Abstract: A system for providing continuous positive air pressure therapy is provided. The system includes a patient interface, a flow generator, a sensor, and a computing device. Wireless transceivers allow wireless communication between the computing device and the flow generator and/or patient interface. Sensor data is communicated to the computing device and a leak determination is made by the computing device based on the sensor data. If a leak is detected, then troubleshooting options for correcting the leak are displayed to the patient on a display of the computing device. The troubleshooting options may be selected based on the sensed data, the type of patient interface, the type of flow generator, or characteristics of the patient using the device.

Abstract: Apparatus and method of conducting a drilling operation are provided. One embodiment of the method includes drilling a borehole, predicting a value of a first parameter relating to the drilling of the borehole using a geomechanical model, estimating a value of a second parameter from measurements taken by a sensor, updating the geomechanical model based at least in part on the estimated value of the second parameter, predicting a second value of the first parameter using the updated geomechanical model, and altering a drilling parameter for drilling the borehole based on the predicted second value of the first parameter.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure relate to directing a flow from a borehole termination structure. Embodiments include a device for containing fluid flow from a borehole. The device includes an engagement body and a sealing member located within a cavity of the engagement body. The cavity is configured to receive a portion of a borehole termination structure extending from the borehole and to direct fluid from the borehole into a fluid conduit. The sealing member has a changeable shape configured to surround the borehole termination structure and to form a seal between an outer surface of the borehole termination structure and an inner surface of the body of the containment assembly based on the borehole termination structure being positioned within the cavity.

Abstract: The invention features methods and systems for treating inflammatory, proliferative skin disorders such as psoriasis, with ultraviolet phototherapy. The methods and systems use optical techniques to scan a patient's skin, designate areas of affected skin, and selectively deliver high doses of phototherapeutic ultraviolet radiation to the designated areas. To insure that only affected areas of skin affected are designated for the high doses of UV radiation, the methods and systems use one or more optical diagnostics that relate to independent physiological features of affected skin.
