Abstract: A computing system implementing an application service can determine, from a network dataset, that a network latency for a common network service provider crosses an upper latency threshold. Based on this determination, the system can determine a subset of the computing devices that utilize the common network service provider, and transmit a set of configuration signals to the subset of computing devices. The set of configuration signals can modify a set of default application configurations of a designated application to compensate for the network latency.

Abstract: A system can receive a request for a transport service from a first device. The request can include a user identifier associated with a first user of the first device, contact information associated with a second user, and a pickup location information. The system can make a determination whether a user account associated with the second user is stored in a user database using the contact information in the request. Based on the determination, the system can select a messaging protocol to transmit data to a second device associated with the contact information. The system can transmit a message corresponding to the transport service to the second device using the selected messaging protocol.

Abstract: A computing system implementing an application service can receive network data from computing devices of clients of the application service.

Abstract: A service configuration system for an application service can receive network data from computing devices of clients of the application service. The system can determine, from the network data, that a network latency for a subset of the computing devices crosses outside a latency range, and determine whether the subset of computing devices utilize a common network service provider. Based on determining that the subset of computing devices utilize a common network service provider, the system can transmit a set of configuration signals to the subset of computing devices, which modify a set of default application configurations of the designated application to compensate for the network latency.

Abstract: A service configuration system for an application service receives network data from a plurality of user devices, where each of the plurality of user devices runs a designated application specific to a service entity providing the application service. The service configuration system can determine, from the network data, that a network latency for a subset of the plurality of user device crosses a latency range bound by an upper and a lower latency threshold. The service configuration system may then generate and transmit a configuration signal to configure properties of the application service and/or the designated application running on the subset of user devices to compensate for the network latency.

Abstract: The present invention provides apparatuses and methods for marking components, supplies and kits of drug administration devices and other medical systems with quality assurance information. The invention also provides apparatuses and methods for tracking time of use of such components, supplies and kits and various apparatuses and methods for preventing use or reuse of tainted, recalled or unrecognized components, supplies and kits. Quality assurance markers (QAMs) are described which store information regarding the identity and manufacturer of disposable components, supplies and kits. The invention utilizes several QAM modalities, such as, among others, 1-D and 2-D bar codes, 1-D and 2-D symbologies, holograms, written text, radio frequency identification devices (RFIDs), integrated chip smart cards, and EEPROMs.

Abstract: Disclosed is a capnometry apparatus for receiving respiratory gas from a respiratory cannula positioned on a patient. An integrated host controller alerts a user if the capnometry apparatus is connected or not connected to the respiratory cannula based in part on a signal output from a capnometer located in the capnometry apparatus. The host controller also includes the functionality to shut off the capnometer pump with or without a time delay when the capnometer signal output indicates the capnometer pump is not connected to the cannula. An ambient-air pressure sensor located in the capnometry apparatus alerts the host controller if the capnometry apparatus has been moved to a new location with a substantially different altitude than the first location, in which case the host controller will issue an alert to a user prompting a calibration of the capnometry apparatus.
