Abstract: A wireless device is provided to act as a caching data proxy for a first device, which may or may not be wireless. In particular, a cellular telephone is associated as a caching data proxy for a wireless portable computing device. The cellular telephone caches data as a proxy for the portable computing device when the portable computing device is either out of network coverage, powered down, or the like.

Abstract: A billing system and method for providing both business and personal data access to a user of a wireless communications device is provided. A user enters an access request, and it is determined if the access request is a personal type access request or a business type access request. Personal type access requests are processed in order to provide billing for the personal requests to the user of the wireless communications device, and business type access requests are processed to provide billing to the business. Such systems and methods provide enhanced convenience to mobile workers while avoiding additional costs associated with such services being incurred by the business.

Abstract: Processing of genomic data is facilitated by providing a control data set generation system wherein a control generator tool or process creates matched data sets for facilitating informatics analysis. These matched data sets may include genomic loci or genomic sequences, or both. The data is taken from a database of actual genomic data, including sequence and annotation data, as opposed to ad-hoc generation, sequence scrambling or the like. This produces biologically relevant and accurate results which allow for stronger controls. The controls are matched against a user-provided data set via a number of parameters.

Abstract: Processing of genomic data is facilitated utilizing correlation analysis of mapped data sets, each data set including genomic data mapped and ordered relative to a genomic coordinate system. Correlation analysis identifies at a nucleotide level nucleotide positions wherein at least one nucleotide locus of each data set correlate. The analysis includes for each data set, selecting a nucleotide locus thereof closest to one end of the coordinate system, comparing the selected nucleotide loci for correlation, and if so, outputting results of the comparing, and updating the selected nucleotide loci by identifying the data set having a next nucleotide locus closest to the one end of the coordinate system, and inserting that next locus into the group of selected loci, and repeating the comparing for the newly selected loci. The process is repeated until nucleotide loci of the mapped data sets are compared and results of the comparison are output.

Abstract: Processing of genomic data is facilitated by providing a storage device with a database having a segmented sequence table. The table has a plurality of data subsets of common nucleotide sequence size n, wherein?2, and each data subset of common nucleotide sequence n is separately indexed within the table. A database manager associated with the database retrieves a selected nucleotide sequence locus from the table. The selected nucleotide sequence locus is sized differently from the common nucleotide sequence size n, and the retrieving includes identifying each data subset of the segmented sequence table containing at least a portion of the selected nucleotide sequence locus, and retrieving the identified data subsets. The database manager processes the retrieved, identified data subsets to remove genomic data mapped to the nucleotide positions outside the selected nucleotide sequence locus, and outputs the selected nucleotide sequence locus.

Abstract: Processing of genomic data is provided utilizing correlation analysis of first and second nucleotide loci employing a selected comparison type and value. The comparison type is either intersection or proximity type, and the comparison value is either a number (n) of nucleotide positions, wherein n?1, or a percent number (pn) of nucleotide positions, wherein pn?0, to be employed in comparing the loci. When intersection type is selected, correlation is defined by the loci overlapping with at least the number (n) of nucleotide positions in common, or by the loci overlapping with at least the percent number (pn) of nucleotide positions in common relative to a smaller one of the first and second loci, or when proximity type is selected, correlation is defined by the first and second loci being within at least the number (n) of nucleotide positions.

Abstract: A computer implemented method and associated apparatus for the combined control of insulin bolus dosing and basal delivery for the goal of achieving normal glycemic response to meals, exercise, stressors, and other perturbations to blood glucose levels. A run-to-run algorithm is used to monitor blood glucose levels and adjust insulin delivery as conditions are varied.
