Abstract: Techniques for controlling an insulin pump include determining values for parameters selected from a group including a first prediction time horizon, a predicted glucose threshold (Goff) for turning the insulin pump off, a maximum shut off time within a time window, and duration of the time window. A safety rule is determined based on the maximum shut off time within the duration. Glucose readings are collected up to a current time. An expected current glucose value G and glucose temporal rate of change are determined based only on the glucose readings and a Kalman filter configured for noisy glucose readings. A glucose level (Gh1) is predicted for a future time that is the prediction time horizon after the current time. A command is issued to shut off the insulin pump if it is determined both that Gh1 is less than Goff and that the safety rule is satisfied.

Abstract: The present invention applies a particle filter method to the PUCK model for calculating a true market price. First, a probability density function of a parameter is obtained by generating a group of particles having parameters representing the state of the PUCK model each having different values.

A random number is compared with a predetermined value, where particles are regenerated in accordance with probability density function such as a normal distribution for making a parameter value of the model at time (t) into a mean value when the random number is greater than the predetermined value, and where the particles are regenerated taking a uniform distribution as the probability density function when the random number is less than the predetermined value.
