Abstract: A respiratory treatment device having an inlet configured to receive exhaled air into the device, an outlet configured to permit exhaled air to exit the device, a valve moveable in response to a threshold exhalation pressure at the inlet between a closed position where the flow of air from the inlet to the outlet is restricted, and an open exhalation position where the flow of air from the inlet to the outlet is less restricted, and a valve brace configured to support the valve, wherein a position of the valve brace relative to the valve is selectively adjustable to increase or decrease the threshold exhalation pressure.

Abstract: A laundry appliance includes a cabinet defining an aperture in a front surface thereof. A drum is disposed within the cabinet. The drum defines an access opening that aligns with the aperture. A door is coupled to the cabinet and is operable between closed and opened positions relative to the aperture. A bellows extends along a perimeter of the aperture and proximate the access opening. A deflector extends along at least a portion of the perimeter of the aperture. The deflector extends into an interior of the drum over the bellows.

Abstract: A laundry appliance includes a cabinet that has a front panel. A tub is positioned within the cabinet. A door is coupled to the front panel of the cabinet. The door moves vertically between a closed position and an opened position. A bellows assembly is coupled to the front panel. The bellows assembly extends between the cabinet and the tub. A sealing assembly includes a first seal and a second seal that are each coupled to the bellows assembly.

Abstract: A combination washer/dryer appliance is described that includes a tub mounted within an appliance housing and a drum rotatably supported within the tub. A seal assembly that closes an air gap between a rear drum wall and a rear tub wall is mounted to the drum. The seal assembly includes a resilient flap and a travel limiter, which limits the amount of deflection of the resilient flap, thereby defining a maximum deflection limit for the resilient flap.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for making 1,4-butanediol. The process may include reacting a solution comprising 1,4-butynediol with hydrogen in a presence of an effective amount of a catalyst. The catalyst may include copper.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include a method for acquiring, with a device, a plurality of electrical signals from a brain of a subject, and determining whether a biomarker is present in the plurality of electrical signals. The biomarker comprises at least one phase metric associated with the electrical signal, and further includes adjusting at least one therapy parameter based on biomarker assessment.

Abstract: In a method for using a smart link to access a digital resource, a smart link access request is received from an electronic device interacting with a smart link, wherein a smart link provides access to at least one destination digital resource of a plurality of destination digital resources associated with the smart link. The at least one destination digital resource to access is determined based at least on the smart link access request. The electronic device is directed to the determined at least one destination digital resource.

Abstract: A compound includes a polysaccharide moiety and one or more chelating agents. The one or more chelating agents are covalently bonded to the polysaccharide moiety. The polysaccharide moiety can include a glycosaminoglycan moiety, such as a hyaluronic acid polymer or a sulfated glycosaminoglycan moiety. The compound can be used to treat or prevent a disease or disorder in a patient with a metal implant. The compound reduces a concentration of metal particulates or metal ions in the subject.

Abstract: In a computer-implemented method for generating a privacy compliant audit log for a conversational interface, a request for information from a user is received at a conversational interface. A response to the request for information is generated, the response including data responsive to the request for information. It is determined whether the response comprises private user data. An audit log including the request and information related to the response is generated, where the information related to the response does not include the private user data.

Abstract: In a method for using a smart link to access a digital resource, a smart link access request is received from an electronic device interacting with a smart link, wherein a smart link provides access to at least one destination digital resource of a plurality of destination digital resources associated with the smart link. The at least one destination digital resource to access is determined based at least on the smart link access request. The electronic device is directed to the determined at least one destination digital resource.

Abstract: In a computer-implemented method for name type identification, a list of names is received. A probability that each name of the list of names is one of a given name and a surname is determined. Each name of the list of names is determined as one of a given name and a surname based on the probability. Entities of the list of names are determined based on the identifying each name of the list of names as one of a given name and a surname, wherein an entity includes one of a given name, a surname, and a given name/surname combination.
