  • Patent number: 11865267
    Abstract: A control system provides automated control of gas washout of a patient interface, such as a mask or nasal prongs. A gas washout vent assembly of the system may include a variable exhaust area, such as one defined by gears, radial exhaust revolvers and/or flow diverters for a conduit having a variable gas passage channel. The vent assembly may be attached substantially near or included with the patient interface. An actuator of the assembly, such as a solenoid, motor or voice coil, manipulates the vent assembly. The actuator may be configured for control by a processor to change the exhaust area of the vent assembly based on various methodologies including, for example, sleep detection, disordered breathing event detection and/or leak detection.

  • Patent number: 11868943
    Abstract: In a method of identifying a metric associated with a business, a computer system associated with the business, recognizes a first user associated with a first communication device and a second user associated with a second communication device, where the first user is recognized as a customer of the business and the second user is recognized as an employee of the business. The computer system observes a communication between the first communication device and the second communication device, where at least a portion of the communication is an audible communication. The computer system identifies the metric based on the communication between the employee and the customer. The computer system makes the metric available for decision making purposes.

  • Publication number: 20240000720
    Abstract: An abuse deterrent and misuse deterrent transdermal patch comprising aversive agents incorporated in the backing layer of the patch. The aversive agents can exhibit biphasic or sustained kinetics of release with an immediate portion released rapidly and an extended portion released in a prolonged manner when exposed to a dissolution medium. The prolonged aversive agent release provides deterrence against extraction of drug from fresh and used patches and serves to prevent accidental misuse of used patches by children. The abuse deterrent and misuse deterrent patch systems can be used for transdermal delivery of therapeutically active agents and particularly those drugs that are highly prone to abuse such as opiate and opioid analgesics and stimulants.
