Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for generating graphical displays of analyte data and/or health information. In some implementations, the graphical displays are generating based on a self-referential dataset that are modifiable based on identified portions of the data. The modified graphical displays can indicate features in the analyte data of a host.

Abstract: A pump for pumping fluid includes a tube platen, a plunger, a bias member, inlet and outlet valves, an actuator mechanism, a position sensor, and a processor. The plunger is configured for actuation toward and away from the infusion-tube when the tube platen is disposed opposite to the plunger. The tube platen can hold an intravenous infusion tube. The bias member is configured to urge the plunger toward the tube platen.

Abstract: A method for reducing outside air inflow required for aircraft passenger cabin air quality is provided. The method determines when passenger cabin air quality is the driving outside air inflow requirement and reduces the outside air inflow to that required for passenger cabin air quality. In one embodiment, there is provided a method for reducing outside air inflow required for aircraft passenger cabin air quality using a fixed minimum outflow valve open area setpoint. In another embodiment, there is provided a method for reducing outside air inflow required for aircraft passenger cabin air quality using calculations that are repeated at regular intervals and using a mathematical function relating an outside air inflow requirement to a set of independent variables.

Abstract: Methods, environmental control systems, and computer program products are provided for controlling an internal environment of a pressurized compartment of a vehicle. In one aspect, the pressurized compartment includes first and second exit valves for selectively allowing gas to exit the pressurized compartment. The first and second exit valves are located, respectively, in spaced apart portions of the pressurized compartment. The pressurized compartment also includes first and second systems that are located, respectively, in the spaced apart portions of the pressurized compartment. Flow rates of gases in the first and second systems are determined and at least one of the first and second exit valves is controlled in response to the flow rate determinations.
