Abstract: A blood glucose sensing system includes a sensor and a sensor electronics device. The sensor includes a plurality of electrodes. The sensor electronics device includes stabilization circuitry. The stabilization circuitry causes a first voltage to be applied to one of the electrodes for a first timeframe and causes a second voltage to be applied to one of the electrodes for a second timeframe. The stabilization circuitry repeats the application of the first voltage and the second voltage to continue the anodic-cathodic cycle. The sensor electronics device may include a power supply, a regulator, and a voltage application device, where the voltage application device receives a regulated voltage from the regulator, applies a first voltage to an electrode for the first timeframe, and applies a second voltage to an electrode for the second timeframe.

Abstract: A planetary gearset is provided in a transmission for a vehicle. The planetary gearset includes a carrier that rotates about the axis. Tone wheels can be used as part of a speed-sensing mechanism in which the tone wheel includes surface features on an outside surface, and a speed sensor senses the surface features as they rotate about the axis and past the speed sensor. The tone wheel is connected to the carrier via a press-fit or interference-fit. To do so, the tone wheel includes legs or flanges that extend inward from an inner surface of the tone wheel. The legs or flanges flex as the tone wheel is pressed onto the carrier. The legs or flanges securely attach the tone wheel to the carrier.

Abstract: A method for producing agglomerated particles, including maintaining in a fluid bed a fluidised particle layer above a plate having perforations through which fluidisation gas flows, the fluid bed being divided into an inner and an outer zone, supplying the fluidised particle layer with descending particles directly from a spray dryer to be agglomerated in the fluid bed, atomizing an agglomeration liquid in the fluidised layer of particles, and guiding the fluidised particles in a plug-flow toward an outlet. The outer zone receives the majority of the descending particles and the inner zone is connected to an outlet.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods of inducing differentiation of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells to a mature myelinating cell fate with a neurotransmitter receptor modulating agent. The present invention also provides methods of stimulating increased myelination in a subject in need thereof by administering said neurotransmitter receptor modulating agent. Methods of treating a subject having a demyelinating disease using a neurotransmitter receptor modulating agent are also provided.

Abstract: A sensor system includes a sensor and a sensor electronics device. The sensor includes a plurality of electrodes. The sensor electronics device includes a connection detection device, a power source, and a delay circuit. The connection detection device determines if the sensor electronics device is connected to the sensor and transmits a connection signal. The delay circuit receives the connection signal, waits a preset hydration time, and couples the regulated voltage from the power source to an electrode in the sensor after the preset hydration time has elapsed. Alternatively, the sensor electronics device may include an electrical detection circuit and a microcontroller. The electrical detection circuit determines if the plurality of electrodes are hydrated and generates an interrupt if the electrodes are hydrated. A microcontroller receives the interrupt and transmits a signal representative of a voltage to an electrode of the plurality of electrodes.

Abstract: Presenting content within an application on a device is disclosed. Receiving notification of new content within an application at a device is disclosed. Presenting the received notification at the device is disclosed. Receiving a selection of the notification, and displaying the new content in the screen directly following receiving the selection of the notification are disclosed. Notification can be received outside the application, e.g., by posting notification on a social network, posting notification to a web site, and posting a message to a user's avatar in a virtual world. A selection can be received while the device is offline, in which case the new content displayed is that content stored on the device.

Abstract: The invention relates to an agglomeration apparatus comprising a fluid bed, a source of descending particles, one or more nozzles for atomizing an agglomeration fluid and an outlet for discharging the agglomerated particles. In the fluid bed, the particles are guided towards the outlet and pass an outer and an inner zone. The apparatus provides for the production of an improved agglomerated particulate product with a low content of fine particles.

Abstract: A method of provisioning a computing device based on a health condition of a user is described herein. The method can include the steps of receiving health information from the user in which the health information is related to the health condition of the user and automatically generating health content that is based on the health information from the user. The health content can be delivered to the computing device of the user, and the progress of the user can be monitored with respect to the health condition of the user. The user's progress may be at least partly based on the user's use of the health content. Based on the monitoring of the progress of the user, the health content can be automatically dynamically managed to account for changes or lack of changes in the health condition of the user.

Abstract: A method and system for delegating functionality in a delegate computing device is described herein. The delegate computing device may have access to first content while in a normal operation state. The method includes the steps of receiving a delegation notification and—in response to the receipt of the delegation notification—transitioning the delegate computing device from the normal operation state to a delegation state. While in the delegation state, the delegate computing device may have access to second content that is associated with a primary computing device. The method also includes the steps of receiving a cessation notification and—in response to the receipt of the cessation notification—transitioning the delegate computing device from the delegation state back to the normal operation state. While back in the normal operation state, the delegate computing device no longer has access to at least some portion of the second content.

Abstract: A method and system for provisioning a computing device based on location is disclosed herein. The computing device may be provisioned with first content based on a first location. The method includes the step of detecting a first change in the location of the computing device such that the computing device transitions from the first location to a second location. The method also includes the step of—in response to the detection of the first change in the location—identifying second content based on the second location. As an example, the second content may be at least partially based on the customs of the second location. In addition, the method also includes the step of provisioning the computing device with the second content such that the computing device is configured to at least partially operate in accordance with the customs of the second location.
