Publication number: 20240041366Abstract: A sensor, system, and method for detecting and correcting for an effect on an analyte indicator of an analyte sensor. The analyte indicator may have a first detectable property that varies in accordance with an analyte concentration and an effect on (e.g., degradation of) the analyte indicator. The analyte sensor may also include an interferent indicator having a second detectable property (e.g., absorption) that varies in accordance the effect on the analyte indicator. The analyte sensor may generate (i) an analyte measurement based on the first detectable property of the analyte indicator and (ii) an interferent measurement based on the second detectable property of the interferent indicator. The analyte sensor may be part of a system that also includes a transceiver. The transceiver may use the analyte and interferent measurements to calculate an analyte level.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Applicant: Senseonics, IncorporatedInventors: Andrew DeHennis, Mark Mortellaro, Abhi Chavan, Venkata Velvadapu, Philip Huffstetler, James Masciotti, Patricia Sanchez

Patent number: 11672450Abstract: Disclosed are analyte monitoring systems and methods for calibrating an analyte sensor using one or more reference measurements. These systems and methods may include using a conversion function and first sensor data to calculate a first sensor analyte level, weighting a first reference analyte measurement (RM1) and one or more previous reference analyte measurements according to a weighted average cost function, updating the conversion function using the weighted RM1 and the one or more weighted previous reference analyte measurements as calibration points, and using the updated conversion function and second sensor data to calculate a second sensor analyte level. In some aspects, the systems and methods may include updating one or more of lag parameters used to calculate the sensor analyte levels.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2018Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: Senseonics, IncorporatedInventors: Xiaoxiao Chen, Ravi Rastogi, Andrew DeHennis, Patricia Sanchez

Publication number: 20220354391Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for dynamic modification of calibration frequency. Dynamic modification of calibration frequency may include one or more of: receiving sensor data conveyed by an analyte sensor comprising an analyte indicator, using the sensor data to calculate one or more analyte levels, and receiving one or more reference analyte level measurements. Dynamic modification of calibration frequency may include using the sensor data, the one or more calculated analyte levels, and/or the one or more reference analyte level measurements to calculate a degradation rate of the analyte indicator of the analyte sensor. Dynamic modification of calibration frequency may include setting a dynamic calibration frequency based on the calculated degradation rate.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 2, 2022Publication date: November 10, 2022Applicant: Senseonics, IncorporatedInventors: Andrew DeHennis, Patricia Sanchez, Samanwoy Ghosh-Dastidar

Patent number: 9191960Abstract: The present invention provides methods and apparatus for mitigating service interruption that occurs due to a change in the IP address of a UE that is receiving a service under control of a Policy and Charging Control (PCC) architecture. According to these methods, a Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF) of the PCC architecture is configured to determine when a change in the IP address of the UE is imminent, and to take temporary actions to mitigate the service interruption perceived by the user of the UE. The PCRF is also configured to trigger a notifications intended for at least one of the UE and any Application Function (AF) that is providing the service to the UE that a change in the IP address of the UE will occur imminently. The UE and AF are therefore also able to anticipate the change in the IP address and take action to mitigate the service interruption perceived by the user prior to the change in the IP address taking place.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2013Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Miguel Angel Garcia Martin, Pablo Martinez de la Cruz, Patricia Sanchez Canton
