20090211583Headgear for Mask Assembly - A mask system for use between a patient and a structure to deliver a breathable gas to the patient includes a mask assembly including a frame, a cushion provided to the frame, and optionally an elbow provided to the frame. Headgear is removably attached to the mask assembly to maintain the mask assembly in a desired position on a patient's face. The headgear includes a back headgear section providing a top strap, a pair of side straps attached to the back headgear section, and an elastic strap attached between the back headgear section and the pair of side straps.08-27-2009
20100018534DELIVERY OF RESPIRATORY THERAPY - A respiratory mask for continuous positive airway pressure treatment includes a cushion adapted to be positioned against the face of a patient. The cushion is configured in a gasket arrangement around an entrance to the airways of the patient. The cushion is constructed from a polyurethane foam and has a thickness of greater than about 5 mm.01-28-2010
20100307502PATIENT INTERFACE SYSTEMS - A patient interface system for delivery of a supply of air at positive pressure to the entrance of a patient's airways for treatment of sleep disordered breathing includes an air delivery tube connected to a flexible portion of a plenum; a vent structure having sufficient rigidity to support its own weight under gravity and/or not to block or fold under tube movement or tube drag; and a patient interface structure. The patient interface structure includes a seal forming structure arranged on a top portion of the plenum; and a seal positioning and stabilizing structure connected to a flexible portion of the plenum. The seal-forming structure is substantially decoupled from a tube drag force.12-09-2010
20100326445INTERFACE INCLUDING A FOAM CUSHIONING ELEMENT - A respiratory mask assembly includes a frame having a channel and a cushioning element including a clip portion adapted for interference seal and retention in the channel. The cushioning element includes an interfacing portion constructed from foam and having a wider width than the clip portion.12-30-2010
20110000492FOAM RESPIRATORY MASK - A patient interface for delivering breathable gas to a patient includes a foam interfacing portion adapted to provide a nasal interface to contact under and around the patient's nose in use and including an orifice adapted to surround both the patient's nares in use, and a positioning and stabilizing structure to support the foam interfacing portion in an operative position on the patient's face. The positioning and stabilizing structure is structured to provide a range of rotational, axial, and/or lateral movement to the foam interfacing portion while maintaining a sufficient interface and resisting the application of tube drag and/or headgear tension to the foam interfacing portion.01-06-2011
20110088699CUSHIONING STRUCTURE - A cushion assembly for use with a respiratory mask includes a bladder filled with the combination of a gel having a first indentation hardness and a gel having a second indentation hardness.04-21-2011
20110146684FOAM-BASED INTERFACING STRUCTURE METHOD AND APPARATUS - A cushioning component for use with a mask is constructed of foam material. A patient contacting surface, that is adapted to contact a patient, in use, has a rounded cross sectional profile and a base surface opposed to the patient contacting surface.06-23-2011
20110162654FLEXIBLE STRUCTURE FOR MASK, AND METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR EVALUATING PERFORMANCE OF A MASK IN USES - A respiratory mask includes a frame and a flexible structure provided to the frame and adapted to engage a patient's face. The flexible structure includes a chamber filled with a first gel and a second gel that is relatively harder than the first gel. A ratio of height of the first gel to the second gel in a lip region is in the range of about 0.25 to about 0.6.07-07-2011

20100251352System and method for rendering a set of program instructions as executable or non-executable - A method and system for rendering a set of computer-readable program instructions on a user device as executable or non-executable. The user device or an intermediary device may transmit an access-token request including a device identifier to a server device. The server device determines whether the device identifier matches a registered device identifier, and if so, transmits an access-token to the user device, or to the intermediary device, which in turn transmits the access-token to the user device. The access-token includes an expiration indicator. Preferably, the expiration indicator is not expired when received by the user device, but expires some time after being received by the user device. The user device executes a first set of program instruction to determine whether the expiration indicator is expired, and if so, renders a second set of program instructions as non-executable, otherwise the second set of program instructions are rendered as executable.09-30-2010
