A fragrance suitable for a user can be provided. A mobile terminal includes: an acquisition unit that acquires a psychosomatic state from a physiological index of a user; an input unit that inputs future information of the user; a determination unit that determines a recipe including one or more types and a mixing ratio of one or more perfumes based on the psychosomatic state and the future information; and a communication unit that transmits the recipe to a fragrance generation device.

A steam inhaler includes a steam chamber housing having mounted therein a heater assembly. The steam chamber housing defines a steam chamber adapted to receive water. A fitting mounted to the steam chamber housing has a steam conduit section extended toward an exterior vent opening, a nozzle conduit section extended from the steam conduit, and a fresh air conduit section extended from the steam conduit section at a location downstream of the nozzle conduit section. The fitting is configured such that steam flows freely from the steam chamber, through the steam conduit section toward the exterior vent opening, a suction provided at the nozzle redirects at least a portion of the steam into the nozzle conduit section toward a mask, and the fresh air conduit directs fresh air into the steam conduit section to reduce a temperature of the steam exiting the exterior vent opening.

A method of fluid delivery into a person's skin includes receiving a fluid delivery time indicating the amount of time required for a delivery of the fluid through a microneedle array of the intradermal fluid delivery device into the person's skin. The processor repeatedly turns the air pump on or off, for the fluid to gradually be injected into the person's skin. The method controls the total fluid delivery time and/or the granularity of the fluid delivery. The total fluid delivery time may be set to T, and the time period T may be divided into smaller periods t.sub.1 to t.sub.n, where the fluid may be administered in a period t1, the fluid delivery may then be stopped for a period t2, followed by another fluid delivery period, etc. The periods t1 to tn may be the same or of different lengths.

A sleep system can introduce outside stimulus such as simulated heartbeat and/or respiration to induce a response from the sleeper which can cause the sleeper's body to mimic or mate up with the delivered heartbeat and/or respiration sequence. Simulated heartbeat and/or respiration introduced to the person's sleeping environment can guide the person from an awake state to a sleeping state, help the person transition between sleep stages, help the person maintain one or more sleep stages for longer or shorter durations, and gently guide the person from an asleep state to an awake state. The simulated heartbeat and/or respiration can also improve the quality of sleep that the person experiences in a given sleep phase.

The invention relates to a device for the dynamically adapting sealing of an organ or a body cavity, e.g. the windpipe (trachea) of an intubated and ventilated patient, wherein the sealing balloon element is produced via particularly rapid shifting of filling medium from an extracorporeal reservoir or an extracorporeal source to the sealing balloon, and wherein, in the dynamic sealing of the trachea according to the example case, a balloon-type foil body preferably formed with residual material in the diameter, i.e. exceeding the tracheal diameter, is in contact with the inner wall of the trachea in a sealing manner and with a pressure that is as constant as possible, wherein fluctuations in the balloon volume, caused by fluctuations in the intrathoracic pressure relating to the mechanics of breathing, are compensated as quickly as possible by supplying volume from an extracorporeal reservoir or an extracorporeal source, and the tracheal secretion sealing of the balloon is thereby kept continuous. This is both made possible by a sufficiently high-volume supply of the balloon filling medium to the cuff, and also prevents steps, gaps or ridges in the supply system, whereby volume flow directed towards the balloon can be minimised, which is crucial for a rapid-as-possible stabilising of the filling volume in the balloon, in particular with small pressure differences between 15 and 30 mbar that are driving the volume flow.

A bed has a mattress. A sensor system is configured to sense at least one physical phenomenon through a sleep session. A controller may include at least one processor and memory, the controller configured to receive, through the sleep session, the sensor data; select, from a plurality of optional algorithms, a selected algorithm based on at least one of the sensor data, user input, and checking a clock, where the optional algorithms include (i) a state-based algorithm and (ii) a schedule-based algorithm; update, through the sleep session, using the selected algorithm, a current sleep state of the sleeper; track the sleep session based on the update of the current sleep state of the sleeper through the sleep session; update, through the sleep session, using the tracking of the sleep session, a target environmental-parameter; and send, through the sleep session, automation instructions to an environmental controller.

Vaporizer and/or electronic cigarette chargers useful for the recharging of rechargeable vaporizer or electronic cigarette power supplies such as batteries, compatible vaporizers and/or electronic cigarettes, their components, charging contacts, methods of their use and kits containing such chargers are disclosed.

Systems and methods for nitric oxide generation are provided. In an embodiment, an NO generation system can include a controller and disposable cartridge that can provide nitric oxide to two different treatments simultaneously. The disposable cartridge has multiple purposes including preparing incoming gases for exposure to the NO generation process, scrubbing exhaust gases for unwanted materials, characterizing the patient inspiratory flow, and removing moisture from sample gases collected. Plasma generation can be done within the cartridge or within the controller. The system has the capability of calibrating NO and NO.sub.2 gas analysis sensors without the use of a calibration gas.

A flow of air is directed at the face and into the nose and mouth so as to decrease taste and inhibit appetite.

An airway device includes an outertube and a scope channel partially enclosed by the outertube. An intraluminal space in the outertube, not occupied by the scope channel, provides a passageway for air flow to the patient. An esophageal cuff is disposed distally on the scope channel. When inflated, the esophageal cuff secures the airway device in the proximal esophagus of the patient and helps to prevent gastric reflux by mechanically blocking gastric content from entering into the larynx. An inflatable bladder is attached at an anterior surface of the scope channel between the esophageal cuff and a distal opening of the outertube. When inflated, the bladder forms a tubular ring that pushes against the epiglottis and/or other soft tissue towards a wall of the hypopharynx to produce an unhindered air passage into the patient's trachea.
