Zusammenfassung:	A patient interface assembly is configured to deliver a positively pressurized flow of breathable gas to a patient's airways. The patient interface assembly includes a patient interface configured to sealingly engage the patient's face and comprises a chamber configured to receive the pressurized flow of breathable gas. The patient interface assembly also includes headgear configured to support the patient interface on the patient's head and be tightened to one of a plurality of discrete tension settings. The headgear includes a tensioning element that is configured to contract in length to one of a plurality of discrete lengths when subjected to an electrical signal. Each discrete length of the tensioning element corresponds to a respective one of the plurality of discrete headgear tension settings.
