Abstract: A positive airway pressure system for treatment of a sleeping disorder in a patient, comprises a generator supplying airflow and applying a pressure to an airway of a patient. A sensor measures data corresponding to patient's breathing patterns, and a processing arrangement analyzing the breathing patterns to determine whether the breathing patterns are indicative of one of the following patient's states:  (i) a regular breathing state, (ii) a sleep disorder breathing state, (iii) a REM sleep state and (iv) a troubled wakefulness state. The processing arrangement adjusts the applied pressure as a function of the patient's state; when the breathing patterns indicate state (iv), the processing arrangement sets a target pressure value and controls the generator to adjust the pressure to approach the target pressure value. Also, a system for monitoring breathing of a patient, comprises a sensor measuring data corresponding to the patient's breathing patterns, and a processing arrangement determining whether the breathing patterns are indicative of a troubled wakefulness state.

Abstract: An underwater wave energy converter (WEC) (10) has a piston (32) that reciprocates up and down as recurring waves (22) pass over. Downward motion of the piston (32) drives the rods or plungers (50b) of a multiplicity of hydraulic jacks (50) to pressurize hydraulic fluid in an energy conversion system. Ultimately, the energy conversion system powers one or more hydraulic motors (511, 512) that drive an electric generator (510) or multiple generators. A sensor system (25) detects characteristics of in-coming waves such as by detecting changes in pressure as in-coming waves (22) pass over the sensor system (25).  The sensors can be mounted on the ocean floor seaward from the WECs (10), and a control computer system (231) calculates characteristics of the in-coming waves such as wave height and speed data, and uses the data to control aspects of the WECs (10) and other components of the energy conversion system.

Abstract: The present document describes a ready to use sensing device which is auto--configurable when turned on. The sensing device includes one or more sensors and a communication port. When turned on, the system automatically contacts a central server via the communication port and requests the address of a second server with which the sensing device is associated. Upon receipt of the address of the second server, the sensing device contacts the second server and requests its customized configuration settings. When received, the configuration settings are installed, and the sensing device starts to sample the output of the sensors and sends the samples to the second server for storage. The user may view the measurement data by accessing the second server through the internet.    The minimum memory capacity required for operating the sensing device is very low, due to the fact that the samples are sent to the second server every time the samples are taken.
