Abstract: A modularized respiratory treatment apparatus provides various respiratory pressure treatments. The apparatus may be formed by discrete connectable modules such as a flow generator module, alarm module and/or humidifier module. Each module may include its own external casing or housing to independently retain or enclose the respective components that serve the function of the module. Different modules may be adapted with different components and functionalities and may be readily coupled using standardized gas and electrical connection configurations that have flow and communication paths that extend through the modules. When coupled, operation of the respiratory treatment apparatus may be controlled by detection of different modules, such as the alarm module that generates visual and/or audible alarms based on detected conditions, so as to selectively enable or disable different respiratory treatments.

Abstract: A reservoir configured to retain a volume of liquid for use in an apparatus for humidifying a flow of pressurised air comprises a base portion and a lid portion. The reservoir may be configured to improve its level of thermal contact to the heater plate using the flow of pressurised air. The reservoir may be configured to improve thermal contact between the reservoir and the heater plate by pre-compression upon engagement of the reservoir with the humidifier. The reservoir may comprise a removable intermediate portion, which may include the inlet tube and/or the outlet tube, for improved access for cleaning. The reservoir may also be configured to prevent overfilling. Overfill prevention features in the reservoir may include defined flow egress paths and/or formation of air locks.

Abstract: A system for generating actionable plant tasks from multiple operational data sources includes a computing device including an associated memory configured for receiving operational data associated with the plant from ?2 devices in the plant, where the operational data includes one or more alerts associated with problem(s) that have occurred at the plant. At least one numerical confidence value relating to a reliability is assigned to each operational data, at least one numerical importance value relating to importance is assigned to an operation of the plant to each operational data. The operational data is analyzed to determine correlations between different portions of the operational data, and based on the confidence values and the importance values at least one task associated with resolving the problem is determined, an action associated with the task is determined, and then an indication relating to the action is transmitted to another computing device.

Abstract: A system for analyzing operational data associated with a plant that has processing equipment configured and controlled to run a process involving at least one tangible material. Actual operational data corresponding to plant operations is received by a computing device that may relate to production, equipment, workforce, automation systems, safety, and/or cybersecurity of the plant. A model of the plant is generated based on the actual operational data, where the model indicates ideal plant operations including model operational data. The actual plant operational data and the model operational data are compared. Based on the operational data and the comparison of the operational data to model operational data, at least one recommendation for an action associated with the plant is determined.

Abstract: An air delivery system includes a controllable flow generator, a primary controller, and an auxiliary controller. The flow generator is operable to generate a supply of pressurized breathable gas to be provided to a patient for treatment. The primary controller is associated with at least one primary control feature to select at least a first aspect of operation of the flow generator. The auxiliary controller is associated with at least one auxiliary control feature to select at least a second aspect of operation of the flow generator. The second aspect selected by the auxiliary controller is different than the first aspect selected by the primary controller. The primary and auxiliary controllers may be interchangeably usable to control operation of the flow generator.
