The memory system may also use a set of timers to determine latency information for the memory system. In response to a request for performance information, the memory system may transmit state information, latency information, or both to a host system.

Abstract: A decision support method and system is provided for monitoring and treating pediatric obesity. Embodiments include generating obesity risk curves corresponding to obesity risk levels, for example, severe and morbid obesity risk levels. Generating obesity risk curves depends on predicting at least one health proxy such as, for example, spend data and chronic conditions. Generating severe obesity curves depends on an age-dependent multiplier. An obesity risk level is assigned to a target pediatric patient using the obesity risk curves dependent on the age-dependent multiplier. In some aspects, an intervening response is initiated based on the assigned obesity risk level.

Abstract: A part is positioned between a display and an image capturing device pointed toward the display. A visual feedback loop is conducted using the display and the image capturing device to refine a part profile picture on the display corresponding to a profile of the part in an image captured by the image capturing device. The visual feedback loop recursively projects on a display screen an input picture containing a pattern region; captures images of the part while the display is displaying the input picture; based on the captured image, refines a picture that more closely corresponds to the profile of the part; and sets the refined image to be a next input image. The feedback loop iteratively refines the picture projected on the display screen until it becomes the part profile picture.

A first device configured to be worn at an ear includes a processor configured to, in a first contextual mode, receive a first mode change request from a second device to transition at a first time to a second contextual mode. The first mode change request is based on detection of a trigger condition. The processor is further configured to, at the first time, transition from the first contextual mode to the second contextual mode based on the first mode change request.

Abstract: A vapour generating device includes: a tubular body having a bore and having a longitudinal axis; a heater arranged to vaporize a liquid; a mouthpiece located at an end of the bore and configured for a user to apply a suction force to draw the vaporised liquid along the bore from the heater to the mouthpiece; and first and second baffles located in the bore between the heater and the mouthpiece. The baffles are staggered apart from each other around the longitudinal axis and along the longitudinal axis. Each one of the baffles is movable by the suction force to partially obstruct the width of the bore, thereby to cause the vaporised liquid to follow a tortuous path around the first and second baffles to the mouthpiece and to block the passage of drops of non-vaporised liquid to the mouthpiece.
