Abstract: A testing system and method for providing a testing system includes a user interface having a display for displaying information relating to measurements of health data and an input device for receiving information from a user relating to the health data. Provided in connection with the user interface is an autologging feature adapted to provide the user with user-selectable options on the display. Also provided is a statistical operation adapted to provide the user with enhanced information relating to the measurements of health data. Also provided is at least one indicator for indicating information relating to the number of health data readings that are within a target range, the number of health data readings that are above the target range and the number of health data readings that are below the target range.

Abstract: A portable data-management system may be easily employed with multiple processing devices by eliminating the need to pre-install additional programs, agents, device drivers, or other software components on the hosts. A portable storage device contains software for a data-management application, which receives and processes test data from a meter that measures an analyte. The portable device may employ an interface protocol that makes the portable device immediately compatible with different operating systems and hardware configurations. Once the portable device is connected to the host, the data-management application can be automatically launched. The convenience and portability of a data-management system may be enhanced by integrating advanced data processing and display features with the portable device. The users may access some advanced presentations of health data without having to launch the data-management application on a separate host.

Abstract: An input corresponding to a time window is received in an integrated container management system. For containers of a specific container type, a network flow solver implementing a multi-commodity network flow problem is executed based on the input. A graph is generated with nodes representing depot locations, mode of transport locations and customer locations. Arcs connecting nodes, and representing operations and costs associated with the nodes are generated. Pick-up arcs are generated between the depot locations and customer locations. Return arcs are generated between the customer locations and the depot locations. Street turn arcs are generated among customer locations. Unload load arcs are generated between the mode of transport locations and the depot locations. Output tables are generated with values representing functionalities associated with container repositioning, container pick-up and return, and container street turn.

Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods for optimizing vehicle utilization are described herein. The method includes determining demand, supply, and availability of vehicles. A graph with nodes (representing source and destination stations of orders) and arcs connecting nodes is generated based on validity conditions, e.g., there is network connectivity from source to destination node, etc. The arc is assigned for repositioning, waiting, and loaded move based upon input such as tolerable delay for orders, waiting cost at stations, repositioning cost, long stand cost, revenue generated from orders, order priority, etc. A network flow solver is successively executed to solve the graph to maximize profit, optimized utilization of vehicles, fulfill order on time, and balance demand and supply. Output tables including key performance indicators (KPIs) and information of fulfilled and unfulfilled orders are generated.

Abstract: In optimized container management system, a booking request with customer locations, booking time, container type, movement mode, depot locations and depot locations stock information are received as input in a solver in a container management system received in a container management system. Based on the movement mode of booking request received by customer, solver algorithm is invoked to build a bipartite graph. A bipartite graph with nodes representing customer locations and depot locations are generated, based on the movement mode. Edges between the customer locations and the depot locations are generated based on a container balancing criteria of a solver algorithm. For remaining booking request, edges between the customer locations and the depot locations are generated based on a cost minimization criteria of the solver algorithm. The depot locations are assigned to the corresponding customer locations based on satisfying the container balancing criteria and the cost minimization criteria.
