In this article it is proposed a medical equipment type belt which has the role to assure the respiratory rhythm through abdominal respiratory stimulation during the exhalation stage. The main role of the equipment is to assure the rhythm of the exhalation in pathological cases such as apnea during the sleep or the chronic respiratory insufficiency with continuous necessity of oxygen therapy (minimum 8 hours a day), neuro-motor disorders, kyphoscoliosis, obesity, impairments following the post poliomyelitis tuberculosis or in the pulmonary rehabilitation in the final stage of the chronic obstructive broncho-pneumopathy (BPOC). The proposed equipment uses the effect of shape memory of the NiTi smart alloys under the form of wire through optoelectronic command..

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
