Abstract: A system may selectively deliver interactive portions of a piece of content, based for example on a recipient user's historical tendency to use interactive portions of prior content. Multiple levels of interactivity may be defined for a given piece of content, such as an advertisement, and different users may receive different levels of interactivity based on how much they use interactive features. Some users may receive no interactive features at all, while others may receive the interactive features, and despite the fact that all of the users' devices may be perfectly capable of processing the interactive features for the user. The omission from transmission may conserve bandwidth and transmission resources.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a coin dispenser that forms no pressed dent on coins by regulating pins, which causes the coins to move thereover upon backward rotation of a rotating disk. 
     Coins are dropped into through holes and sorted one by one by forward rotation of a rotating disk, and each coin is guided in the circumferential direction of the rotating disk by a pair of regulating pins while being pushed by a pusher on a lower surface and slid on a base and is then dispensed by an ejecting roller. If coin jamming occurs, the coin, which is pushed in the opposite direction of the dispensing case by a back surface of the pusher, is guided by a pair of slopes formed on tips of the pair of regulating pins so as to get away from the base and is moved over the regulating pins. As a result, the rotating disk is continuously rotated, and coin jamming is eliminated. Since the pair of slopes are disposed so as to sandwich the coin, which is pushed in the opposite direction, in a V-shape. Therefore, the coin is always brought into contact with and pushed up by the pair of slopes. Therefore, pushing force does not concentrate on one part of the coin, and no pressed dent is formed.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for the treatment of cardiac failure, Cheyne-Stokes breathing or central sleep apnea are disclosed. A subject is provided with ventilatory support, for example positive pressure ventilatory support using a blower and mask. Respiratory airflow is determined. From the respiratory airflow are derived a measure of instantaneous ventilation (for example half the absolute value of the respiratory airflow) and a measure of longterm average ventilation (for example the instantaneous ventilation low pass filtered with a 100 second time constant). A target ventilation is taken as 95 % of the longterm average ventilation. The instantaneous ventilation is fed as the input signal to a clipped integral controller, with the target ventilation as the reference signal. The output of the controller determines the degree of ventilatory support. Clipping is typically to between half and double the degree of support that would do all the respiratory work. A third measure of ventilation, for example instantaneous ventilation low pass filtered with a time constant of 5 seconds, is calculated. Ventilatory support is in phase with the subject's respiratory airflow to the fuzzy extent that this ventilation is above target, and at a preset rate conversely.
