Abstract: A lift pin assembly includes a holder to engage and secure the lift pin and a bellow to actuate the lift pin and the holder linearly and vertically. The holder includes three pieces that connect together to secure the lift pin within the holder. The holder includes a first piece having a recessed area, a second piece that nests within the recessed area, and a third piece adjacent the first and second pieces. The second piece contains a threaded hole to receive and secure the lift pin and the third piece contains a through-hole that aligns with the threaded hole of the second piece.

Abstract: A long gun carrier rests on a vehicle seat, and a slated top of the long gun carrier slopes generally downward and forward. One or more gun-holding channels formed in slanted top, each configured to hold a long gun pointed generally forward and downward, toward the vehicle floor. The long guns may be secured in the gun-holding channels by strap assemblies. Long guns are conveniently placed into and extracted from the long gun carrier, held securely during transportation, and pointed in a safe direction during transport.

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.
