  • Publication number: 20120059673
    Abstract: A diabetes data management system selects variable threshold parameters that are utilized in a report. A first low threshold glucose reading and a first high threshold glucose reading for a before meal event timeframe are selected. A second low threshold glucose reading and a second high threshold glucose reading are selected for an after meal event timeframe. The threshold readings are stored in a database. The diabetes data management system analyzes glucose behavior around meal events. The system receives a plurality of glucose readings for a time period, receives a first time range as a pre-meal analysis period for the first meal event and receives a second time range as a post-meal analysis period for the first meal event. The system creates a graph which highlights the pre-meal analysis period, the post-meal analysis period, and displays the plurality of glucose readings for the time period.

  • Patent number: 6738506
    Abstract: An image processing system for use in semiconductor wafer inspection comprises a multiplicity of self-contained image processors for independently performing image cross-correlation and defect detection. The system may also comprise an image normalization engine for performing image brightness and contrast normalization. The self-contained image processors and image normalization engine access image data from a memory array; the array is fed data from a multiplicity of imaging modules operating in parallel. The memory array is configured to allow simultaneous access for data input, normalization, and cross-correlation and defect detection. Multiple image processing systems can be configured in parallel as a single image processing computer, all sending defect data to a common display module.
