at least one chamber, and a chamber outlet configured to permit exhaled air to exit the at least one chamber. A channel is positioned in an exhalation flow path between the chamber inlet and the chamber outlet, with the channel being movably connected to a chamber of the at least one chamber. An air flow regulator is movable with respect to the channel between a first position, where the flow of air through the channel is restricted and a second position, where the flow of air through the channel is less restricted, the air flow regulator being configured to repeatedly move between the first position and the second position in response to a flow of exhaled air.
