Abstract: A respiratory mask includes a frame and a cushion module. The frame can include a front wall having a vent and/or a gas inlet opening and a collar extending away from the front wall. The collar surrounds the vent and/or the gas inlet opening. The cushion module comprises a cushion and a housing, which is made of a material more rigid than the cushion. The housing defines a connection opening. A friction coupling selectively couples the cushion module to the frame and comprises an elastomeric friction member coupled to a portion of the housing that defines the connection opening. In some arrangements, an outer surface of the friction member is exposed when the cushion module is coupled to the frame. In some arrangements, the housing extends through the peripheral surface.

Abstract: In some cases, a delivery service system may include a handheld electronic device for use with a delivery service (e.g., a grocery delivery service). When operating in a voice input mode, the handheld electronic device may record and store audio data in memory. The stored audio data may be communicated from the handheld electronic device (e.g., via a Wi-Fi connection) to the delivery service for speech processing. When operating in a scanner input mode, the handheld electronic device may record and store item identifier information (e.g., barcode data) in memory. The stored data may be communicated to the delivery service for item identification processing. In some cases, a user interface associated with the delivery service may allow the user to review and confirm an order prior to submission of the order for delivery.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method that includes depositing a first layer onto a substrate, depositing a second layer onto a surface of the first layer, and separating the substrate from the second layer, where the substrate includes a first III-V alloy, the second layer includes second III-V alloy, and the first layer includes a material that includes at least two of a Group 1A element, a Group 2A element, a Group 6A element, and/or a halogen.

Abstract: An electrode assembly for an electrosurgical instrument includes an active electrode and retainer arrangement that are inserted to a cavity of an insulator and then welded together to secure the active electrode in the insulator for use in tissue treatment. The active electrode and retainer are configured to interlock with at least one internal retention surface of the cavity. Once assembled in the cavity, both the active electrode and the retainer may have a portion that extends out of the cavity to protrude from the insulator. This allows opposing biasing forces to be exerted on the active electrode and the retainer respectively so as to push the two components against a retention surface within the cavity. When the active electrode and the retainer are welded together, any clearance with the retention surfaces inside the cavity, caused by variations between parts during the manufacturing process, is removed or at least minimized.

Abstract: A system and method for processing promotions in connection with digital purchasing. Data associated with a digital purchase request made by a consumer (the data comprising a token, an amount associated with the transaction, a promotional code for each item included in the digital purchase request associated with a promotion, a default transaction amount, and a single default promotional code) is received from a merchant server. The single default promotional code is assigned to all items included in the digital purchase request that are associated with promotions. Using the token, account information associated with the consumer is retrieved from a database. For each promotional code received, promotional information is retrieved. The retrieved promotional information is displayed. The digital purchase request is submitted for processing using the single default promotional code.

Abstract: A spray coating apparatus that applies a coating material onto outer surfaces of glass objects includes a coating material source that includes a coating material. A spray nozzle assembly includes a spray nozzle fluidly connected to the coating material source. The spray nozzle is arranged and configured to direct the coating material in a first direction toward the glass object and provide an overspray amount of the coating material by the glass object such that the overspray amount bypasses a non-line of sight area of the glass object. A turn nozzle assembly includes a turn nozzle fluidly connected to a pressurized gas source. The turn nozzle is arranged and configured to direct pressurized gas in a second direction different than the first direction toward the non-line of sight area of the glass package to redirect the coating material onto the non-line of sight area.

Abstract: Described herein are compositions and methods for identifying, selecting, or culturing cells comprising a subject nucleic acid sequence of interest. Generally, a nucleic acid comprising a subject nucleic acid and a sequence encoding an enzyme molecule involved in biosynthesis of an amino acid is introduced into a cell. The cell is then grown on media lacking the amino acid, such that cells comprising the introduced nucleic acid are capable of growth. In some instances, the cell further comprises an inhibitor of the enzyme molecule to increase the stringency of the selection.
