Abstract: A method of annotating medical data may involve receiving, by a first device, medical data from one or more sensors of one or more medical devices and non-medical event data from one or more non-medical devices. The non-medical event data may indicate a non-medical device type. The method may involve annotating the medical data according to the non-medical event data, to produce annotated medical data, and transmitting the annotated medical data to a second device.

Abstract: Various techniques and apparatus permit fabrication of superconductive circuits and structures, for instance Josephson junctions, which may, for example be useful in quantum computers. For instance, a low magnetic flux noise trilayer structure may be fabricated having a dielectric structure or layer interposed between two elements or layers capable of superconducting. A superconducting via may directly overlie a Josephson junction. A structure, for instance a Josephson junction, may be carried on a planarized dielectric layer. A fin may be employed to remove heat from the structure. A via capable of superconducting may have a width that is less than about 1 micrometer. The structure may be coupled to a resistor, for example by vias and/or a strap connector.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject matter described in this disclosure can be implemented in electronic medical devices, wireless gateway devices, and remote database systems in a network environment where wireless connections are made between at least an electronic device and a wireless gateway device, and between the wireless gateway device or an access point and a remote database system. The electronic medical device, the wireless gateway device, or the remote database system may be configured to identify a data communication loss based on at least a mismatch of a confirmation acknowledgement attribute between two or more nodes in the network environment. Upon identifying the data communication loss, a notification can be provided to an entity such as a user so that data communication can be restored.

Abstract: Described herein are subcutaneous medication delivery applicators and adhesive patches with one or more openings in the patches that designate one or more desired injection sites for subcutaneous injection of a medication. The medication delivery applicator and the adhesive patch may both include circuitry and wireless short-range communications interfaces that allow for the two devices to communicate with one another in order to determine if they are pre-associated in some manner, such as would be the case if both devices were packaged in the same injection kit. The medication delivery applicator may have some form of safety interlock that is only disengaged by the circuitry upon verifying that the two devices are pre-associated in some manner. Various other implementations are described as well.

Abstract: Disclosed are devices and methods for detecting activation of an electronic device, including a biomedical and biometric device. The electronic device can operate in a low-power mode until it is determined that the electronic device is in close proximity to or in contact with a body, and activated. The electronic device can include a first sensor including a first capacitance sensor, a second sensor, and a controller coupled to the first sensor and the second sensor. The controller can receive a first signal from the first sensor and determine that the electronic device is in close proximity to or in contact with a body based on the first signal, and receive a second signal from the second sensor and determine that the electronic device is activated based on one or both of the first signal and the second signal. The electronic device can transition from the low-power mode to an active mode in response to determining that the electronic device is activated.

Abstract: Techniques provided herein are directed toward accurately determining when an item is removed from a blister pack by utilizing capacitive sensors. The capacitive sensors may be positioned on each blister of the blister and may detect the presence of the skin of the finger and/or the whether the blister has been deformed, which can occur when an item is removed from the blister. Some embodiments may determine whether skin was detected at the time of extraction to determine whether extraction was intentional.
