Abstract: A ventilation system for ventilation of a patient includes a patient interface device for attaching to the patient and a measuring and analysis device for measuring and analyzing breathing of the patient. The measuring and analysis device includes a connector housing defining a passage. A first portion of the connector housing is connected to the patient interface device. The measuring and analysis device further includes an air flow sensor and a pressure sensor disposed in the connector housing for measuring an air flow rate through the connector housing and a pressure in the connector housing respectively. The present device also includes a processor configured for data acquisition, data storage, data processing, and data output based on the air flow rate and the pressure, whereby the ventilation system is operable with real-time feedback based on the data output. A method for administering cardiopulmonary resuscitation is also provided.

Abstract: The technology described herein is directed to a food assembly and packaging robot for automating aspects of food assembly and packaging. The food assembly and packaging robot system may include a robot system include a conveyance system, a bowl dispenser, one or more food dispensers, one or more condiment dispensers, a lidder, and a bagger, and in some instances, other components. The bowl dispenser may be configured to deposit bowls onto the conveyance system. The one or more food dispensers may be configured to deposit one or more ingredients into the bowls and the one or more condiment dispensers may be configured to deposit one or more condiments into the bowls. The lidder may be configured to position lids atop the bowls and the bagger may be configured to place the bowls into bags.

Abstract: A feedback providing facial mask is provided. The mask includes a facial adaptive component including a deformable member embedded in an interior region of the facial adaptive component and circuits, each of the circuits being operable in an open-circuit state or a closed-circuit state. The mask also includes a battery, light elements coupled to the battery and positioned within the deformable member, and sensors positioned at a plurality of locations within the deformable member. The sensors are connected to one of the light elements, wherein each of the circuits include the battery, one of the light elements, and at least one of the plurality of sensors, and wherein one or more of the circuits change from operating in the open-circuit state to the closed-circuit state in response o the one or more of the sensors contacting skin on an object that is external to the mask.
