A device for improving cognitive and functional capabilities by means of hypoxic and hyperoxic gas mixtures. An air splitter (5) separates oxygen and nitrogen and feeds these gases to a mixer (4), whose mixing rate is determined by feed back from a bio feedback regulator and an oximeter. The oximeter is connected to a finger piece sensor or pulse meter, and/or an ear-piece sensor for receiving inpute from a patient. The gas mixer feeds an adjusted oxygen and nitrogen mixture to the patient by way of a mouthpiece connected to the mixer.

Techniques related to temporary setpoint values are disclosed. The techniques may involve causing operation of a fluid delivery device in a closed-loop mode for automatically delivering fluid based on a difference between a first setpoint value and an analyte concentration value during operation of the fluid delivery device in the closed-loop mode. Additionally, the techniques may involve obtaining a second setpoint value. The second setpoint value may be a temporary setpoint value to be used for a period of time to regulate fluid delivery, and the second setpoint value may be greater than the first setpoint value. The techniques may further involve causing operation of the fluid delivery device for automatically reducing fluid delivery for the period of time based on the second setpoint value.

In a configuration in which a holder holding a controller is mounted on a seat part with a plate-shaped member, the exposure of the mounting part of the plate-shaped member on which the holder is mounted is eliminated. A seat device includes a pressure sensor measuring a value relating to the seated person's state, a vibration imparting device performing a vibration imparting operation, an ECU controlling the vibration imparting device corresponding to the measurement result of the pressure sensor, a holder holding the ECU, and a mounting bracket fixed to a lower frame such that the holder is mounted on the lower frame of a seat part. The mounting bracket includes a mounting projection on which side wall of the holder is mounted in a predetermined mounting direction. When the side wall is mounted on the mounting projection, the mounting projection is covered with the side wall.

An apparatus for controlling positioning of a subject's jawbone including an expandable device expandable to apply a force on the subject's jawbone in a direction of an anterior position with respect to a subject's skull; a mounting device holding the expandable device in proximity to the subject's jawbone to facilitate application of the force on the subject's jawbone and configured to position the expandable device behind the subject's jawbone such that application of the force on the subject's jawbone rotates the subject's jawbone relative to the subject's skull towards the anterior position; and a control system configured to control the force in response to the control system receiving an indication of a change in at least one of: an oxygen level of the subject; a gas flow rate of therapy gas supplied to the subject; a position and/or orientation of the subject; and/or a sleep state of the subject.

Described are systems for beds that can include sensors for sensing physical phenomena in an environment surrounding a bed, a display for outputting information about the environment, the bed, and a sleeper, and a controller communicably coupled to the sensors. The controller can receive the sensed physical phenomena from the sensors, analyze the physical phenomena to determine at least one of environmental, sleep, and health metrics of a sleeper in the bed, and determine, based on at least one of the environmental, sleep, and health metrics of the sleeper, control signals to modify the environment surrounding the bed. The controller can also output, at the display, the environmental, sleep, and health metrics of the sleeper. The controller can also transmit the control signals to a second controller in order to engage a home automation device. The physical phenomena can include ambient sound, ambient light, ambient CO2 concentration, and/or ambient temperature.
