Abstract: An excavation system is disclosed for use with a mobile machine having a work tool. The excavation system may have a speed sensor configured to generate a first signal indicative of a travel speed of the mobile machine, and at least one load sensor configured to generate a second signal indicative of loading of the work tool.

Abstract: The claimed invention provides personalized glucose and insulin information to a user in need thereof. Non-invasive body fluid capture techniques utilize saliva to provide body levels of glucose and insulin as well as optional pharmaceutical ingestion coordinated over time. Saliva captured on cellulose strips are analyzed in real time using oxidation and aptamer conjugate hybridization together with traditional analytical chemistry techniques including liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) and coordinated against time of pharmaceutical administration. By embracing the P4 (Participatory, Personalized, Predictive, and Preventive) health management method the patient can determine glucose and insulin related wellness levels and if a pharmaceutical is having the correct and desired effect for maximum therapeutic benefit.
