Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for mitigating the risk of insulin stacking in automated insulin delivery systems. In AID systems configured to both automatically calculate insulin delivery based on glucose levels and receive manual programming of meal boluses configured to counteract carbohydrates in a meal, insulin stacking can result if the system automatically increases insulin delivery based on a rise in glucose levels in response to consumption of a meal and the user later programs a meal bolus for the meal. The risk of such double dosing is mitigated by the systems and methods disclosed herein by enabling the system to account for recent automated insulin increases when a meal bolus is programmed.

Abstract: A system and method for utilizing a carbide-derived carbon (CDC) fiber in solid-phase micro extraction. Optically pumping the carbide-derived carbon (CDC) fiber, as compared to using thermal desorption, enhances performance of the system. CDC provides for a broad based sorbent that is insensitive to high humidity. Optical pumping may be done axially or radially on a modified gas chromatography needle. In some cases, staged, or pulsed, optical pumping is used to drive off solvent or other lower boiling compounds first and then the desorption of the remaining analytes is cleaner and the instrumentation is less likely to be overloaded.

Abstract: A content management system may maintain a scene description that represents a 3D virtual environment and a publish/subscribe model in which clients subscribe to content items that correspond to respective portions of the shared scene description. When changes are made to content, the changes may be served to subscribing clients. Rather than transferring entire descriptions of assets to propagate changes, differences between versions of content may be exchanged, which may be used construct updated versions of the content. Portions of scene description may reference other content items and clients may determine whether to request and load these content items for lazy loading. Content items may be identified by Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) used to reference the content items. The content management system may maintain states for client connections including for authentication, for the set of subscriptions in the publish/subscribe model, and for their corresponding version identifiers.
