  • Publication number: 20160113594
    Abstract: The subject matter disclosed herein provides methods for presenting glucose level data. Glucose data for a patient may be received. A current glucose level and a rate of change of the current glucose level may be determined based on the received glucose data. A first interface may be displayed on a screen of a device. The first interface may include a unitary icon. The unitary icon may display the current glucose level and a visualization of the rate of change. Related apparatus, systems, techniques, and articles are also described.

  • Publication number: 20150360605
    Abstract: The specification discloses a vehicle visor including a vanity light assembly and an actuator assembly. The visor vanity additionally includes a mirror and a movable mirror cover. The light assembly includes a light source and a light pipe for conveying light from the light source to two or more diffusers, for example, on opposite ends of the mirror. The actuator assembly includes a switching arrangement for switching the light source on and off without flicker or noise in response to the opening and closing of the mirror cover.

  • Publication number: 20150289821
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that employ several or numerous factors in the determination of a glycemic urgency index (GUI), which may be based on a measured blood glucose level as well as other factors. The other factors may include time derivatives of the glucose level and/or other factors, e.g., user—entered data, data measured by other sensors or received from a network source, or historical data. The GUI is then presented to the user in an interesting way, e.g., via a background color or other inconspicuous notifier, e.g., on a mobile device such as a smart phone. The GUI may also be employed in the triggering of actionable alerts and alarms on an electronic device for the user. The GUI, or another index calculated from combinations of the variables and parameters described, may further be employed to drive a medicament delivery device such as a pump.

  • Publication number: 20140104780
    Abstract: A disk drive carrier includes a frame and a shuttle. The frame includes supports configured to be in physical communication with a disk drive, a first index tab to align the disk drive with a connector on a backplane of a server tray, and an arm configured to engage the disk drive with the connector in a horizontal orientation. The shuttle includes a base including a channel, edges extending from the base and forming an enclosure to receive the frame and the disk drive in a vertical orientation, a fastener connected to the server tray through the channel, and an alignment key configured to slide along the first index tab and to align the disk drive with the connector. The disk drive shuttle is configured to horizontally move along the server tray and to enable the disk drive to connect with the connector in the horizontal orientation.

  • Patent number: 7576979
    Abstract: An improved modular server handle mechanism. The handle mechanism provides a translating handle mechanism that does not visibly function like a cam lever, and provides a carry handle solution when transporting the blade. In operation, to remove a blade server, a user pushes a button that releases the handle from a locked position. The handle is then pulled, and the cam levers undock the blade module from the chassis. When the cam motion is complete, the handle “locks out” in an open position to provide a carry handle.

  • Publication number: 20070181241
    Abstract: A method of forming a stitchless, adhesively bonded seam involves placing a first strip of adhesive (9) between the outside surface of first and second sheets of material (1, 2) along an edge (8) of the second sheet. At least a portion of a second strip of adhesive (13) is positioned against a first portion (17) of the inside surface (7) of the second sheet along the edge thereof. The second sheet of material is folded such that a second portion (18) of the inside surface overlies the second strip of adhesive. In some embodiments the first and second strips of adhesive are replaced by a single longitudinally folded strip of adhesive. Energy may be applied, via an ultrasonic seam bonding machine or other means, to activate the adhesive. Seams made according to the disclosed methods may be used for garments, sports articles, and other items made of fabric or other sheet material.

  • Publication number: 20060207378
    Abstract: The invention provides a mounting structure for engaging a vehicle with a steering column adjustable in raking movement. The mounting structure includes a compression bracket having first and second walls spaced from one another for frictionally engaging a rake bracket. A first aperture is formed in the first wall and a second aperture is formed in the second wall for receiving a rake bolt. The mounting structure also includes a first clamp cooperating with the compression bracket to define a third aperture extending along an axis to receive a steering column jacket. The first clamp is operable to reduce a size of the third aperture at a first position along the axis to selectively clamp the steering column jacket. The mounting structure also includes a second clamp cooperating with the compression bracket to define a fourth aperture centered on the axis to receive the steering column jacket.

  • Publication number: 20050230026
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of forming a stitchless, adhesively bonded seam for a garment. The method includes providing a first and second sheet of fabric with each sheet having an outside or facing surface, an inside or backing surface, and an edge. The outside surface and edge of the first sheet of fabric are positioned adjacent to the outside surface and edge of the second sheet of fabric, respectively. A first strip of adhesive tape, having first and second sides and an edge, is positioned between the first and second sheets of fabric such that the edge of the first strip of adhesive tape is adjacent to the edges of the first and second sheets of fabric, and the first and second sides of the first strip of adhesive tape are adjacent to the outside surfaces of the first and second sheets of fabric, respectively.

  • Patent number: 6932210
    Abstract: A self-cleaning oscillating conveyor includes a vertical tube and a conveyor channel that is helically wound upwardly around the vertical tube with a corresponding electromagnetic oscillating unit and a casing tube, which surrounds the exterior of the conveyor channel. The chamber between the vertical tube and the casing tube can be sprayed by several nozzles, which penetrate the interior of the vertical tube, or the exterior of the casing tube, with a liquid detergent, sprayed under pressure and using a delivery pump. The cleaning liquid runs onto the collection plate and over the rim thereof into a collection channel having a drain. In a preferred embodiment, semi-tubes, or half-tubes, are longitudinally mounted onto the casing tube in a sealed manner and a row of nozzles penetrates the casing tube from the chamber between the interior of the semi-tubes and the casing tube towards the interior.
