Abstract: A humidifier includes: a container (20) to receive water; a heating element (22) formed of a ferrous material; a heating unit including an induction coil and a control circuit. The control circuit applies an alternating current (A-C) current to the coil if a metal inductance of the coil and heating circuit is within a predetermined range, and a gap separating the heating element from the induction coil, wherein the heating element is heated by an electromagnetic coupling with the induction coil.

Abstract: A servoventilator control slowly changes the target ventilation over a period of time, according to a preprogrammed schedule adapted to be set by the physician. Preferably, the target ventilation stays constant at an initial target ventilation for an initial hold time, and then increases at a constant rate until it reaches a final target ventilation, whereupon it stays constant thereafter. If the pressure support level is too high, possibly indicating glottic or upper airway closure, the rate of increase of target ventilation may be lowered or the final target ventilation not reached.

Abstract translation: 根据由医生设定的预编程时间表，伺服控制器控制在一段时间内缓慢地改变目标通气。 优选地，目标通气在初始保持时间的初始目标通气中保持恒定，然后以恒定速率增加，直到达到最终目标通气，此后其保持恒定。 如果压力支持水平太高，可能表示声门或上气道闭合，则可能会降低目标通气量的增加率，或者达不到最终目标通气量。
