Abstract: A method is provided. The method comprises: obtaining, by a processing system and using a set of rotation electrodes that interact with the knob interface, first resulting signals and second resulting signals; determining, by the processing system, an initial state of the knob interface using the first resulting signals and the second resulting signals; obtaining, by the processing system and using the set of rotation electrodes, third resulting signals indicating a first rotational state of the knob interface, based at least in part on the knob interface being rotated from the initial state to the first rotational state; determining, by the processing system, the rotational direction of the knob interface using the first resulting signals, the second resulting signals, and the third resulting signals; and adjusting, by the processing system, a setting using the determined rotational direction.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a dry powder composition of treprostinil prodrugs and a method of treating pulmonary hypertension (e.g., pulmonary arterial hypertension), portopulmonary hypertension, or pulmonary fibrosis in a patient in need thereof. The dry powder composition includes (a) from about 0.1 wt % to about 3 wt % of a compound of Formula (I): or an enantiomer, diastereomer, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, (b) from about 0.01 wt % to about 3 wt % of DSPE-PEG2000, (c) from about 10 wt % to about 50 wt % of leucine, and the balance being (d) a sugar selected from the group consisting of trehalose and mannitol. The entirety of (a), (b), (c), and (d) is 100 wt %, and R1 is tetradecyl, pentadecyl, hexadecyl, heptadecyl, or octadecyl. The method includes administering an effective amount of the dry powder composition to the lungs of the patient by inhalation via a dry powder inhaler. In certain compositions and methods provided herein, R1 is hexadecyl, e.g., linear hexadecyl.
