Abstract: A data processing system with a dataset multiplexer that enables applications to be written to specify access to datasets as operations on logical datasets. During execution of an application by the data processing system, the physical dataset used for performing data access operations may be selected based on current context. Current context may be specified based on values of system parameters and/or user specified values. The physical dataset accessed may be identified by selecting a record from multiple records in a dataset catalog associated with the logical dataset. Each record includes information to access a physical dataset associated with the selected record and context information to indicate the context in which the specific physical dataset is to be selected.

The storefront pickup system provides a thermal break between an exterior and an interior of the building, allowing ordered items such as food and beverages to travel through the storefront. The storefront pickup system includes a storage compartment having a rear door assembly providing access to the storage compartment from an interior of the building, and a front door assembly providing access to the storage compartment from an exterior of the building.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to safety devices and systems for light mobility vehicles. In one example, a light mobility vehicle safety system includes one or more sensors and a processor coupled to a light mobility vehicle. The processor may be configured to determine that the light mobility vehicle is part of a group of two or more light mobility vehicles; determine a position of the light mobility vehicle relative to one or more other light mobility vehicles in the group; determine one or more relevant sensors of the one or more sensors based on the position of the light mobility vehicle and positioning of the one or more sensors on the light mobility vehicle; receive first relevant safety-related data from the one or more relevant sensors; and transmit the first relevant safety-related data to one or more other light mobility vehicles in the group.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, apparatus and systems for treating a respiratory disorder in a patient. The apparatus comprises a pressure generator configured to generate a flow of air so as to provide ventilatory support to the patient; a transducer configured to generate a flow signal representing a property of the flow of air; and a controller configured to analyse the flow signal to estimate the inspiratory volume and the expiratory volume of a breath of the patient and servo-control the degree of ventilatory support to adjust an estimated tidal volume toward a target tidal volume. A gain of the servo-control is dependent on a difference between the estimated inspiratory volume and the estimated expiratory volume. The method comprises operating an apparatus or system in a similar manner.

Abstract: Disclosed are apparatus, systems and devices for providing modular connectivity to a respiratory therapy device. Certain forms relate to an apparatus for supplying a flow of breathable gas at positive pressure for respiratory therapy comprising a pressure generator in a housing, at least one electrical connector to connect to a connectivity module, and a cavity for receiving the connectivity module. Different forms of connectivity module may be provided. This allows for flexibility of connectivity in a respiratory device while allowing for simple installation and removal of the connectivity module.

Abstract: A method of an apparatus control pressure in the patient interface. A vent valve may be used with a respiratory device, where the vent valve may selectively block fluid communication between components, such as the flow generator, the patient interface, and/or the vent. An expiratory flow model may be used to determine an expiratory characteristic such as an expiratory flow rate or pressure in the patient interface where an indicative measure may not be available. The expiratory flow model may receive inputs based on a measure of the patient's respiration, such as the tidal volume, peak inspiratory flow rate or length of inspiration. The expiratory characteristic may be used by a controller to control a pressure in the patient interface to provide respiratory therapy to a patient at or close to a target pressure.

Abstract: A portable sink assembly for includes a cube that is positionable in a sleeper of a semi tractor be accessible to a driver. A sink is recessed into the cube to contain water and a faucet is removably coupled to the cube. The faucet is directed into the sink to direct the water into the sink. A pump is positioned in the cube, the pump is fluidly coupled between a water source and the faucet for pumping the water to the faucet. A valve is coupled to the pump and the valve is actuatable between a minimum flow rate and a maximum flow rate. In this way the valve adjusts the volume of water delivered to the pump between a minimum amount and a maximum amount thereby facilitating the flow rate of the faucet to be adjusted.
