Abstract: Pre-connected analyte sensors are provided. A pre-connected analyte sensor includes a sensor carrier attached to an analyte sensor. The sensor carrier includes a substrate configured for mechanical coupling of the sensor to testing, calibration, or wearable equipment. The sensor carrier also includes conductive contacts for electrically coupling sensor electrodes to the testing, calibration, or wearable equipment.

Abstract: A radiation-treatment plan to treat a treatment target in a given patient takes into account imaging-based dosing of that patient by, for example, automatically accounting for radiation dosing of the given patient that results from imaging to determine at least one physical position of the given patient when forming the radiation-treatment plan. These teachings are particularly beneficial when applied in application settings where the aforementioned imaging comprises obtaining images using megavoltage-sourced radiation. By one approach these teachings provide for automatically accounting for radiation dosing of the given patient that results from imaging by, at least in part, automatically adjusting therapeutic dosing of the given patient as a function of the radiation dosing of the given patient that results from such imaging.

Abstract: Methods and computer programs for determining outcome of an online slot game includes receiving a spin action from a player, during game play of the online slot game. A profile graph is identified for the player. The profile graph is defined by a template with a plurality of peaks and valleys defined therein. The peaks represent a higher probability of generating a winning result and the valleys represent a higher probability of generating a losing result. Each spin action of the player corresponds to a distinct point in the profile graph. A number of virtual spins defined for the point corresponding to the spin action is determined based on location of the point in the profile graph. The defined number of virtual spins is performed and a highest or a lowest result is selected from the virtual spins for presenting to the player, in response to the spin action.
