  • Patent number: 11928494
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein are directed to configuring managed virtual machines. For instance, a management service (e.g., a mobile device manager) may provide configuration settings to a parent virtual machine. Upon successful application of the configuration settings, the parent virtual machine notifies a configuration service that it is in a steady state and provides the configuration settings to the configuration service. The configuration service notifies a cloud-based service (e.g., a virtual desktop service) that it is configured to instantiate virtual machines. The notification informs the cloud-based service that it is permitted to instantiate child virtual machines. Responsive to receiving the notification, the cloud-based service instantiates child virtual machine(s) as needed.

A spacer between the first E/C layer and the base layer. The base layer includes a lower base region, and the spacer is adjacent to the lower base region and the first E/C layer. An upper base region is on the lower base region and the spacer. A horizontal width of the upper base region is larger than a horizontal width of the lower base region.

  • Publication number: 20230338653
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are apparatuses and methods that can simplify delivery of meal boluses in diabetes therapy. Rather than requiring a user to enter a number of carbohydrates for a given meal, the system can automatically provide a predetermined amount of insulin when the user indicates that a meal is going to be consumed. Providing such predetermined, fixed meal boluses provides a lower cognitive burden alternative for the mealtime experience.

  • Publication number: 20230113755
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are apparatuses and methods that can provide a delayed bolus calculator for use in closed loop diabetes therapy that can account for additional factors not taken into account in regular meal bolus calculations when a user wants to deliver a meal bolus a period of time after a meal was consumed. A delayed bolus calculator can enable the user to enter a period of time since the meal was consumed in addition to the number of carbohydrates consumed in a meal. This enables the system to account for the amount of increased insulin from the closed loop algorithm in response to the meal and/or the time since the meal to ensure that the risk of hypoglycemia is mitigated while still reducing hyperglycemia.

  • Publication number: 20230040677
    Abstract: An alternate mode for addressing meals in closed loop insulin delivery systems is disclosed. An Eating Soon Mode may be a user-selectable feature that can be activated when a user anticipates eating a meal in the near future. Once activated, Eating Soon Mode preemptively modifies the closed loop algorithm in preparation for the expected rise in glucose levels from consumption of the meal. This can result in a greater amount of time in range for the user, a lower coefficient of variation of the user's glucose levels and/or a lower maximum BG level for the user. According to embodiments disclosed herein, activation of Eating Soon Mode modifies the algorithm to deliver a correction bolus to lower the user's glucose level and to provide a modified, lower target range at which to maintain the user's glucose levels in anticipation of the glucose rise that will result from the meal.

  • Publication number: 20230037465
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for automated insulin delivery that provide an Alternate Normal Activity Mode that has a lower and narrower target range than the standard range employed in Normal Mode. The Alternative Normal Mode can be a user-selectable feature that provides more aggressive glucose level control that is designed to decrease hyperglycemia without significantly increasing the risk of hypoglycemia. For example, Normal Mode may employ a standard glucose range between which the closed loop algorithm attempts to maintain the user's glucose levels such as 112.5 mg/dL to 160 mg/dL and Alternative Normal Mode may employ a lower and narrower range such as 90 mg/dL to 130 mg/dL. Alternative Normal Mode can also employ a lockout feature that is activated when glucose is high, but is falling rapidly.

  • Patent number: 11334642
    Abstract: A system and method for implementing a self-learning webpage layout based on history data is disclose. A server system collects user preference data from one or more client system. The server system stores the collected user preference data in a database associated with the server system. The server system receives a webpage request from a client system, wherein the requested webpage includes a plurality of topical sections. For each respective topical section, the server system accesses user preference data associated with the respective topical section from the database associated with the server system. The server system automatically generates a customized layout for the requested webpage by arranging the one or more topical sections in association with the user preference data associated with each topical section.
