  • Patent number: 11970849
    Abstract: Mounting assemblies for waste disposers such as food waste disposers, waste disposers employing such mounting assemblies, and related methods are disclosed herein. Mounting assemblies include an engagement feature having a first engagement structure located on the body flange and a second engagement structure located on the upper portion of the disposer body. When the engagement feature is in the engaged position, the body flange and the disposer body are engaged, forming a combined disposer and body flange assembly. The combined disposer and body flange assembly can be lifted into alignment with the strainer flange assembly and rotated as a unit to engage the body flange with the mounting flange.

  • Patent number: 11872033
    Abstract: Systems, methods and graphical user interfaces for visualizing analyte measurements using animation are presented. For instance, a system for continuously monitoring analyte concentration in a physiological fluid includes a sensor, a transmitter, at least one processor and a display. The display is for outputting a graphical user interface. The display is controlled by the at least one processor to display, using the graphical user interface, historical analyte concentration levels and a trend indication animation. The trend indication animation comprises at least one visual element configured by the at least one processor to have a periodic motion between a first position and a second position on the display in one of a plurality of trend directions. The trend direction of the periodic motion between the first and second positions indicates whether the analyte concentration is increasing or decreasing and the rate of change of the analyte concentration level.

  • Publication number: 20220400985
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for improved continuous glucose monitoring (“CGM”). The disclosed systems and methods provide for tracking analyte measurements, CGM-related event data, and sensor-related data. This data is combined and presented in connection with a graphical user interface that allows for improved functionality. Aspects of the disclosure allow for analyte measurements to be displayed in a graphical user interface that includes historical graphs of analyte measurements and incorporate event data as a plurality of event indications. The time frame of the historical graph can be altered by the user and the events can be presented a group within an event indication based on the time frame of the historical graph. The graphical user interface may also be configured to display graph trend data for each individual event as well as a sensor-life indication representing the period of time remaining before expiration of an analyte sensor.

  • Publication number: 20060144212
    Abstract: An electronic tone generation system including a plurality of separate, portable, handheld transmitters, or batons, that are provided as “instruments” to one or more players. Each baton can be activated to send a signal, preferably a wireless signal, to a single receiver which produces an output signal fed to a tone generator, preferably a MIDI tone generator, which produces audible sounds via an amplifier and speakers. For example, the batons can correspond to different musical notes as played by a selected musical instrument and the batons can be played in concert to produce a musical or other audible presentation. Alternatively, selected batons can be designated to play in one voice, while others batons are set to play other voices.

  • Publication number: 20050098021
    Abstract: An electronic tone generation system including a plurality of separate, portable, handheld transmitters, or batons, that are provided as “instruments” to numerous players to form a choir. Each baton is activated by one of the players to send a signal, preferably a wireless signal, to a single receiver which produces an output signal fed to a tone generator, preferably a MIDI tone generator, which produces audible sounds via an amplifier and speakers. For example, the batons can correspond to different musical notes as played by a selected musical instrument and the batons can be played in concert by the choir to produce a musical or other audible presentation. Alternatively, selected batons can be designated to play in one voice, while others batons are set to play other voices.
