Abstract: A respiratory interface system for use in delivering a flow of a positive pressure breathing gas to an airway of a patient that includes a patient interface device with a tubing assembly structured to be disposed on the head of the patient, a mask having a sealing element structured to sealingly engage about the airway of the patient, and an adaptor. The adapter includes a flange portion that extends generally radially outward from a central aperture and a hollow male connector extending from the flange portion and coupled with a correspondingly-shaped female connector of the tubing assembly or the mask. The mask is coupled to the tubing assembly via the adaptor, and the tubing assembly, the mask, and the adapter define a pathway structured to conduct the flow of the positive pressure breathing gas to the airway of the patient.

Abstract: A vehicle interface docking system for dedicated short range communication equipped user device in a vehicle. The vehicle interface docking system includes a cradle mount mountable to the vehicle within line of sight of an operator. The cradle mount retains the dedicated short range communication equipped user device. The system further includes an antenna operably connectable with the dedicated short range communication equipped user device, a power source operably connectable with the dedicated short range communication equipped user device, a communications interface providing a communications pathway between the dedicated short range communications equipped user device and a controller area network of the vehicle and the antenna, and a central processing unit executing a vehicle-to-everything program.

Abstract: A piezoelectric foaming pump is provided herein. The piezoelectric foaming pump includes a housing having a first opening for receiving a liquid from a liquid container and a piezoelectric element secured to the housing. The piezoelectric element includes a plurality of holes there through. In addition, the housing includes an air inlet. Although the piezoelectric element has holes there through, prior to activating the piezoelectric element, liquid does not pass through the plurality of holes. When the piezoelectric element is energized, liquid passes through the plurality of holes due to the rapid vibration of the piezoelectric element and is dispensed as a foam. Additionally, a piezoelectric foaming pump having a fluid pump chamber; an air pump chamber; a mixing chamber; a piezoelectric element; and an outlet nozzle is disclosed herein.

Abstract: Personal dispensers include collapsible containers that are associated with pump mechanisms for dispensing fluid from within the collapsible containers. The pump mechanisms are preferable selectively operable to dispense a unit dose of fluid. The collapsible containers are sealed such that they lose volume as fluid is dispensed. Clips and housing members for holding and wearing the personal dispensers are also provided.

Abstract: A method for electronically resolving a discrepancy arising in a clinical data management system is provided. The discrepancy is converted, using a conversion map, from a back-end format, used to store a clinical value corresponding to the discrepancy, into a front-end format that is compatible with a front-end study definition. The discrepancy is then transferred, while in the front-end format, to a front-end site where the clinical value associated with the discrepancy was first entered. A discrepancy response is received from the front-end site. When the discrepancy response resolves the discrepancy, the discrepancy response is stored in the clinical data management system, thereby resolving the discrepancy.

Abstract: Dispensing systems are disclosed which utilize electronically powered key devices and/or identification codes associated with a refill container to preclude the need for mechanical keys. A first embodiment of the device utilizes a matching code stored in a radio frequency identification tag or bar code associated with a fluid refill container and an identification code associated with the dispenser housing. Matching of the codes by a controller allows for continued use of the dispenser via some type of operational mechanism. Another embodiment employs a key which carries the matching code wherein matching of the codes allows for actuation of a motor actuated pumping device. Yet another embodiment employs a blocking mechanism to prevent use of a dispenser's push bar if a key and dispenser housing do not have matching codes. And yet another embodiment requires the use of a key that has a matching code that matches the dispenser's identification code in order to permit initial access to the dispenser housing.

Abstract: A container holder assembly for removably receiving a product dispensing container having a flexible nozzle spout includes a wall-mounting back plate having a longitudinal axis and a container holder for receipt of the dispensing container hingedly attached to the back plate. The container holder has a through central bore for receipt of the dispensing container and the longitudinal axis of that bore is disposed at an angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the back plate so that the container, when inserted, is disposed at an angle with regard to that axis and with regard to any vertical surface supporting the back plate. The product dispensing container is inserted into the container holder in an inverted condition so that the flexible nozzle projects below the container holder whereby, when the container holder is moved toward the back plate, the nozzle will contact a portion of the back plate and be deflected to dispense product.

Abstract: A back-end clinical definition is designed using a back-end clinical data management system (CDMS). The back-end clinical definition is automatically converted into a Remote Data Entry (front-end) study definition. The front-end study definition is transferred to a remote computer hosting a front-end RDE product where it is used to regulate the acquisition of clinical data. During the back-end clinical definition to front-end study definition conversion process, a conversion map is created. The conversion map allows for the automated conversion of clinical data acquired using the front-end RDE product to a format that can be read by the back-end CDMS. Clinical data is retrieved from remote computers hosting a front-end RDE product in an automated manner without manual back-end clinical definition/front-end study definition conflict resolution.
