Abstract: A method, computer usable program product, or a system for managing a blood glucose level of a person including providing a device worn exterior to the person for monitoring a set of treatment factors and a set of environmental factors associated with the person, predicting a blood glucose level for the person based on the set of treatment factors and the set of environmental factors, and responsive to predicting a blood glucose level for the person dropping lower than a predetermined minimum value, supplying carbohydrates to the person.

Abstract: A method, system or computer usable program product for managing a potential choking condition with a monitoring system including monitoring by the monitoring system by detecting relative positions of a set of emitters disposed along an object, wherein a choking condition is indicated by the set of emitters being on close proximity to a neck portion of a body and arranged in a potentially choking configuration, and responsive to the determination of the choking condition, the monitoring system performing an action.

Abstract: A traffic control signal has a structure upon which traffic control indicia are formed. At least one LED is formed upon the structure so as to attract attention to the indicia. The LED(s) have a brightness of at least 6,000 millicandella and preferably have a brightness of between approximately 6,000 millicandella and approximately 60,000 millicandella.

Abstract: An alternative emergency power supply for LED traffic signal lights. The power supply includes an alternative power source, a power state detector, a circuit transfer switch, and a blink cycle timer and can be mounted on or in a traffic signal head. The power state detector can differentiate between a power failure in a traffic head and a main power supply failure. Upon a power failure, the LED traffic signal light and the alternative power source are disconnected from the main power supply lines. The LED traffic signal light may be 8 or 12 inches in diameter having an S-base, screw-in or Type II design and is placed into a flash mode for between about 12 hours and about 24 hours, or until normal power is restored. A coded signal is communicated to provide indication of a true main power supply failure.
