Abstract: Missed meal bolus reminders or alerts require a user to access the user's pump and/or remote control to clear the reminder/alert even when the user skipped a meal such that no meal bolus was needed. CGM data can be leveraged such that the missed meal bolus alert is only triggered when glucose levels rise in response to consuming the meal within the programmed time window. Therefore, the alert is only provided when a meal is actually consumed and no bolus has been delivered. This further allows the user to be alerted sooner, i.e., as soon as glucose levels rise a predetermined amount or passed a predetermined threshold indicating consumption of a meal as opposed to only at the end of the programmed window.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for transitioning to sleep mode or otherwise modified glucose target range in automated insulin delivery systems. For example, sleep mode can include a lower glucose target and/or lower and narrower glucose target range because of fewer variables that affect glucose values during sleep such as eating and exercise. Due to increased stability provided by the sleep mode target range, it is desirable to transition to the sleep mode target range as quickly as possible, while ensuring the transition is done safely and does not risk low glucose or hypoglycemia by too quickly switching to the lower and narrower target range. Systems and methods disclosed herein therefore provide various approaches for safely and quickly transitioning to sleep mode or other modified target ranges in order to improve time in range by being more aggressive to get to the lower sleep mode or other target faster without risking hypoglycemia.

Abstract: Recycled carbon fibers are processed by rotational tumbling in a mixture with binder material to prepare fiber-containing particles having a dual-tapered shape and general alignment of fibers with a longitudinal direction of the particles. Bulk products including such fiber-containing particles are compounded with polymer and pelletized to prepare fiber-reinforced composite pellets, which are useful for applications such as injection molding to prepare molded products of carbon fiber-reinforced composite material with recycled carbon fibers.

Abstract: A processor-implemented method for simultaneously tracking one or more objects includes receiving, via a dynamical system with a set of sensors, a first set of unlabeled measurements from one or more objects. Each of the measurements is a function of time. A set of candidate tracks is determined for the one or more objects. Probabilities of each of the first set of unlabeled measurements being assigned to each of the set of candidate tracks are computed. A track from the set of candidate tracks is determined for each of the one or more objects based on a joint probability distribution of track attributes and the probabilistic assignment of each of the first set of unlabeled measurements to each of the set of candidate tracks.

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.
