Pressure Control Ventilation Now that we have fully discussed volume control ventilation, we will move on to pressure control. All of the principles we have learned so far still apply. The main difference between the two categories of ventilation is that in volume control, you set the volume, but in pressure control, you do not directly set the volume. Instead, in pressure control you set the pressure. Pressure Control Ventilation (ACPC, PCV, CMV-PC) is a full control mode of ventilation—the ventilator will control all phases of the breath delivered based on the set parameters. Exhalation is still passive. The clinician sets a minimum of how often breaths will be delivered and sets the positive pressure applied (pressure control) to the lungs that causes the lungs to inflate with volume. The pressure delivered is constant and does not change breath to breath unless the clinician changes it. So, if the pressure is what is constant here, what will change if the pressure changes? Think back to the relationship of pressure, volume and time. If you increase the pressure applied to a balloon, how will the inflation change? (If you guessed the volume of inflation would increase, you got it! ) Volume will vary based on changes to the set pressure control. The higher the pressure delivered, the higher the volume. But just like volume control where the pressures can change breath to breath based on lung condition, we see the same thing in pressure control with the volume changing br...

It’s no secret that the first Qualcomm Snapdragon 835-powered laptops are getting a bad rap for their purported performance versus price ratio. So, Microsoft wants to set the record straight, telling us that these first devices are just the beginning of its larger ‘Always Connected PC’ (ACPC) initiative. “We don't equate ‘Always Connected PC’ with Qualcomm,” Microsoft Windows general manager Erin Chapple says. “We’re about choice in the ecosystem and working across our partners.” Now, this isn’t Microsoft distancing itself from Qualcomm or this first run of ACPC products – in fact, it’s anything but. “You will see [ACPC] performance improvements between the Fall Creators Update and the RS4 updates that we’ve been delivering [through the Windows Insider program]." Microsoft's Erin Chapple However, according to Microsoft, an ACPC isn’t simply a Windows 10 laptop with an ARM-based processor inside. Chapple reiterates to us that an ACPC is a type of computer that achieves always-on connectivity through LTE (or 5G in the future), can go to sleep without losing progress in internet-connected apps and lasts for more than a dozen hours on a charge. In short, an ACPC is a Windows 10 laptop or tablet that, for all intents and purposes, behaves more like a smartphone. However, that definition doesn’t dictate the hardware inside, with Chapple making an interesting point in illustrating this fact. “Today, we have the three devices [the HP Envy x2, Lenovo Miix 630 and Asus NovaGo] we’ve...

Semi-Annual Meetings ACPC holds two national meetings per year — one in January and one in June. The meeting kicks off with networking among peers. Professional Programming is held Monday through Wednesday morning. Benchmarking Sessions are held on Tuesday afternoon, and entertainment takes place Tuesday evening. Additional activities are offered such as a golf tournament, tennis, a Women’s Networking Lunch, and opportunities to experience the host city. ACPC Annual Meetings are designed by Chief Corporate Patent Counsel for Chief Corporate Patent Counsel. The professional relationships fostered at meetings support professional success and result in lifelong professional relationships among leaders in patent and intellectual property law. Common ACPC Meeting FAQs Am I allowed to attend an ACPC meeting if I am not a member? ACPC allows prospective members who meet the regular member requirements to attend one meeting at the regular member rate before joining ACPC. Afterwards, if an individual decides to become a member within six months of that meeting, ACPC will waive their dues through January 31st of the upcoming year. In order to attend the upcoming meeting as a prospective member, we ask that you please complete the regular membership application and indicate you are a prospective member. The ACPC Executive Committee will then review and confirm that you qualify for membership. Once it is confirmed that you qualify for membership, we will send you login information so ...
