An electronic device for providing meditation content corresponding to a stress level of a user, and an operating method thereof are provided. The electronic device includes a communication interface comprising communication circuitry, a memory, and at least one processor operatively coupled to the communication interface and the memory. The memory is configured to store instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to control the electronic device to: receive stress information from at least one collecting device using the communication interface, confirm meditation content corresponding to a stress level based on at least part of the received stress information, confirm at least one executing device related to the confirmed meditation content, and control the execution of the confirmed meditation content and the confirmed at least one executing device using the communication interface.

A vaporizer device (100) may be configured to adjust, based on ambient pressure, a setpoint temperature and/or a ramp rate of the vaporizer device. The setpoint temperature of the vaporizer device may be adjusted based on the ambient pressure in order to account for differences in the boiling point of a vaporizable material at different ambient pressures. Adjusting the setpoint temperature of the vaporizer device based on ambient pressure may further compensate for changes in the sensitivity of a user's taste buds in different ambient pressure and/or humidity environments. The ramp rate of the vaporizer device may be adjusted based on the ambient pressure such that the vaporizer device is able to achieve the higher boiling point of the vaporizable material in a higher ambient pressure environment in a same quantity of time as a lower boiling point of the vaporizable material in a lower ambient pressure environment.

Methods and apparatus, such as a controller of a respiratory therapy device, generate a signal representing an estimate of flow rate of gas flow from the device. The respiratory therapy device may include a motor-operated blower. The method may include receiving in the controller, signals generated by a set of sensors, including measures of pressure and frequency (e.g., speed) of the motor. The controller may be configured to compute an entrained air density function and generate the estimate signal based on a function of the measures of pressure and frequency, and the entrained air density function. The entrained air density function may apply signals from additional sensors, such as atmospheric pressure, gas temperature, and ambient relative humidity, to compute atmospheric density. Control operations of the therapy device may then be based on the estimated signal, which may be applied to assess accuracy of a signal from a flow sensor.

A medicine vaporizer apparatus comprises a base with an upwardly extending heating element disposed within a rigid tube. Air is drawn into the rigid tube through an aperture in the rigid tube below the heating element and directed over the heating element to then be drawn through a flexible tube and through a filter or screen comprising an amount of medicine. Heated air flows over the amount of medicine and vaporizes the same, wherein the medicine is thereafter drawn into the lungs of a patient pulling the air therethrough with his or her mouth. Thermal separation and cooling of various parts prevents accidental injury to users and provides an inert air path for the air therethrough. The apparatus further provides controlled incineration and/or vaporization of the medicine.

A medical device system. The system includes a first medical device, a first remote interface, and a second remote interface in communication with the first remote interface and the first medical device, wherein the first medical device sends a command to the first medical device through the second remote interface, and wherein when the second remote interface receives the command, the command must be confirmed by the second remote interface before the command is send by the second remote interface to the first medical device.

A nebulizer system capable of identifying when activation has occurred and aerosol is being produced. The nebulizer system monitors the inhalation and exhalation flow generated by the patient and communicates proper breathing technique for optimal drug delivery. The nebulizer system may monitor air supply to the nebulizer to ensure it is within the working range and is producing, or is capable of producing, acceptable particle size and drug output rate. When a patient, caregiver or other user deposits or inserts medication into the nebulizer, the nebulizer system is able to identify the medication and determine the appropriate delivery methods required to properly administer the medication as well as output this information into a treatment log to ensure the patient is taking the proper medications. The system is able to measure the concentration of the medication and volume of the medication placed within the medication receptacle, e.g., bowl.

A system and process for an oxygen flow control system for supplemental oxygen is provided, including a system with an optical flow sensor and 3-way solenoid that operate to detect inhalation and deliver a microburst of oxygen that is electronically controlled based on one or more parameters.

Systems and methods for generating sound elements in a vehicle are present. In one example, a method comprises selecting a sound element, the sound element corresponding to a natural environment; and broadcasting the sound element via one or more speakers of a vehicle. In this way, a sound environment may be provided to a vehicle user based on the at least one vehicle state.

Described is a respiratory therapy system that comprises a respiratory therapy apparatus that is configured to provide a flow of breathable gas at, at least a first pressure and a second pressure to a patient. The respiratory therapy apparatus comprises a flow generator configured to provide the flow of breathable gas, a controller, coupled to a trigger sensor, to control respiratory therapy apparatus operations, a breathing conduit assembly that conveys the breathable gas to a patient via a patient interface, a trigger that produces a signal detectable by the trigger sensor. The controller is configured to control the flow generator to provide the flow of breathable gas at, at least the first pressure or the second pressure based on detection of the signal from the trigger.

Method and apparatus obtain information about a patient and/or a respiratory therapy system that is configured to deliver respiratory therapy to the patient. The respiratory therapy system may include a flow generator configured to generate a supply of pressurized air along an air circuit to a patient interface. A sound signal representing a sound in the air circuit may be processed to obtain cepstrum data. A time series of delay estimates based on acoustic signatures of the cepstrum data may be generated. Each acoustic signature may represent a reflection of sound from a patient interface along the air circuit. Variation in the time series of delay estimates may be analysed. One or more output indicators based on the variation may be generated. The one or more output indicators may concern patient and/or system status.
