Abstract: Systems and methods for a continuous monitoring of analyte values received from an analyte sensor system are provided. One method for a wireless data communication between an analyte sensor system and a mobile device involves storing identification information associated with a transceiver of the analyte sensor system, the identification information entered by a user of the mobile device via a custom application running on the mobile device; causing the custom application to enter a background mode; searching for advertisement signals; receiving an advertisement signal from the transceiver; authenticating the transceiver based on the identification information; prompting the user to bring the custom application to a foreground mode; causing the custom application to request a confirmation from the user that a data connection with the transceiver is desired; receiving the confirmation from the user; and completing the data connection with the transceiver.

Abstract: A photovoltaic module includes at least two cell assemblies externally contactable at connecting contacts, which are arranged linearly at the rear side of the photovoltaic module in groups of two connecting contacts which are allocated to the cell assemblies. One connection socket is arranged on a rear side of the photovoltaic module, this connection socket having a housing which has at least one rear opening for passing the connecting contact through, wherein the housing covers all connecting contacts of the photovoltaic module. In a connection socket for such a photovoltaic module, the housing has an elongated shape, wherein all connecting contacts are arranged in a line along a longitudinal direction of the housing.

Abstract: Techniques are described for automatically generating meta-alerts based on operational and security risk alert volumes for an entity. In particular, a central device receives entity alert information from other devices in a computer system of an enterprise business, which may have office branches that are each staffed by employees. The central device compares alert volumes of a given entity for a given period of time (e.g., a month) to one or more baseline thresholds determined based on the average alert volume of peer entities during the same period of time and the entity's own historical alert volumes to identify spikes or increases in the volume of alerts for the given entity. If the entity is trending high for the period of time, the central device generates a meta-alert to bring awareness to the relatively high volume of alerts identified for that entity.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to polymer coatings covalently attached to the surface of a substrate and the preparation of the polymer coatings, such as poly(N-(5-azidoacetamidylpentyl)acrylamide-co-acrylamide) (PAZAM), in the formation and manipulation of substrates, such as molecular arrays and flow cells. The present disclosure also relates to methods of preparing a substrate surface by using beads coated with a covalently attached polymer, such as PAZAM, and the method of determining a nucleotide sequence of a polynucleotide attached to a substrate surface described herein.

Abstract: A friction fit vent cover is configured for installation into a ventilation opening in a building surface. The friction fit vent cover includes a main frame, a pair of side panels and at least one friction fit assembly. The at least one friction fit assembly includes a spring, preferably a compression spring, which is able to be moved into an energized position (such as a compressed position). The pair of side panels are in communication with the spring and are able to slide relative to the main frame. In use, the pair of side panels are frictionally held against bordering sides of a ventilation opening when the spring is in the energized position, thereby holding the friction fit vent cover therewithin.

Abstract: A cooking system includes a housing defining a hollow chamber configured to receive food. The housing has an upper portion defining an opening to said hollow chamber. A lid is movable relative to the housing between an open position and a closed position. The lid seals the opening to the hollow chamber when in the closed position. A portion of the lid is selectively positionable to form a pressure-tight heating volume between the hollow chamber and the portion of said lid. At least one heating element is associated with at least one of the housing and the lid. The at least one heating element is arranged within the pressure-tight heating volume.
