Abstract: A method and system for automated and semi-automated predictable, consistent, safe, effective, and lumen-specific and patient-specific cryospray treatment of airway tissue in which treatment duration is automatically set by the system following entry of patient information and treatment location information into the system by the user, and treatment spray is automatically stopped by the system when the automatically selected treatment duration has been achieved as determined by the system.

Abstract: The systems, devices, and methods described herein relate to providing breathing gas to a patient using a base unit and an auxiliary unit configured to be removably disposed on or at least partially in the base unit. The base unit has several couplings for improved control and sensing of the auxiliary unit and its components, wherein the couplings are configured to be non-contact with the corresponding components of the auxiliary unit and/or otherwise configured to minimize operational defects or improve efficiency. Non-contact couplings include induction heating, capacitive level sensing, a magnetically coupled rotor pump, RFID tag and reader, and Hall effect sensing. The breathing gas can be provided at high velocities by setting breathing gas flowrates based on dimensions of a nasal cannula used to direct the breathing gas into a patient's nares.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for control of humidification of a breathing gas for respiratory therapy. Control of humidification is provided by inverse adjustment of liquid flowrate, and this technique allows the user to adjust humidity independent of other therapy parameters such as gas temperature and gas flowrate.

Abstract: A method and system for automated and semi-automated predictable, consistent, safe, effective, and lumen-specific and patient-specific cryospray treatment of airway tissue in which treatment duration is automatically set by the system following entry of patient information and treatment location information into the system by the user, and treatment spray is automatically stopped by the system when the automatically selected treatment duration has been achieved as determined by the system.

Abstract: This application is directed to a display assistant device that acts as a voice-activated user interface device. The display assistant device includes a base, a screen and a speaker. The base is configured for sitting on a surface. The screen has a rear surface and is supported by the base at the rear surface. A bottom edge of the screen is configured to be held above the surface by a predefined height, and the base is substantially hidden behind the screen from a front view of the display assistant device. The speaker is concealed inside the base and configured to project sound substantially towards the front view of the display assistant device.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to the field of energy transfer mapping, including fixtures with two-dimensional and three-dimensional sensor arrays. In particular, the present disclosure relates to devices and methods for mapping of energy transfer from and/or to an instrument inserted within and/or into body tissue, including the depths and patterns of penetration and/or amounts of energy transfer to and/or from an instrument delivered within biological tissue or materials that mimic biological tissue, including within fixtures with three-dimensional temperature sensor arrays configured to simulate anatomical geometries such as the gastrointestinal (GI) or respiratory tract.
