Abstract: A patient interface including a plenum chamber, a first seal-forming structure for forming a seal around the patient's mouth, and a second seal-forming structure for forming a seal around the patient's nares. The patient interface further includes at least one stopper rib disposed in the cavity of the plenum chamber spaced apart from the first seal-forming structure in a rest position. The first seal-forming structure configured to contact the at least one stopper rib in an operational position. The at least one stopper rib configured to oppose compression of the first seal-forming structure in an anterior direction. The second seal-forming structure is not configured to contact the at least one stopper rib.

Abstract: A text communication management system is provided that receives, analyzes, and enforces recipient actions regarding phone-based text communications. The text communication management system can obtain recipient action data regarding a recipient's action with respect to a particular text communication, and enforce the recipient action with respect to future text communications. The management system can also or alternatively analyze the recipient action data in connection with recipient action data from multiple other recipients to generate a model for use in determining whether future phone-based text communications should be permitted, determining the likelihood that such communications will cause recipients to opt-out, and the like.

Abstract: Provided herein are agonistic antibodies, or antigen binding portions thereof, that bind to human CD40 and comprise improved heavy and light chain variable regions that impart improved yield and reduced aggregation. The invention also provides methods of treatment of cancer or chronic infection by administering the antibodies of the invention to a subject in need thereof.

Abstract: The adjustable diameter pipe grabber is configured for use with a pipe. The adjustable diameter pipe grabber is a mechanical device. The adjustable diameter pipe grabber captures the pipe for transport. The adjustable diameter pipe grabber engages the pipe from the interior surface of the pipe. The adjustable diameter pipe grabber comprises a tube and a capture structure. The tube contains the capture structure. The tube inserts into the pipe. The capture structure is a spring-loaded device. The capture structure applies pressure to the interior surface of the pipe such that the friction between the capture structure and the interior surface of the pipe allows the adjustable diameter pipe grabber to capture and move the pipe.

Abstract: A battery housing includes a contact cage forming a longitudinal cylindrical enclosure having a lateral opening. A leaf spring is included having first and second compressible ends, in which the first end is received by the contact cage through the lateral opening. A longitudinal insulating cup is also included having opposing cylindrical openings, in which the second compressible end of the leaf spring is received by the insulating cup through one of the cylindrical openings. The leaf spring forms a positive terminal in the battery housing and is held in position by the contact cage and the insulating cup.

Abstract: Certain compositions provide excellent repellency, durability, and soil/stain release properties when applied to a textile or fabric. Such compositions may include: a repellent component, a hydrophilic resin component, a soil release component; and a crosslinking component. A method for applying such compositions to textiles also is disclosed.

Abstract: A nail polish applicator includes a propellant container, a nozzle and an actuator. The propellant container extends along a longitudinal axis and contains a nail polish under pressure. The nozzle is coupled to the container and has an outlet. The actuator is configured to selectively dispense the nail polish through the nozzle. The nozzle is configured to dispense the nail polish along a dispensing axis substantially parallel or coextensive with the longitudinal axis of the container.
