  • APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SELECTING POSITIVE AIRWAY PRESSURE MASK INTERFACE
    Publication number: 20240216632
    Abstract: Embodiments of the positive airway pressure (PAP) mask fitting system and method provide a PAP mask fitting process to a specific patient that is as automatic as possible and that returns the patient the most appropriate PAP mask fit. The PAP mask fitting is done in a relatively quick manner. Once a PAP mask fitting has identified a preferred PAP mask for the patient, an appropriate PAP mask can be ordered on demand and is quickly, and possibly immediately, provided to the patient.

  • Manufacturing byproduct collection systems and methods
    Patent number: 10377007
    Abstract: A byproduct collection system is configured to collect byproducts of a manufacturing operation on a workpiece. The byproduct collection system includes a collection shroud defining a collection chamber, and a securing mount coupled to the collection shroud. The securing mount is configured to removably secure the byproduct collection system to a surface of the workpiece so that the collection shroud is proximate to a working location of the workpiece during a working operation on the workpiece.
