Abstract: A humidification system for delivering humidified gases to a user can include a heater base, humidification chamber having an inlet, outlet, and associated fluid conduit, and breathing circuit including a supply conduit, inspiratory conduit, and optional expiratory conduit. The humidification system can include various features to help make set-up less difficult and time-consuming. For example, the supply conduit, inspiratory conduit, and optional expiratory conduit can be coupled into a one-piece circuit to aid set-up. Various components can be color-coded and can have corresponding structures to indicate which components should be connected to one another during set-up. Such features can also help make the set-up process more intuitive for an operator, which can reduce the need for specialized training and reduce the number of potential errors.

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.

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: A method of operating a vehicle climate system when an ambient temperature is below a threshold temperature is provided. In response to an ambient temperature being less than a threshold temperature, a controller is adapted to operate a blower motor at a voltage that depends on whether the vehicle is in charge sustain mode or charge deplete mode. In response to an ambient temperature being greater than a threshold temperature, the controller is adapted to operate the blower motor at a voltage that does not depend on whether in the charge sustain or charge deplete modes.

Abstract: A card reader prevents a magnetic read head of the card reader from being able to read a magnetic strip of a card and forces the card reader to read card data from an embedded chip of the card instead of the magnetic strip. An electromagnetic noise interference signal is generated and is maintained within the card reader. The signal prevents a magnetic read head of the card reader and any skimmer present within the card reader from reading the magnetic strip of the card. In an embodiment, the signal is generated and maintained as long as the card reader is powered on. In an embodiment, the signal is generated when at least one sensor of the card reader detects a presence of the card proximate to a card slot of the card reader, within the card slot, or within the card reader adjacent to the magnetic read head.

Abstract: Disclosed is an autonomous vacuum system that detects and responds to obstructions in a cleaning channel of the vacuum. Pressure sensors repeatedly measure pressure at different points in the cleaning channel, and the autonomous vacuum system analyzes the pressure measurements to determine whether an obstruction is likely present. Such a determination may be made based on, e.g., computed pressure differentials across the pressure sensors, and/or pressures of individual pressures sensors. The autonomous vacuum system can respond to the detection of an obstruction by, for example, performing a change in vacuum speed, such as ramping up to or near a maximum speed, and then decreasing again to a more normal speed.

Abstract: An autonomous vacuum includes mopping and sweeping functionalities. A magnetic locking system secures a cleaning head of the autonomous vacuum into a mopping position when in a mopping state, allowing the vacuum to move a mop roller back and forth to scrub stubborn stains on a floor surface without the cleaning head shifting into an alternate sweeping position. The autonomous vacuum also includes snorkel ducts to direct fluid waste and water from the mop roller to a waste bag without mixing the fluid waste with dry waste collected by a sweeping system. The snorkel ducts are configured to kink shut when the cleaning head is in a sweeping state, to avoid unnecessary suction through the snorkel system. Additionally, the mopping system includes cleaning logic routines that can sense and control mop roller saturation and drying, and that can perform automatic mop cleaning.

Abstract: A cleaning system may have a brush roller that moves dust and debris towards a duct opening for collection. The cleaning system may be an autonomous vacuum robot or include an autonomous vacuum robot. The cleaning system may include guards that reduce the likelihood that fibrous debris wraps around rotating portions of the brush roller (e.g., around a drive pinion). Buffer zones in the brush roller may receive fibrous debris that would otherwise wrap around the brush roller and increase undesirable friction during operation. The brush roller is configured to be unlocked from a position contacting the inner surface of a cleaning head of the cleaning system. The fibrous debris stored in the buffer zones may be suctioned into a debris collection compartment of the cleaning system after the brush roller is unlocked. The cleaning system includes a wedge to seal a cavity for ingesting debris within the cleaning head from the environment.

Abstract: An articulable wrist for an end effector includes a first linkage, a second linkage rotatably coupled to the first linkage at a first articulation joint, and a flexible member extending at least partially through a central channel cooperatively defined by the first and second linkages. A first pivot guide is rotatably coupled to the second linkage at the first articulation joint and rotatable about a first pivot axis extending through the first articulation joint, the first pivot guide defining a central aperture alignable with the central channel and sized to accommodate the flexible member therethrough. The first pivot guide supports an outer diameter of the flexible member at the first articulation joint and prevents the flexible member from flexing beyond the first pivot axis during articulation.
