  • Publication number: 20220031955
    Abstract: A method for enhancing data quality of a drug dose dispense data set to automatically provide dispense data reflecting actually injected dose amounts. For a given dispense session the method comprises the steps of creating a list of possible dispense patterns in accordance with a set of pattern rules and then for each pattern in the list calculate a weight allowing a winning pattern to be determined. Each dispense pattern is a particular sequence of priming events and injection events, with each dispense pattern being a possible interpretation of the dispense events in the current session. For each pattern a combined pattern weight being the product of weight factors for each dispense in the pattern is calculated, wherein each weight factor is determined in accordance with a weight factor vs dispense size function for the given dispense type and dispense size, wherein the larger the dispense size, the more likely it is to represent an injection event and the less likely it is to represent a priming event.

  • Publication number: 20190272813
    Abstract: A kit for attenuation of noise includes a noise source audio transducer, two ear pieces, and a control unit. The two ear pieces have respective resilient bodies that engage outer portions of ear canals of respective ears of a user while respective in-ear transducers of the two ear pieces are respectively positioned in inner portions of the ear canals. The respective in-ear transducers detect discrepancies (e.g., incomplete superpositioning) between the noise and the anti-noise. The respective in-ear transducers optionally detect respective secondary path effects in the ear canals. The noise source audio transducer detects noise generated by a noise source (e.g., snoring noise). The control unit configures an adaptive filter based at least in part on an error signal, and optionally based in part on secondary path effects. The control unit generates signals representative of anti-noise. The two ear pieces produce the anti-noise responsive to the signals.
