Abstract: A patient interface assembly has a patient interface and a securement system for the patient interface and/or patient interface tubing. The patient interface has a body and at least one nasal prong extending from the body. The at least one nasal prong has a gas inlet for fluid communication with a supply of breathable gas, and a gas outlet configured to direct a flow of gas towards a nare of the user's nose. The at least one nasal prong further includes an exterior surface, at least a portion of the exterior surface is a sealing surface configured to seal the nare of the user's nose. The securement system has a two-part releasable attachment or connection arrangement, the arrangement comprising a first patch and a second patch.

Abstract: A patient interface, such as a nasal cannula is described. The patient interface has a body portion to be located, in-use upon a face of a user. The body portion has at least one side arm that extends laterally from a central bridge portion to be located about a user's septum region, where each side arm is connected to a resilient, or relatively more rigid, bridge portion element. The interface has at least one, and preferably a pair of, nasal prong(s). The body portion has at least one fluid passageway connected to the nasal prong(s) for supply of a gas to the nare(s) of the user's nose. A cross section of the passageway varies along the length of the body portion to regions of varying flexibility along the body portion. The bridge portion element defines a substantially predetermined spatial relationship for outlet(s) of a gas delivery system supplying gas via each side arm to the outlet(s) from which, for example, the nasal prong(s) may be provided in fluid connection.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for echoing media via a mobile device are disclosed herein. According to an embodiment, the method can include displaying automatically to a user, on the mobile device, a list of one or more respective identifiers of one or more other users experiencing respective media within a selectable geographic area.
