  • Publication number: 20240071593
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that provide smart alerts to users, e.g., alerts to users about diabetic states that are only provided when it makes sense to do so, e.g., when the system can predict or estimate that the user is not already cognitively aware of their current condition, e.g., particularly where the current condition is a diabetic state warranting attention. In this way, the alert or alarm is personalized and made particularly effective for that user. Such systems and methods still alert the user when action is necessary, e.g., a bolus or temporary basal rate change, or provide a response to a missed bolus or a need for correction, but do not alert when action is unnecessary, e.g., if the user is already estimated or predicted to be cognitively aware of the diabetic state warranting attention, or if corrective action was already taken.

  • Publication number: 20220349462
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are novel slew drive components and systems. In some cases, a slew drive system can comprise a sensor configured to measure deformation in a deformation element of a sensor carrier component, which can result from axial displacement of a worm gear of the slew drive system. In some cases, measured deformation of a deformation element can be used to determine torque applied to a worm gear by a slew drive worm wheel, as described herein.

  • Patent number: 3992840
    Abstract: A frameless housing composed of plates forming housing walls. Each plate is inwardly bent a number of times towards the inside of the housing along its side edges, possesses bevel-cut corners and the multiple angled or bent edges are each provided with a hollow channel-shaped section formed by bending, said section adjoining the associated plate side edge. A connection section bounds at the channel-shaped section and extends at an angle of approximately 45.degree. towards the inside of the plate. Upon interconnecting each two plates which abut one another at right angles at their connection sections a sealing member can be clampingly held between the channel-shaped sections which confront one another.
