  • Publication number: 20240131287
    Abstract: A system and method to match an interface to the face of a user for respiratory therapy. A facial image of the user is stored. Facial features based on the facial image are determined. A database stores facial profiles based on facial features and a corresponding plurality of interfaces. A database stores operational data of respiratory therapy devices with the plurality of corresponding interfaces. A selection engine is coupled to the databases. The selection engine is operative to select an interface for the user from the plurality of corresponding interfaces based on a desired outcome based on the stored operational data and the facial features. The collected data may also be employed to determine whether the selected interface is correctly fitted to the face of the user.

  • Publication number: 20240108242
    Abstract: A method for determining how using a respiratory therapy system impacts sleep sessions of a user, includes receiving first activity information corresponding to actions of a user occurring prior to a use of the respiratory therapy system by the user. The first activity information includes activity information associated with use of a mobile device by the user prior to the use of the respiratory therapy system. The method also includes receiving second activity information corresponding to actions of the user occurring after the use of the respiratory therapy system. The second activity information includes activity information associated with use of the mobile device by the user after the use of the respiratory therapy system, as well as respiratory information generated by the respiratory therapy system during a sleep session of the user when using the respiratory therapy system.

  • Publication number: 20070294564
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for a storage system including at least two controllers configured to handle write requests and a non-volatile cache connected to both controllers that stores data received from the controllers. The non-volatile cache is accessible by the first and second controllers using an interface technology permitting two or more communication paths between a particular active controller and the non-volatile cache to be aggregated to form a higher data rate communication path. Additionally, a plurality of storage devices are each connected using the interface technology to each controller for storing data received from the controllers.
