Abstract: A display unit is operationally connected to an agricultural implement to provide inputs and operational controls, as well as status and set up, of the implement. The display unit can be a touchscreen or other device that can receive inputs to set up, control, store information, and recall information associated with the operation of the implement. The display unit can provide a number of different types of inputs to allow for the control of the various components of the implement. Information shown, tracked, managed, communicated, or otherwise used by the system can be selected and set up by a user to customize the experience and to provide additional information useful for agricultural operations. The display unit can show and/or output alerts, messages, camera data, and/or other information based on aspects and/or functionality of the implement. The display unit can communicate with other display units associated with other agricultural implements.

Abstract: A mathematical model of type 1 diabetes (T1D) patient decision-making can be used to simulate, in silico, realistic glucose/insulin dynamics, for several days, in a variety of subjects who take therapeutic actions (e.g. insulin dosing) driven by either self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG) or continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). The decision-making (DM) model can simulate real-life situations and everyday patient behaviors. Accurate submodels of SMBG and CGM measurement errors are incorporated in the comprehensive DM model. The DM model accounts for common errors the patients are used to doing in their diabetes management, such as miscalculations of meal carbohydrate content, early/delayed insulin administrations and missed insulin boluses. The DM model can be used to assess in silico if/when CGM can safely substitute SMBG in T1D management, to develop and test guidelines for CGM driven insulin dosing, to optimize and individualize off-line insulin therapies and to develop and test decision support systems.

Abstract: A target object detecting device including first and second transmission signal generators, a wave transmitting array, first and second switches, and a controller is disclosed. The first and second transmission signal generators generate first and second transmission signals, respectively. The wave transmitting array has a plurality of wave transmitting elements which convert the first and second transmission signals into transmission waves. The first switch supplies the first transmission signal to one of the wave transmitting elements. The second switch supplies the second transmission signal to one of the wave transmitting elements. The controller performs a control in which the first switch switches the wave transmitting element to which the first transmission signal is supplied, from an element n to an element n+1, and the second switch switches the wave transmitting element to which the second transmission signal is supplied, from an element m to an element m+1.

Abstract: A semi-automated veterinary medicine delivery device may sense whether and how much air may have been incorporated into a dose delivered to an animal. The device may also sense an incomplete injection in some cases and may cause a second dose to be administered to make up for the incomplete dose. The device may compare a position sensor on a syringe in combination with a current sensor on a motor attached to the syringe to detect any abnormalities. In the case of an improper dose, the device may alert the user and administer a second dose.
