Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for High Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation therapy can include a therapy garment including a covering garment for dressing on a patient's torso, the covering garment including a pressurizable chamber defined between first and second layers. The pressurizable chamber is adapted to receive pressurized fluid to provide force of high frequency pressure oscillation to a patient's chest wall. The pressurizable chamber can be formed to define an outer profile shaped to correspond closely with the patient's rib cage profile to reduce transfer of force of high frequency chest oscillation to the patient's torso outside of the patient's rib cage profile.

Abstract: A high frequency chest wall oscillation therapy system includes an air pulse generator including control circuitry and a fluid chamber carrying a fluid. A motor is configured to generate compression and expansion of the fluid in the fluid chamber to generate pressurized fluid. A garment includes at least one fluid bladder defining a pressurizable chamber adapted to receive the pressurized fluid from the fluid chamber to provide a force of high frequency pressure oscillation to a patient's chest wall. A pressure sensor detects a pressure relating to the pressurized fluid in the fluid chamber. The control circuitry generates a pressure signal based on the pressure detected.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for high frequency chest wall oscillation (HFCWO) therapy can enhance expectoration by preferred impact to the user to encourage mucus dislodging, including by successive pressure imposition by a chest engagement device to provide HFCWO.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for High Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation therapy can include a therapy garment including a covering garment for dressing on a patient's torso, the covering garment including a bladder pocket defined between inward and outward layers, and a fluid bladder arranged within the bladder pocket. The fluid bladder can define a pressurizable chamber adapted to receive pressurized fluid to provide force of high frequency pressure oscillation to a patient's chest wall. The pressurizable chamber can be formed to define an outer profile shaped to correspond closely with the patient's rib cage profile to reduce transfer of force of high frequency chest oscillation to the patient's torso outside of the patient's rib cage profile.

Abstract: A therapy devise system includes therapy device with a sensor capable of detecting signals, a control system capable of processing the signals to determine a therapy protocol, and a user interface for assessing and updating the therapy protocol. The control system including a sensor is operable to receive a signal from the server, operable to process the signal to update the therapy device with a new therapy operation protocol. The user interface is operable to display more than one therapy operation protocol and includes a prompt for a user to update the therapy device with the new therapy operation protocol.

Abstract: A phenyl-containing compound, an intermediate thereof, a preparation method therefor and an application thereof. Provided is a compound represented by formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, where R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 are independently hydrogen, C1-C6 alkyl, C1-C6 alkoxy or C(?O)OR8; where R8 is C1-C4 alkyl; R6 is (II), (III) or (IV); and R7 is —OH, —NH2, —NHCH3, —N(CH3)2 or C1-4 alkoxy. The compound has a low critical micelle concentration (CMC) and good dilution resistance and is capable of enclosing an insoluble drug to form a small-molecule micelle having a high drug loading capacity and good stability.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a video processing apparatus, method, and system. In particular, in accordance with one embodiment, high-speed video is divided into at least two sub-videos having a frame rate lower than that of the input video, during which metadata for synchronization of the two sub-videos which corresponds to frames of each sub-video is generated, and inserted into the respective sub-videos for video processing in parallel. During the parallel processing of the sub-videos, the system monitors and controls the synchronization of the process and, upon completion of the sub-video processing, use the metadata to re-assemble the sub-videos into one high-speed video stream for output, the output video having the same frame rate as the received input video stream.
