  • Publication number: 20220280739
    Abstract: There is provided a method of manufacturing a sealing member for a respiratory interface device. The method comprises the steps of: (a) providing a mould having a cavity, a polymer injection port and a gas inlet port; (b) injecting a polymer through the polymer injection port into the cavity of the mould; and (c) introducing gas through the gas inlet port into the cavity of the mould, to form a sealing member of the respiratory interface device, thereby forming a sealing member of the respiratory interface device. The sealing member of the respiratory interface device comprises an internal chamber at least partially bounded by a resiliently deformable enclosing wall formed of the polymer, the enclosing wall including a patient-contacting surface, the patient-contacting surface having a form that is determined by the cavity of the mould and provides an anatomical fit with a patient.

  • Publication number: 20210373881
    Abstract: In general, techniques are described by which to perform memory efficient patching for computing devices. A server computing device comprising a memory and a processor may be configured to perform the techniques. The memory may store first assets that form an unpatched application and second assets that form a patched application. The processor may virtualize the first assets to obtain a single first virtual asset and obtain a single second virtual asset that represents the second assets. The processor may obtain, based on differences between the single first virtual asset and the single second virtual asset, a patch identifying how to update the single first virtual asset to obtain the single second virtual asset. The processor may next segment the patch into a plurality of segments and output to a user computing device a single segment from the plurality of segments for individual application by the user computing device.

  • Patent number: 11182540
    Abstract: An electronic input document presented on a display of a client is examined to identify a text unit in the electronic input document and contextual information about the input document. A set of annotations for the text unit and the input document are determined responsive to the contextual information for the text unit. Responsive to the set of annotations, a set of candidate texts are identified from a corpus of documents that can replace the text unit. The candidate texts are evaluated in the set of candidate texts to identify a subset of the set of candidate texts as a set of replacement texts for the text unit. At least one replacement text from the set of replacement texts is presented on the display of the client.

  • Patent number: 11023503
    Abstract: A user can request suggestions for text to insert at a position in an electronic input document. A set of annotations is obtained from the input document and contextual information associated with the document. A set of candidate texts from source documents are identified for the suggested text and evaluated. Each evaluation may indicate a likelihood that the corresponding candidate text is suitable to insert at the requested position of the input document. One or more of the candidate texts are presented to the client device as the suggested text to insert at the requested position of the electronic document.

  • Patent number: 10897669
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide multi-layer microphone protection for any apparatus that captures sound. The apparatus includes an enclosure defining a first cavity. A microphone element is coupled to the first cavity. The microphone element comprises a microphone sensor and a microphone cavity. A first, outer protective layer is disposed at an outer end of the first cavity, closer to the external environment. A second, inner protective layer is disposed between an inner end of the first cavity and the microphone element. The second, inner protective layer may protect the microphone sensor from particles or liquids that may have passed through the first protective layer. The first and second layers may have different acoustic properties.
