  • Patent number: 11857018
    Abstract: A light-emitting system is provided which is removably attachable to headgear for personal illumination to enhance visibility of the user to others. The light-emitting system includes a housing that defines a receiving aperture and is configured to surround a portion of the headgear when the light-emitting system is removably attached to the headgear for use. The light-emitting system further includes at least one lens and a plurality of lighting elements coupled to the annular housing which are configured to selectively generate a halo or at least a partial halo of light that radiates outwardly away from the annular housing through the at least one lens to provide enhanced personal illumination.

  • Publication number: 20230415116
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for generating capsules with a matrix shell encasing an oil core. The method includes: providing in a first chamber a core-forming emulsion of an aqueous dispersed phase in an oil phase including water and a dissolved gelation-inducing agent, and a first surfactant; providing in a second chamber a second aqueous solution including water and a second surfactant; wherein the first chamber and the second chamber are fluidically connected by one or more channels; guiding the core-forming emulsion from the first chamber through the channel(s) into the second chamber to form a dispersion of the core-forming emulsion in the aqueous solution; mixing the dispersion with an aqueous shell-forming solution including water and a water soluble matrix-forming agent; and reacting the gelation-inducing agent and the matrix-forming agent in the formed dispersion to form capsules of a water insoluble matrix shell encasing an oil core.

  • Publication number: 20230186115
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for data collection and development as well as providing user interaction policies are provided. In one embodiment, a method includes collecting contextual data for a first subset of a plurality of users. The method further includes generating a first set of contextual profiles for the first subset of the plurality of users based on the collected contextual data. Additionally, the method includes training one or more imputation models to develop the contextual data for the second subset of the plurality of users. The method also includes generating the contextual data for the second subset of the plurality of users using the one or more imputation models. Further, the method includes generating a second set of contextual profiles for the second subset of the plurality of users based on the generated contextual data for the second subset of the plurality of users.

  • Publication number: 20230133195
    Abstract: Glucose monitoring over phases and corresponding phased information display is described. A multi-phase glucose monitoring program that includes at least a first phase and a second phase is initiated. First glucose data of a user is obtained during the first phase of the multi-phase glucose monitoring program. The output of the first glucose data in a glucose monitoring user interface is prevented during the first phase of the multi-phase glucose monitoring program. Second glucose data of the user is then obtained during a second phase of the multi-phase glucose monitoring program. The second glucose data is output, in real-time, in the glucose monitoring user interface during the second phase of the multi-phase glucose monitoring program.

  • Publication number: 20220202319
    Abstract: Meal and activity logging with a glucose monitoring interface is described. A glucose monitoring application is configured to display a user interface that includes a glucose graph that plots glucose measurements of a user over time. The glucose measurements, for example, may be obtained from a glucose monitoring device that collects glucose measurements of the user at predetermined intervals, e.g., every five minutes. Unlike conventional event logging approaches, the glucose monitoring application displays representations of logged events in the user interface along with the glucose graph. The logged events, for example, may include meals consumed by the user, and/or various activities performed by the user, such as exercise, meditation, sleep, and so forth. Notably, the glucose monitoring application controls the display of the event representations to be presented at positions on the glucose graph that correspond to times associated with the respective events.

  • Publication number: 20220202320
    Abstract: User interfaces for glucose insight presentation are leveraged. A glucose monitoring application is configured to process glucose measurements to determine one or more glucose insights, e.g., about a user's glucose. The glucose measurements, for example, may be obtained from a glucose monitoring device that collects glucose measurements of the user at predetermined intervals, e.g., every five minutes. The glucose monitoring application configures a user interface, based on configuration data, to present one or more visual elements representative of the one or more glucose insights. For example, the glucose monitoring application may configure the user interface to include a visual element in the form of a color field which represents whether the user's current glucose measurement (e.g., the most recent glucose measurement obtained from the glucose monitoring device) is below, within, or above a glucose range.

  • Publication number: 20210267506
    Abstract: Techniques for data analysis and user guidance are provided. One or more current measurements of one or more current analyte levels for the user are received from a sensor. A pattern is generated based on the one or more current measurements and the one or more past measurements. A first alignment with a first user target is then determined based on the pattern, where the first user target relates to one or more of a mental state or physical state of the user. A first result is output to the user, based on the determined first alignment.
