  • Patent number: 12233212
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide for an inspiratory limb for a breathing circuit that includes a first segment that comprises a first heater wire circuit and a second segment that comprises a second heater wire circuit. The inspiratory limb can include an intermediate connector that includes a connection circuit that electrically couples the first heater wire circuit to the second heater wire circuit. The inspiratory limb can be configured to operate in two modes wherein, in a first mode, electrical power passes through the first electrical connection to provide power to the first heater wire circuit without providing power to the second heater wire circuit, and in a second mode, electrical power pass through the first electrical connection to provide power to both the first heater wire circuit and the second heater wire circuit.

  • Patent number: 11861718
    Abstract: Improved computer modeling techniques, and uses thereof, are described herein. A set of unstructured textual data is received. Certain textual data is removed from the set of unstructured data to form an initial vocabulary set of textual data. One or more bigrams are added to the vocabulary set of textual data to form a final vocabulary set of textual data. The final vocabulary set of textual data is divided into a plurality of subsets of textual data based on type. A model is trained using each of the plurality of subsets of textual data to form a plurality of trained models, each corresponding to one of the types.

  • Patent number: 11220809
    Abstract: The shower system has a heat exchanger located in compartment vertically adjacent to the wall of the shower space and closed off by an openable or removable panel. The heat exchanger comprising a helically winding heat exchange conduit with successive windings around a vertical axis in said compartment above the floor of the shower space. A pump coupled to the shower drain pumps warm water to a warm water feed of the heat exchanger, from where it is sprayed on a top winding of the heat exchange conduit. Tap water is fed to the shower head successively via the heat exchange conduit and a heater and/or a mixing element for mixing water from the heat exchanger with water from a supply input for external hot water.
