    摘要: Apparatus and methods provide control for generation of a flow of air to a patient's airways for different respiratory therapies. The pressure and a flow rate may be simultaneously controlled so as to provide a pressure therapy and a flow therapy. The system may include one or more flow generators, in which the control of the pressure and flow rate may include altering the output of one or more of the flow generators and/or an optional adjustable vent. The pressure and flow rate may each be held at a constant. One or both of the pressure and flow rate may also vary in accordance with a desired therapy. The air may be provided via a patient interface that includes a vent to atmosphere, which may be the adjustable vent. The vent may be actuated by a controller to implement the simultaneous control of pressure and flow rate of the air.

    摘要: An oxygen concentrator (100) apparatus and a method thereof implement operations control to efficiently release oxygen enriched gas to reduce potential waste. The control methodology may include generating a profile such as a minimum inhalation flow profile of the user. The profile may be based on a size parameter of the user. The method may determine one or more control parameters characterizing a bolus of oxygen enriched gas based on the generated flow profile. The control methodology may then generate a bolus release control signal, such as for a supply valve, according to the determined one or more control parameters. The oxygen concentrator may then, with the control signal, release and deliver a bolus of oxygen enriched gas for a user such as for reducing waste.
