Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided that provide respiration entrainment cues to a user to encourage relaxation or a sleep state. The entrainment cues may be audible, visible, or tactile (or any combination). The entrainment cues include a rhythmic component associated with a target respiration rate and may include sub-components associated with a target breath architecture, such as an inhale-exhale cycle. The systems and methods detect the user's respiration to determine whether the user's respiration matches the entrainment cues or whether the user has fallen asleep.

Abstract:

The present invention relates to a automated spraying device for spraying an enclosure with a liquid cleanser, the device having, a reservoir () for containing the liquid cleanser, a pump () in fluid communication with the reservoir, and a movable spray head () having an outlet orifice through which cleanser from the reservoir can be expelled during operation of the pump if there is such liquid cleanser in the reservoir. Said spraying device also contains an electrical motor drive mechanism () for sequentially operating th pump () and moving the spray head () to modify the direction of the spray there from, such that the spray head is not simultaneously spraying and moving. Furthermore, the spray head is suitable for producing an aerosol whereby the Dv50 of the aerosol is in the range of from 30 to 70 micron.
