Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for generating graphical displays of analyte data and/or health information. In some implementations, the graphical displays are generating based on a self-referential dataset that are modifiable based on identified portions of the data. The modified graphical displays can indicate features in the analyte data of a host.

Abstract: A fluid for stabilising solids formed from particulate material, the fluid comprising glass and a carrier. A method for preparing the fluid comprising melting and fritting a glass, milling the glass to form a powder and adding the milled glass to a carrier. A method of stabilising a solid formed from particulate material, the method comprising the steps of mixing the fluid with a particulate material and setting, and the use of the fluid, in geoengineering, building preservation, construction, tunnelling, landscape restoration, land remediation, and/or flood protection/remediation.

Abstract: A device for puncturing a capsule to release a powdered medicament therefrom includes a chamber for receiving the capsule. The capsule includes opposing domes and a cylindrical wall portion defined by a capsule wall radius r. The device further includes a mechanism for puncturing at least one hole in at least one dome. A center of each hole is located within an annular puncture region situated at no less than 0.4 r, and a total surface area of all puncture holes is between about 0.5% and about 2.2% of a total surface area of the capsule. The annular puncture region may, for example, be situated between about 0.4 r and about 0.8 r, or between about 0.4 r and about 0.6 r.

Abstract: An improved inhalation device is provided for facilitating inhalation by a patient of powder medicaments contained in a receptacle. The inhalation device includes a staple assembly comprising a plunger and staple that are securely and robustly coupled to one another. Embodiments of the inhalation device have a cap that prevents or reduces the amount of dust and grime entering into the device. The cap is additionally configured to prevent or reduce inadvertent and unintentional operation of the device. The body portion and first casing portion of certain embodiments of the inhalation device are sealably coupled, restricting or reducing undesirable flow pathways that have an adverse effect on the operation of the device.
