  • Publication number: 20240156395
    Abstract: Techniques for generating a user interface view including sensor data representative of analyte levels of a host are disclosed. In certain embodiments, a technique includes accessing sensor data including a plurality of analyte readings of the host during a plurality of time periods, wherein each analyte reading is indicative of an analyte level of the host at a respective time. The technique further includes generating a first user interface (UI) view comprising one or more UI elements based on the plurality of analyte levels of the host, and, in response to receiving a user selection of a pregnancy mode, automatically modifying a parameter of at least one UI element included in the one or more UI elements to reflect a pregnancy-specific parameter. The technique further includes generating a second UI view based on the plurality of analyte levels of the host and the pregnancy-specific parameter.

  • Patent number: 4278110
    Abstract: A demand responsive flow controller for use in a respiration system for the administration of oxygen from a pressurized source through a cannula to a patient is disclosed. A flow path between the pressurized source and the cannula is opened and closed by a fluidic valve which is responsive to the presence and absence of a low pressure power stream developed by a flow restrictor coupled to the pressurized source. The low pressure power stream is applied to the control port of the on/off fluidic valve by a monostable fluidic switch which conducts the low pressure power stream through the valve control port of the on/off valve in response to expiration by the patient, and which diverts the low pressure power stream away from the on/off valve in response to inspiration by the patient.
