  • Publication number: 20240071593
    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.

  • Publication number: 20230140620
    Abstract: A multi-positional helmet visor system in which the visor can be repositioned to a plurality of positions. Cooperating structures in the visor and helmet inhibit the unwanted changes in visor position. The helmet uses a magnetic source disposed on a boss in a sliding element of the visor, which cooperates and mates with a series of ferromagnetic elements disposed in detents along the medial front to assist in holding the visor in place. The magnetic force and boss-detent structures inhibit unwanted movement of the visor. The visor may be inhibited from being lowered into the cyclist’s field of view by sets of cooperating stops on the visor and helmet.

  • Patent number: 5372121
    Abstract: A cooktop has a recessed portion surrounding a burner opening. The recessed portion includes bosses with grate supporting surfaces below the upper surface of the cooktop, and dams with vertical inner surfaces. A grate has a rectangular base with a vertical side wall and a bottom edge. The grate is mounted in the recessed portion, aligned with the burner opening, with the base bottom edge resting on the grate supporting surfaces of the bosses and with the grate side wall adjacent the vertical inner surfaces of the dams. The base includes tabs aligned with the dams and extending downwardly to provide greater height at the portions of the side wall aligned with the dams.
