Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for a dynamic network identification to facilitate a selection of a desired audio. A premises (e.g., a public bar) may have a plurality of display devices (e.g., television screens) outputting videos associated with a plurality of content items (e.g., television programs). A computing device may assign an audio data of each of the content items to be transmitted over a separate wireless network. A user may be able to listen to the audio of a desired content item by causing a user device to join a wireless network assigned to transmit an audio data of the desired content item. The wireless network may be reused to transmit a different audio data. A network identifier of the wireless network may be renamed to indicate the different audio data. The network identifier may be based on metadata associated with a content item.

Dynamic network identification

A method, apparatus, and software are provided for using an optically-readable code such as a quick-response (QR) code. The optically-readable code may represent a uniform resource identifier (URI) including parameters that represent a query, such as a query for content and/or other data. The query results may be used to command a content consumption device to record or otherwise obtain an item of content. The optically-readable code may additionally or alternatively be determined based upon a status of the device, such as what content, or portion thereof, is currently being displayed, and/or what error condition is being experienced.

Optically readable codes in a content delivery system

Disclosed are systems and methods for summarizing content or preparing missed portions of content based on natural language queries. A natural language query can be received. One or more portions of summarized or missed content can be determined based on the natural language query, and transmitted to a user device.

Processing content based on natural language queries

Methods, apparatus, and software are described for using an optically-readable code. The optically-readable code may be caused to be displayed. Data may be received based on the optically-readable code. Content or other items may be determined based on the optically-readable code.

A CPAP enclosure used in the treatment of breathing disorder comprises a base connected to a bed, a canopy connected to the base, and a sealing member that connects the canopy to the base. The sealing member forms a substantially airtight seal such that the canopy and the base form a substantially airtight enclosure around at least a portion of the bed. A Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) compressor connects to the enclosure via flexible tubing, and generates a continuous positive airway pressure within the enclosure to treat a patient. A blender blends one or more compressed gasses with the compressed air from the CPAP compressor for delivery to the enclosure.

A CPAP enclosure used in the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) comprises a base connected to a bed, a canopy connected to the base, and a sealing member that connects the canopy to the base. The sealing member forms a substantially airtight seal such that the canopy and the base form a substantially airtight enclosure around at least a portion of the bed. A Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) compressor connects to the enclosure via flexible tubing, and generates a continuous positive airway pressure within the enclosure to treat a patient having OSA.

This invention is a method of preparing and utilizing oxygenated liquids for medical and therapeutic purposes. Non-blood liquid solutions are oxygenated using a gas liquid contact apparatus. Conditions of increased ambient pressure and decreased temperature are created to maximally dissolve gaseous oxygen into liquids. In addition, an electromagnetic stirring is used to homogeneously mix the gaseous oxygen and liquid. Following the oxygenation of the liquid is anaerobically procured from the gas liquid contact apparatus in order to maintain high dissolved oxygen partial pressures in the liquid. The oxygenated liquid may be intravenously injected to titrate blood oxygen levels, or the oxygenated liquid may be systemically administered for absorption into tissues and the bloodstream.

The present invention is a stethoscope which provides the user with continuous access to physiologic sounds. The stethoscope consists of multiple, lightweight, disposable sound receiving sensors and shutoff valves which allow selective auscultation of specific sites without patient disturbance. In addition, depending upon the positions of the shutoff valves, the stethoscope may enhance sound conduction by producing constructive interference of sound waves. A means of attaching the sound receiving sensors to the skin is also described. Because the sound receiving sensors are disposable, the risk of infection due to cross-examination is minimized. Therefore, this invention is safer than known stethoscopes.
