Abstract: Methods, devices and systems are disclosed for inter-app communications between software applications on a mobile communications device. In one aspect, a computer-readable medium on a mobile computing device comprising an inter-application communication data structure to facilitate transitioning and distributing data between software applications in a shared app group for an operating system of the mobile computing device includes a scheme field of the data structure providing a scheme id associated with a target software app to transition to from a source software app, wherein the scheme id is listed on a scheme list stored with the source software app; and a payload field of the data structure providing data and/or an identification where to access data in a shared file system accessible to the software applications in the shared app group, wherein the payload field is encrypted.

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.

Abstract: A system for predicting pressure waves in a sonic boom footprint calculates alternative footprints and pressure waves along a flight path based on speed and altitude modifiers. The available, adjustable parameters are bounded within a flight envelope and along an approved flight corridor. The system receives and incorporates data from external sources, such as weather data, that impacts sonic boom pressure wave predictions and aircraft performance characteristics.

Abstract: A system includes a display device, a haptic feedback device coupled to the display device, and a control circuit. The control circuit is configured to receive an indication of a sonic boom. The control circuit is configured to cause the display device to display a visual representation of the indication of the sonic boom. The control circuit is configured to cause the haptic feedback device to output feedback corresponding to the sonic boom.

Abstract: A processor includes a processor core and a power management controller operable to receive a timer event, store the timer event, generate a hardware system sleep command to enter a hardware system sleep state, and restore the timer event upon exiting from the hardware system sleep state.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for generating a probability density to estimate the probability that an event will occur in a region of interest. The methods input spatial event data comprising one or more events occurring in the region of interest along with auxiliary data related to the region of interest. The auxiliary data comprises non-event data having spatial resolution such that the probability density estimate for the region of interest is calculated based on a function of the auxiliary data and the event data. In particular, the auxiliary data is used to generate a penalty functional used in the calculation of the probability density estimate.

Abstract: A method of gamma glutamyltransferase (GGT) analysis is suitable for use with hemolyzed fluid or dried whole blood samples which avoids the need for protein precipitation or centrifugation of the sample. Analysis is by first mixing a fluid or dried whole blood sample with a phosphate buffered saline solution containing a non-ionic biological detergent. The mixture is then vigorously agitated for one hour at room temperature. The activity of the GGT is then determined by reacting the mixture with a GGT substrate. Color is developed by a diazo coupling reaction with the enzyme reaction product. The intensity of the color is then measured.
