  • Publication number: 20240071593
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that provide smart alerts to users, e.g., alerts to users about diabetic states that are only provided when it makes sense to do so, e.g., when the system can predict or estimate that the user is not already cognitively aware of their current condition, e.g., particularly where the current condition is a diabetic state warranting attention. In this way, the alert or alarm is personalized and made particularly effective for that user. Such systems and methods still alert the user when action is necessary, e.g., a bolus or temporary basal rate change, or provide a response to a missed bolus or a need for correction, but do not alert when action is unnecessary, e.g., if the user is already estimated or predicted to be cognitively aware of the diabetic state warranting attention, or if corrective action was already taken.

  • Publication number: 20160018508
    Abstract: A time-reversal positioning system includes a storage storing first data representing channel impulse responses derived from probe signals sent from a plurality of positions and second data representing coordinates of the positions. A data processor determines a position of a terminal device based on the stored channel impulse responses and a time-reversed signal determined based on a time-reversed version of a channel impulse response that is estimated based on a channel probing signal sent from the terminal device.

  • Publication number: 20060290941
    Abstract: A quantum key distribution system includes an optical transmitter that generates a multiplexed QKD data and polarization reference signal, wherein a relative polarization of a QKD data signal component and a polarization reference signal component of the multiplexed QKD data is known. A quantum channel propagates the multiplexed QKD data and polarization reference signal. An optical receiver includes a demultiplexer that demultiplexes the multiplexed QKD data and the polarization reference signal. The optical receiver also includes a detector that detects an intensity of the demultiplexed polarization reference signal. In addition, the optical receiver includes a polarization transformer that transforms a polarization of the demultiplexed QKD data signal in response to the detected intensity so that a polarization axis of the QKD data signal is substantially the same as a polarization axis of the QKD data signal generated by the optical transmitter.
