Abstract: Example systems have a defrost system that can receive a first RF signal at a first frequency to defrost a load. An air treatment device can receive a second RF signal at a second frequency and perform an air treatment process. An RF signal source has a power output, and a switching arrangement selectively electrically connects the defrost system and the first air treatment device to the power output of the RF signal source. A controller can electrically connect one of the defrost system and the first air treatment device to the power output of the RF signal source. When the defrost system is electrically connected, the RF signal source outputs the first RF signal at the first frequency, and when the first air treatment device is electrically connected, the RF signal source outputs the second RF signal at the second frequency.

Abstract: A data collection device for attachment to an injection device, such as an injector pen, includes a sensor arrangement to detect movement of a movable component of the injection device relative to the data collection device during delivery of a medicament by the injection device, and a processor arrangement configured to, based on said detected movement, determine a medicament dosage administered by the injection device. The processor arrangement may monitor the time that has elapsed since the medicament dosage was administered, and control a display to show the mediacament dosage and elapsed time to provide a memory aid to the user. In an example embodiment, the sensor arrangement includes an optical encoder and the movable component includes a plurality of light barrier formations. The movable component may be a number sleeve that provides a visual indication of a dose programmed into the injection device.

Abstract: A multi-version database includes user-defined blockchain containers, where each of the user-defined blockchain containers is configured based on a type of data to be stored in a corresponding user-defined blockchain container. Each of the user-defined blockchain containers includes a set of one or more fields defined by a user. A command to write data to the multi-version database is received, where the command includes an identification of a first blockchain container of the user-defined blockchain containers, an identification of at least one of the set of one or more fields of the first blockchain container, and a value to write for at least one field of the set of one or more fields. A record is generated for the first blockchain container, the record including the value to write for the at least one field. A current state of the first blockchain container is then updated to include the record.
