  • Publication number: 20250250098
    Abstract: A compact container for small items includes a housing with an opening at one end and a tray designed to hold small items and slide into and out of the housing. The housing includes an additional opening for dispensing items. The tray has walls with a gap that aligns with the additional opening when inserted into the housing, allowing items to pass through for dispensing. The housing includes a door to cover the additional opening. The tray includes anchors that engage with receptacles in the housing to secure the tray. The anchors can disengage from the receptacles based on force applied to the housing or tray.

  • Publication number: 20230186115
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for data collection and development as well as providing user interaction policies are provided. In one embodiment, a method includes collecting contextual data for a first subset of a plurality of users. The method further includes generating a first set of contextual profiles for the first subset of the plurality of users based on the collected contextual data. Additionally, the method includes training one or more imputation models to develop the contextual data for the second subset of the plurality of users. The method also includes generating the contextual data for the second subset of the plurality of users using the one or more imputation models. Further, the method includes generating a second set of contextual profiles for the second subset of the plurality of users based on the generated contextual data for the second subset of the plurality of users.

  • Publication number: 20230133195
    Abstract: Glucose monitoring over phases and corresponding phased information display is described. A multi-phase glucose monitoring program that includes at least a first phase and a second phase is initiated. First glucose data of a user is obtained during the first phase of the multi-phase glucose monitoring program. The output of the first glucose data in a glucose monitoring user interface is prevented during the first phase of the multi-phase glucose monitoring program. Second glucose data of the user is then obtained during a second phase of the multi-phase glucose monitoring program. The second glucose data is output, in real-time, in the glucose monitoring user interface during the second phase of the multi-phase glucose monitoring program.

  • Patent number: 7624671
    Abstract: A hydraulic actuator for a hydraulic servomotor (4) is disclosed. The hydraulic servomotor (4) is of a kind having at least one defined end position, and has a first chamber (5) and a second chamber (6) associated therewith. The actuator is connected to a fluid source (2) and a fluid drain (3). The actuator comprises a first valve (7) fluidly connected between the fluid source (2) and the first chamber (5), a second valve (8) fluidly connected between the first chamber (5) and the fluid drain (3), and a third valve (9) fluidly connected between the fluid source (2) and the second chamber (6). The actuator further comprises a flow channel (10, 17), preferably comprising a flow restrictor (12, 18), in fluid communication with the second chamber (6). The valves (7, 8, 9) are such that, in the case of a power cut off, they will prevent a fluid flow out of the first chamber (5), and a fluid flow out of the second chamber (6) takes place via the flow channel (10, 17).
