An adaptive audio therapy system which detects and processes one or more individuals' conditions to provide adaptive, continuous audio therapy in real-time. The adaptive audio therapy system generally includes a detection device that is typically in physical contact with an individual, such as a pacifier or steering wheel. The detection device may include sensors to detect various conditions of the individual, such as heart rate, respiration rate, temperature, and the like. A computing device receives and processes the various conditions detected by the sensors. Based on the detected conditions, the computing device provides audio therapy which is adaptive to the condition of the patient and which is continuously adapted in real-time.

A flush device including: a first housing provided with a first flow path; a second housing provided with a second flow path, the second housing being coupled to the first housing; a flow control device including a protrusion and a through hole connecting the first flow path to the second flow path in fluid communication; and an elastic member provided around the base of the flow control device to seal off a space between the first and the second flow paths. The elastic member is deformed to further connect the first and second flow paths in fluid communication. The first housing has an inner periphery provided with fitting receiving portions each being fitted to each of the fitting projections of the protrusion. According to this structure, the flush device can discharge a chemical liquid at a flow rate close to a defined amount.

A system includes a mobile device having one or more cameras to take images; a sensor detecting reflected light from one or more lasers and a diffuser to detect object range or dimension; code for motion tracking, environmental understanding by detecting planes in an environment, and estimating light and dimensions of the surrounding based on the one or more lasers; code to estimate a three-dimensional (3D) volume of an object from multiple perspectives and from projected laser beams to measure size or scale and determine locations of points on the object's surface in a plane or a slice using time-of-flight, wherein positions and cross-sections for different slices are correlated to construct a 3D model of the object, including object position and shape; the device receiving user request to select a content from one or more augmented, virtual, or extended reality contents and rendering a reality view of the environment.

A blood pump is described that includes an impeller having proximal and distal bushings, at least one helical elongate element, a spring that is disposed inside of the helical elongate element and along an axis around which the helical elongate element winds, and a film of material supported between the helical elongate element and the spring. A frame is disposed around the impeller. A flexible elongate element extends radially from the spring to the helical elongate element, and maintains the helical elongate element within a given distance from the spring, to thereby maintain a gap between an outer edge of a blade of the impeller and an inner surface of the frame, during rotation of the impeller. Other applications are also described.

A processing device in one embodiment is configured to generate a first sound cue of a first type, the first sound cue comprising a primary entrainment cue for an entrainment sonification system, to generate one or more additional sound cues of a second type, each of the one or more additional sound cues comprising an auxiliary entrainment cue for the entrainment sonification system, to provide the first sound cue and the one or more additional sound cues to one or more audio devices of the entrainment sonification system for generation of sound for audible presentation to a user, to receive from one or more sensors of the entrainment sonification system one or more feedback signals, and to adjust one or more characteristics of at least one of the first sound cue and the one or more additional sound cues based at least in part on the one or more received feedback signals.

Systems and methods for deriving pressures outside of a blood inlets and blood outlets of an intracardiac blood pump assembly, and pressure differentials therebetween. Pressures outside of a blood inlet may be derived based on one or more readings from a pressure sensor placed within a blood inlet, one or more readings from a differential pressure sensor configured to measure pressure differential across a wall of the pump housing or cannula, and speed of the pump motor. Pressure differentials between a blood inlet and blood outlet may be derived based on one or more readings from the differential pressure sensor and speed of the pump motor. Pressures outside of a blood outlet may be derived based on a derived pressure outside of a blood inlet and a derived pressure differential between the blood inlet and the blood outlet.

A respiration device (1) supports cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and a method for operating a respiration device (1) supports cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The respiration device (1) has a control and regulation unit (7) in order to actuate an expiratory metering unit (3), and an inspiratory metering unit (2) such that, in a first phase, a current value of pressure is increased relative to a first pre-defined value (16) and such that, in a second phase, the current value of the pressure is reduced relative to the first pre-defined value (16).

The methods, systems and devices provided herein relate to sleep-aid. Some embodiments include a vibration source and/or a sound source. In some embodiments, the vibration source and/or sound source emit vibrations and/or sounds that stimulate a subject's vagus nerve, or another nerve, to induce sleep or relaxation in the subject.
