摘要:
A method, apparatus, computer program, programmable device and system are all disclosed for the detection of the actuation of an inhaler and breath of a user from audio data. The method comprises identifying, based on a high frequency band of the audio data, actuation of the inhaler. The method additionally comprises identifying, based on a low frequency band of the audio data and based on the identified actuation of the inhaler, an interval of the audio data comprising the breath of the user.
摘要:
Respiratory therapy apparatus includes an expiratory, vibratory respiratory therapy device (100) and a flow sensor in the form of a heated electrical resistive element (50) exposed to breath exhaled by the user. Dissipation of heat from the flow sensor is dependent on the user's breath flow rate. The output of the sensor (50) is connected to a processor (51) that derives an output signal indicative of flow rate through the device from the response of the flow sensor.

The present disclosure pertains to a system (10) and method (500) to in-exsufflate a subject (12). The system provides an effective non¬ invasive alternative to invasive treatments such as a tracheostomy for ALS patients. The system detects airway collapse during exsufflation and adjusts in-exsufflation therapy settings to minimize airway collapse, thus maximizing the efficacy of the in-exsufflation therapy. In some embodiments, tidal volume, tidal flow rate, and/or other parameters are monitored (504) during in-exsufflation. Exsufflation pressure is adjusted (514) based on the monitored parameters to maintain an open airway during exhalation of the subject. Exsufflation pressure is adjusted based on a comparison (512) of an actual exhalation tidal volume to a target exhalation tidal volume, an actual exhalation flow rate to a target exhalation flow rate, an actual inhalation tidal volume to a target inhalation volume, and/or other comparisons.
摘要:
An electronic smoking article includes a liquid supply including liquid material, a heater operable to heat the liquid material to a temperature sufficient to vaporize the liquid material and form an aerosol, a wick in communication with the liquid material and in communication with the heater such that the wick delivers the liquid material to the heater, at least one air inlet operable to deliver air to a central air passage upstream of the heater, and an aroma carrier on an outer surface of the outer tube. The aroma carrier includes fragrance material and is operable to deliver fragrance during smoking.

摘要:
A liquid droplet spray device for ejecting a liquid as a spray of droplets has a cartridge (15) with a nozzle arrangement (13) to eject droplets, which is vibrated by a piezo element (23a) through the agency of an actuating element (23). A resonance chamber is disposed between an inner wall (15a) of the cartridge and the actuating element (23) such that the cartridge inner wall (15a) is separated by a gap having a length B from the actuating element (23), the cartridge inner wall (15a) being cap-shaped and extending along the side surfaces of the actuating element (23) and being frictionally attached to the side surfaces along a distance A. The resonance chamber (10) improves the efficiency of transmission of vibrations to the cartridge.
摘要:
A personal vapor inhaling unit is disclosed. An electronic flameless vapor inhaler unit that may simulate a cigarette has a cavity that receives a cartridge in the distal end of the inhaler unit. The cartridge brings a substance to be vaporized in contact with a wick. When the unit is activated, and the user provides suction, the substance to be vaporized is drawn out of the cartridge, through the wick, and is atomized by the wick into a cavity containing a heating element. The heating element vaporizes the atomized substance. The vapors then continue to be pulled by the user through a mouthpiece and mouthpiece cover where they may be inhaled.

A personal vapor inhaling unit is disclosed. An electronic flameless vapor inhaler unit t may simulate a cigarette. A flow of electrical power may be coupled through solderless pressure contacts to activate a heating element. When the unit is activated, and the user provides suction, the liquid to be vaporized may be vaporized by an atomizer assembly. Vapors may then be aspirated by the user through an oral aspiration tube, where they may be inhaled.
