Publication number: 20240071593Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Anna Leigh DAVIS, Scott M.

Patent number: 11039684Abstract: An arm-based sit-stand workstation is disclosed in which a height-position of the attached workstation portion is adjustable via adjustment of the position of the articulating arm. The workstation comprises a release mechanism that allows the workstation to be locked in a non-adjustable height configuration and also be placed in an unlocked configuration in which a height position of the workstation portion can be adjusted without constant user actuation of the release mechanism during adjustment.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2019Date of Patent: June 22, 2021Assignee: Innovative Office Products, LLCInventor: Stephen J. Bowman

Publication number: 20190368651Abstract: The present application discloses an articulating support arm with one or more improved friction joint designs that use a non-annular bushing. In particular, the bushing is designed to interact with another portion of the friction joint to prevent rotational movement of the bushing, thereby minimizing the risk of joint malfunction. A bushing that interacts with a larger percentage of the width of a friction cylinder as compared to prior art devices, thereby improving the performance of the joint, is also disclosed. The improved friction joint according to the present invention may comprise an arm joint and/or tilter joint.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 13, 2019Publication date: December 5, 2019Applicant: Innovative Office Products, LLCInventors: Stephen J. Bowman, Carl J. Hochberg, Michael P. Smith, Mickey Lam

Patent number: 10463147Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an adjustable workstation for attaching to a support surface. The workstation includes a base having at least one fastener for securing the base to the support surface and a column attached to the top surface of the base. The column includes a lift configured to move between a lowered position adjacent to the support surface and a raised position located between the top end and the bottom end of the column. Attached to the lift is a worksurface having a front edge, and an extending member connects the lift to the worksurface. The extendable member is configured to adjust the location of the worksurface longitudinally from a retracted position to an extended position, wherein the front edge of the worksurface is vertically alignable with the front edge of the support surface when the extending member is in the extended position.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2018Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: Innovative Office Products, LLCInventors: Stephen J. Bowman, Matthew A. Sommerfield
