Thanks for that bump. I don't think I had seen that explanation for VB before. (Or if I had, I was too out of it to remember) That helps me understand it much better.

Interesting number. Not sure I'm completely on board with it's usefulness. I can see a company getting a patent on something just to tip the scales for the potential consumer in a market where the machines are so similar...

"Hey, we provide VB which is an estimate of the amount of time you are in REM, all for the same price of the competitor's unit". And all they had to do was code an extra algorithm...

I did notice that my VB number for 14 days tends to go up and down. Day 2 it moved down, day 3 it went up, 4 it went down, 5 it went up, 6 it went down -- and so on...
