  • Publication number: 20210330921
    Abstract: A patient interface is configured to deliver pressurized breathable gas to a patient's airways and includes a flexible cushion forming at least a portion of a plenum chamber. A pair of flexible receptacles are integrally formed with the flexible cushion and are formed on opposite lateral sides of the flexible cushion. Each flexible receptacle includes an inner wall that forms an opening configured to receive an air delivery tube and an outer wall that is radially offset from the inner wall. The outer wall extends laterally beyond the inner wall on a posterior side of the flexible receptacle and does not extend laterally beyond the inner wall on an anterior side of the flexible receptacle. The patient interface further includes a gas washout vent, a support structure that is attached to and is more rigid than the flexible cushion, and a pair of headgear connectors located on opposing lateral sides of the support structure.

  • Patent number: 11126007
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a prism system is provided. The prism system includes a polarizing beam splitter (PBS) surface. The PBS surface is configured to generate first and second sub-beams having corresponding first and second polarization information from a received beam, the second polarization information being different than the first polarization information. A first optical path of the first sub-beam within the prism system has substantially same length as a second optical path of the second sub-beam within the prism system. Additionally or alternatively, the first sub-beam achieves a predetermined polarization extinction ratio.

  • Patent number: 11077272
    Abstract: A respiratory mask for use with a patient, and that is suited for use with children, includes a flexible cushion arranged to interface with and deliver air to the patient's nose. The cushion has a tube connection portion at one or both sides adjacent the patient's nares, the tube connection portion being arranged to connect to an air delivery tube. This location, plus the very low profile of the mask, allows a patient (e.g. an infant) to sleep on their face more comfortably. A more rigid support structure adjacent the cushion is provided to stabilize the cushion and prevent it from collapsing. Headgear is also provided and arranged for releasable attachment to the support structure.

  • Patent number: 11052476
    Abstract: A reciprocating saw includes a housing, a motor, and a drive mechanism. The motor is configured to operate in a forward mode corresponding to a first rotational direction, and in a reverse mode corresponding to a second rotational direction opposite the first rotational direction. The drive mechanism includes a driven gear, a connecting rod, an output shaft, and a counterweight. The driven gear is rotated by the motor and has an upper portion and a lower portion. The output shaft reciprocates through a cutting stroke and a return stroke. The counterweight is coupled to the driven gear and rotating with the driven gear. When the motor is operated in the forward mode, the counterweight moves through the upper portion of the driven gear during the cutting stroke of the output shaft, and moves through the lower portion of the driven gear during a return stroke of the output shaft.

  • Publication number: 20210107076
    Abstract: A reciprocating saw includes a housing, a motor, and a drive mechanism. The drive mechanism includes a driven gear that is rotated by the motor. The driven gear is vertically-oriented within the housing. The drive mechanism also includes a drive arm coupled to the driven gear to translate rotary motion of the driven gear into reciprocating motion, and an output shaft coupled to the drive arm to reciprocate relative to the housing along a spindle axis through a cutting stroke and a return stroke. The drive mechanism further includes a counterweight coupled to the driven gear for rotation with the driven gear. The counterweight moves toward the spindle axis during a start of the cutting stroke of the output shaft and moves away from the spindle axis during a start of the return stroke of the output shaft.

  • Publication number: 20210097547
    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for providing instructions when receiving biometric data associated with a user. For instance, a user-recognition device may detect a portion of a user, such as a hand. The user-recognition device may then display a first graphical element indicating a target location for placing the portion of the user above the user-recognition device. Additionally, the user-recognition device may determine locations of the portion of the user above the user-recognition device. The user-recognition device may then display a second graphical element indicating the locations, such as when the locations are not proximate to the target location. Additionally, the user-recognition device may display instructions for moving the portion of the user to the target location. Based on detecting that the location of the portion of the user is proximate to the target location, the user-recognition device may send data representing the portion of the user to a remote system.

  • Publication number: 20210077234
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for endodontic treatment of teeth provide effective cleaning of organic material (such as pulp and diseased tissue) from the root canal system. In an embodiment, a compressor system generates high pressure liquid (e.g., water) that flows through an orifice to produce a high-velocity collimated jet of liquid. The high-velocity jet is directed toward a surface of a tooth, for example, an exposed dentinal surface, and impingement of the jet onto the surface generates an acoustic wave that propagates throughout the tooth. The acoustic wave effectively detaches organic material from dentinal surfaces and tubules. The detached organic material is flushed from the root canal system by the liquid jet and/or by additional irrigation.

  • Publication number: 20200363433
    Abstract: The present disclosure teaches systems and methods of diagnosing and treating the distinct biologic components that contribute to chronic pain symptoms experienced by patients. A biologic sample is obtained from a patient. Levels of two or more biomarkers (e.g., methylmalonic acid, homocysteine, xanthurenic acid, 3-hydroxypropyl mercapturic acid (3-HPMA), pyroglutamate, hydroxymethylglutarate (HMG), quinolinic acid, kynurenine acid, 5-hydroxyindoleacetate (5-HIAA), vanilmandelate (VMA), and ethylmalonic acid) in the biologic sample are experimentally determined. Based on the existence of abnormal results in one or more biomarkers the patient is diagnosed as having the nerve health, oxidative stress, chronic inflammation pain, and/or neurotransmitter pain components to their chronic pain. Based on the resulting diagnoses administration of certain support compounds is directed.
