  • 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.

  • Patent number: 5160777
    Abstract: An imaging base paper is disclosed having a center raw-base cellulose paper, a front layer of polyolefin laminated to the front side of the center raw-base cellulose paper and a rear layer of polyolefin laminated to the rear side of the center raw-base cellulose paper having areas of a higher gloss level in first regions of the rear side of the imaging base paper and having areas of a lower gloss level in second regions of the rear side of the imaging base paper surrounding the first regions. The gloss difference between the first regions and the second regions on the coated paper amounts to from about 20 to 80, as measured with a measuring head under an angle of 60 degrees, according to standard ASTM D 523.

  • Patent number: 4987014
    Abstract: A chill cylinder roll, disposed in-line and furnished with etched or engraved patterns or symbols on its surface, is employed during the extrusion coating. The pattern, to be transferred to the back side polyolefin coating, is characterized by an increase in height or, alternatively, a decrease in height of the surface level in certain areas of the chill cylinder roll, and which is further distinguished, as compared to the remaining cylinder-roll surface, by a different gloss. In particular, higher disposed surface parts of the chill cylinder roll, relative to the center axis of the roll, always exhibit a higher gloss.
