A method and system for mapping fluid objects on a substrate using a microscope inspection system that includes a light source, imaging device, stage for moving a substrate disposed on the stage, and a control module. A computer analysis system includes an object identification module that identifies for each of the objects on the substrate, an object position on the substrate including a set of X, Y, and θ coordinates using algorithms, networks, machines and systems including artificial intelligence and image processing algorithms. At least one of the objects is fluid and has shifted from a prior position or deformed from a prior size.

Method and system for mapping objects on unknown specimens

Positive airway pressure device

A positive airway pressure device includes a blower, a chamber, a sensor, and a controller. The controller is configured to perform operations. The operations include determining a baseline respiratory response for a patient. The operations further include initializing the blower to deliver a therapy pressure to the patient. The operations further include receiving, from the sensor, real-time respiratory response data while delivering therapy to the patient. The operations further include analyzing the real-time respiratory response data to determine whether a sleep disruption has occurred by comparing the real-time respiratory response data to the baseline respiratory response for the patient. The operations further include, based on the analyzing, determining that a sleep disruption has occurred based on an anomaly detected in the real-time respiratory response data. The operations further include, based on the determining, initiating an action to account for the sleep disruption.

Respiratory pattern analysis during variable positive air pressure delivery for spontaneously breathing patients

A positive airway pressure device is disclosed herein. The positive airway pressure device includes a blower, a buffer chamber, a gas manifold, a first sensor, a second sensor, and a controller. The buffer chamber is downstream of the blower. The buffer chamber configured to receive gas generated by the blower and output the gas to a patient. The gas manifold is fluidly coupling the blower to the buffer chamber. The first sensor is at least partially disposed in the gas manifold. The first sensor is configured to measure a first pressure in the gas manifold. The second sensor is at least partially disposed in the buffer chamber. The second sensor is configured to measure a second sensor in the buffer chamber.

Method and system for bi-level treatment of sleep apnea

An inspection apparatus includes a specimen stage, one or more imaging devices and a set of lights, all controllable by a control system. By translating or rotating the one or more imaging devices or specimen stage, the inspection apparatus can capture a first image of the specimen that includes a first imaging artifact to a first side of a reference point and then capture a second image of the specimen that includes a second imaging artifact to a second side of the reference point. The first and second imaging artifacts can be cropped from the first image and the second image respectively, and the first image and the second image can be digitally stitched together to generate a composite image of the specimen that lacks the first and second imaging artifacts.

System, method and apparatus for macroscopic inspection of reflective specimens

A process is provided for imaging a surface of a specimen with an imaging system that employs a BD objective having a darkfield channel and a bright field channel, the BD objective having a circumference. The specimen is obliquely illuminated through the darkfield channel with a first arced illuminating light that obliquely illuminates the specimen through a first arc of the circumference. The first arced illuminating light reflecting off of the surface of the specimen is recorded as a first image of the specimen from the first arced illuminating light reflecting off the surface of the specimen, and a processor generates a 3D topography of the specimen by processing the first image through a topographical imaging technique. Imaging apparatus is also provided as are further process steps for other embodiments.

Unique oblique lighting technique using a brightfield darkfield objective and imaging method relating thereto

A method and system for mapping fluid objects on a substrate using a microscope inspection system that includes a light source, imaging device, stage for moving a substrate disposed on the stage, and a control module. A computer analysis system includes an object identification module that identifies for each of the objects on the substrate, an object position on the substrate including a set of X, Y, and &#x3b8; coordinates using algorithms, networks, machines and systems including artificial intelligence and image processing algorithms. At least one of the objects is fluid and has shifted from a prior position or deformed from a prior size.

A positive airway pressure device includes a primary housing and a humidification system. The primary housing includes an outer edge, a first electronic connection portion, and a blower configured to deliver a vapor to a patient. The humidification system includes a water reservoir configured to hold a liquid, a heating plate in thermal communication with the water reservoir, a second electronic connection portion, and a lid configured to selectively shield the second electronic connection portion. The primary housing is configurable between at least two positions relative to the humidification system. The at least two positions include a first position in which the lid at least partially shields the second electronic connection portion and a second position in which the outer edge of the primary housing forces open the lid such that the first electronic connection portion mates with the second electronic connection portion.

Non-invasive respiratory device with a vertical connection interface

The disclosed technology relates to an inspection apparatus that includes a stage configured to retain a specimen for inspection, an imaging device having a field of view encompassing at least a portion of the stage to view a specimen retained on the stage, and a plurality of lights disposed on a moveable platform. The inspection apparatus can further include a control module coupled to the imaging device, each of the lights and the moveable platform. The control module is configured to perform operations including: receiving image data from the imaging device, where the image data indicates an illumination landscape of light incident on the specimen; and automatically modifying, based on the image data, an elevation of the moveable platform or an intensity of one or more of the lights to adjust the illumination landscape. Methods and machine-readable media are also contemplated.

Macro inspection systems, apparatus and methods

An automatic focus system for an optical microscope that facilitates faster focusing by using at least two cameras. The first camera can be positioned in a first image forming conjugate plane and receives light from a first illumination source that transmits light in a first wavelength range. The second camera can be positioned at an offset distance from the first image forming conjugate plane and receives light from a second illumination source that transmits light in a second wavelength range.
