  • Patent number: 11278244
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for detecting changes or fluctuations in an analyte concentration signal that are abnormal, e.g., exceed a predetermined threshold, current trend of analyte concentration measurements, etc. Signals indicative of an analyte concentration in a host may be received from an analyte sensor. The signals may be monitored, and a determination can be made as to whether there is a change in the signal. Upon detecting such a change, the change can be compensated for such that a representation of the signal indicates the analyte concentration. Optionally, the cause of the detected changes or fluctuations can also be determined and information regarding the detected changes or fluctuations can be recorded and analyzed for subsequent optimization of the systems and methods as well for transmitting alerts, notifications, etc. to a user to take corrective action.

  • Patent number: 11119862
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for managing data in a distributed data storage system, such as but not limited to a cloud computing environment. In some embodiments, snapshots of a data set are uploaded from a source storage subsystem to a cloud store, along with intervening difference information volumes (DIVs). The DIVs are data structures that identify a set of updated data blocks that have been changed by the source storage subsystem between each successive pair of the snapshots. A reader subsystem requests and uses the latest DIV to request the latest set of changed data blocks from the cloud store, and uses the latest set of changed data blocks to update a previous snapshot to generate a copy of the most recent snapshot. The source and reader subsystems can comprise Internet of Things (IoT) devices, client devices, edge computing devices, etc. from different vendors and which utilize different protocols.
