  • Publication number: 20140000338
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, apparatuses, etc. for glucose sensor signal stability analysis. In certain example embodiments, a series of samples of at least one sensor signal that is responsive to a blood glucose level of a patient may be obtained. Based at least partly on the series of samples, at least one metric may be determined to assess an underlying trend of a change in responsiveness of the at least one sensor signal to the blood glucose level of the patient over time. A reliability of the at least one sensor signal to respond to the blood glucose level of the patient may be assessed based at least partly on the at least one metric assessing an underlying trend. Other example embodiments are disclosed herein.

  • Patent number: 8494188
    Abstract: A piezoelectric ceramic loudspeaker headphone structure includes a positioning frame having an open front end and an open rear that form a circumferential step extending along an inner circumference of the positioning frame. A steel sheet having an area approximately equal to the open front end of the positioning frame is mounted to and closes the open front end of the positioning frame. A vibrating member is received in and positioned by the circumferential step so as to close the rear open end of the positioning frame. The positioning frame with the steel sheet and the vibrating member respectively closing the front and rear ends thereof forms a closed chamber. A sound-making member that is formed by stacking multiple ceramic layers has a surface area less than that of the steel sheet and is attached to an outside surface of the steel sheet to constitute a sound-making module.

  • Publication number: 20130157570
    Abstract: In a method for monitoring a second mobile device using a first mobile device and wireless communication, a prompting file, a time interval, and a name of a second communication module of the second mobile device are set in the first mobile device. A first communication module of the first mobile device searches for discoverable devices within a predetermined coverage area of the first mobile device. Each found discoverable device is entered in a device list of the first mobile device. If the second communication module is found, a timer starts timing the time interval. After the time interval has elapsed, the first communication module searches for the discoverable devices again, for updating the device list. If the second communication module is not in the updated device list, the prompting file is outputted to alert a user of the first mobile device.

  • Publication number: 20120170786
    Abstract: A piezoelectric ceramic loudspeaker headphone structure includes a positioning frame, a steel sheet and a vibrating member. A step portion is disposed in an inner edge at the rear of the positioning frame. The steel sheet has an area approximately equal to that of the positioning frame and is disposed with a sound-making member stacked by a plurality of ceramic material layers. A lead wire is welded to the sound-making member. The vibrating member is a sheet body and has an area approximately equal to that of the step portion of the positioning frame. The steel sheet is disposed at a front edge of the positioning frame. The vibrating member is embedded in the step portion of the positioning frame, and thus a sound-making module is formed. The sound-making module is assembled to a headphone, and after the sound-making member receives an audio signal, a sound is guided out through response of the vibrating member.

  • Patent number: 8111737
    Abstract: A bidirectional digital communication circuit and a bidirectional digital communication method for combining multi-channel signals to a duplex digital communication system apply time division multiplexing. The signals can be unidirectional and bidirectional; signals relationship is not necessary. The direction detector circuit determines signal directional automatically to avoid the signal loop. It's suitable for applying to fiber, cable or wireless communication system which is needed to minimize the communication channels.
