Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to calibrate an analyte concentration sensor within a biological system, generally using only a signal from the analyte concentration sensor. For example, at a steady state, the analyte concentration value within the biological system is known, and the same may provide a source for calibration.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that provide smart alerts to users, e.g., alerts to users about diabetic states that are only provided when it makes sense to do so, e.g., when the system can predict or estimate that the user is not already cognitively aware of their current condition, e.g., particularly where the current condition is a diabetic state warranting attention. In this way, the alert or alarm is personalized and made particularly effective for that user. Such systems and methods still alert the user when action is necessary, e.g., a bolus or temporary basal rate change, or provide a response to a missed bolus or a need for correction, but do not alert when action is unnecessary, e.g., if the user is already estimated or predicted to be cognitively aware of the diabetic state warranting attention, or if corrective action was already taken.

Abstract: A 3D printing cleaning module comprises an extraction gate at a lateral wall of a housing; and a platform within the housing to support a build bed including 3D printed parts and un-solidified build material. The platform is tilted or tiltable with respect to a horizontal plane towards the extraction gate to enable 3D printed parts on the platform to be removable through the extraction gate. The module comprises a cleaning engine to remove at least part of the un-solidified build material from the housing, a vibrating mechanism to vibrate the platform; and a controller. The controller is to control the cleaning engine to execute a cleaning operation by removing un-solidified build material from the housing, to cause the part ejection gate to open upon completion of the cleaning operation, and to cause the vibrating mechanism to vibrate the platform when the part extraction gate is in the open position.

The controller is to vibrate the platform, generate a cleaning stream in the housing, and to control at least one of the platform and the cleaning element to apply the cleaning stream to different portions of a 3D printed part on the platform.

Abstract: In implementations of adaptive systems for continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), a computing device implements an adaptive system to receive glucose data describing user glucose values measured by a sensor of a CGM system, the sensor is inserted at an insertion site. The adaptive system accesses orientation data describing forces measured by an accelerometer of the CGM system, and the adaptive system identifies a location of the insertion site based on the orientation data. Modified glucose data is generated by modifying the user glucose values based on the location of the insertion site. The adaptive system generates an indication of the modified glucose data for display in a user interface of a display device.
