Abstract: A humidification system can include a heater base, a humidification chamber, and a breathing circuit. A cartridge can be removably coupled to the heater base. The cartridge can include various sensors, probes, sensor wire connectors, heater wire connectors, and/or other features. The cartridge can include features configured to mate with corresponding features on the humidification chamber and the heater base. The cartridge includes a memory, such as an EEPROM, or other suitable storage device. When the cartridge is installed on the heater base, the memory is electrically connected to a processor and/or memory of the heater base. Various models of cartridges can be produced for use with different humidification chambers, breathing circuits, and/or therapies. A connector can be configured to couple an inspiratory conduit to an outlet port of the humidification chamber. The connector can provide a pneumatic connection to the outlet port and an electrical connection to the cartridge.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for use in facilitating fund transfers between source accounts and destination accounts. One exemplary method includes capturing a computer-readable indicia representative of: a destination account identifier specific to a destination account of a first party and a name of the first party associated with the destination account and, in response to the captured indicia, displaying the name of the first party as a confirmation that the first party is associated with the destination account. The method also includes identifying a source account identifier associated with a source account based on a selection of the source account or on the source account being a default account, and compiling and transmitting a transfer request for a fund transfer based on: the destination account identifier, the source account identifier associated with the identified source account, and a payment amount for the fund transfer.

Abstract: An electronic device and a method performed in an electronic device for managing the power limit of a battery of a vehicle. The method including obtaining a first State of Health value of the battery at a first time, obtaining a second State of Health value of the battery at a second time, determining a rate of change of State of Health value of the battery, determining a power value by calculating a function that is dependent on the rate of change of State of Health of the battery and adjusting the power limit of the battery to the determined power value for managing the life time of the battery.

Abstract: A battery thermal management system for a vehicle having a drivetrain. The thermal management system includes: a high-voltage propulsion battery, a waste-heat source of the vehicle drivetrain, and a battery heating circuit configured for circulating a battery coolant. The battery heating circuit includes a pipe being routed in the vicinity of, and spaced-apart from, the waste-heat source and configured for conveying the battery coolant for enabling the battery coolant within the pipe to heat-up by heat-radiation emitted from the waste-heat source and/or heat-convection through air from the waste-heat source to the battery coolant, and the battery heating circuit is configured for conveying the heated battery coolant to the battery for enabling heating of the battery by the battery coolant.
