Abstract: Methods, devices and systems are disclosed for inter-app communications between software applications on a mobile communications device. In one aspect, a computer-readable medium on a mobile computing device comprising an inter-application communication data structure to facilitate transitioning and distributing data between software applications in a shared app group for an operating system of the mobile computing device includes a scheme field of the data structure providing a scheme id associated with a target software app to transition to from a source software app, wherein the scheme id is listed on a scheme list stored with the source software app; and a payload field of the data structure providing data and/or an identification where to access data in a shared file system accessible to the software applications in the shared app group, wherein the payload field is encrypted.

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.

Abstract: A system is configured to receive a data file from an electronic device. The system, in one embodiment, is operable to receive a user's selection of a party together with information input by the user. The system is operable to send the data file to the selected party. The system stores, in association with the selected party, the input information and data related to the sending of the data file.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and apparatus for delivering documents. A web based application server transmits a document to a distribution management system. The distribution management system then translates the document if necessary (e.g., from a spreadsheet to a PDF and a fax) and sends the translated document to one or more destinations such as email inboxes, printers, and fax machines. For fax deliveries, the distribution management system sends the document to a particular client device that is associated with the fax destination. For example, the client device that actually transmits the fax may reside at a company, and the fax machine may be at a customer of that company. In this manner, fax transmissions appear to come from the correct source (not the distribution management system), and transmission charges associated with the fax are incurred by the appropriate company (not the company associated with the distribution management system).

Abstract: A disc brake caliper is made to receive a series of pads extending circumferentially of the disc. Each pad is pressurised by a pair of pistons including a smaller piston located radially outwardly and a larger piston located radially inwardly. All of the pistons and cylinders are connected together for common hydraulic pressurization. The arrangement provides better distribution of the braking force, and greater equalization of pad wear. The relatively greater area of pistons as compared to the pad area also contributes towards more even braking force, whilst the smaller diameter pistons and cylinders, as compared to what would be necessary if only a single piston and cylinder were used, enables shorter cylinder length and hence a slimmer and lighter caliper without risk of pistons tilting and jamming.
